Bullet holes were found on the wing of an American Airlines 737 MAX 8 after landing in Miami from Colombia, according to media reports.
Flight AA923 landed at Miami International Airport on Monday when a routine post-flight inspection found the puncture marks on the aircraft's right aileron.
"The aircraft was immediately removed from service for further inspection and repair. We will work closely with all relevant authorities to investigate this incident," American Airlines said in a statement.

When the Boeing 787 operates on autopilot, its sophisticated flight control system manages the flaperons to maintain stable flight, particularly during turbulence. The system continuously receives data from various sensors, including airspeed indicators, inertial navigation systems, and accelerometers. When turbulence is detected, the autopilot system automatically adjusts the position of the flaperons to counteract any rolling motions caused by gusts or disturbances in the airflow. These adjustments are made in real-time to ensure the aircraft remains on its intended flight path and passengers experience minimal discomfort.
