US-bound plane takes off with missing window panes as crew fails to spot damage


An Airbus A321 aircraft took off from London Stansted Airport last month with four damaged window panes, including two that were missing, according to UK air accident investigators. The plane landed back at Stansted Airport safely shortly afterward. “Having inspected the window, it was agreed the aircraft should return to Stansted,” the report continues. The flight crew initiated a descent and the aircraft arrived back at Stansted Airport a short while later. After passengers had disembarked and the plane was parked and shut down, the crew inspected the plane from the outside, and found that two cabin window panes were missing and a third was dislodged.
