A Southwest Airlines Boeing loses its engine cover during takeoff. The plane, which was taking off from Denver Airport, United States, to Houston, was forced to return to the boarding gate.

This is yet another incident for the American company Boeing, which has been in turmoil for several months: the American Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced this Sunday, April 7, that it was going to open an investigation after the engine cover of a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-800 came off during takeoff in Denver.

In images of the incident that have gone viral on social networks, we see the cover coming off the device. The pilot is also heard indicating an "immediate return" at the boarding gate.

Southwest Airlines Flight 3695 returned safely to Denver International Airport around 8:15 a.m. local time Sunday and was towed to the gate .

135 passengers on board

The aircraft was carrying 135 passengers and six crew members to Houston's William P. Hobby Airport. None of them were injured.

Maintenance teams are examining the plane, said Southwest Airlines, which declined to specify the date of the last engine maintenance operation.

The airline apologized to passengers on X.
