On 19 May, an iAero Airways (previously Swift Air) Boeing 737-800 (registered N820TJ) operated a domestic flight between Victorville and San Diego, United States. During landing, however, the aircraft was photographed with parts of its lower vertical stabiliser missing. Following images appeared on social media.
