A spokesperson for the carrier told the media outlet that United Flight 1001, a Boeing 757-200, lost a main landing gear wheel while taking off from Los Angeles International Airport at 0716 local time. The plane landed safely at Denver International Airport at 1010 local time. 

The mishap appears to be a downstream issue, likely related to the airline's ground crew instead of Boeing.

In mid-March, United CEO Scott Kirby issued a statement to customers, reassuring them that the carrier's planes are safe following a series of mid-air incidents.

Here are some of those incidents:
