An American Airlines Boeing 777 whose door ripped off on 15 June remains out of service for repairs, but could resume operations today, says the airline.
The door separated from the aircraft when it rolled back upon parking at the gate at American's hub in Dallas-Fort Worth.
The aircraft arrived as Flight 962 from São Paulo, Brazil with 200 passengers and 14 flight crew onboard. No injuries have been reported.
Because the investigation is still ongoing, American does not know the exact cause of the incident. The airline says it is unsure if the brakes were set and malfunctioned, or if the brakes were not set at all. The Dallas-based carrier does confirm, however, that the wheels were not chocked at the time of the incident.
The aircraft is currently out of service for repairs, but American tells ATI that it could return to revenue service later today. The aircraft's removal from service has not affected any other flights.
