Original Note:
The issue was most likely related to the maintenance carried out by the airline. The aircraft was delivered in 2015. The likely cause of the incident is improper securing of the cowling cover, which is normally open during checks. Also Boeing does not manufacture the engine. https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/faa-says-southwest-plane-with-boeing-engine-cowling-fell-off-during-takeoff-2024-04-07/
