The FAA reported: "AIRCRAFT LOST A 2' X 6" INSPECTION PANEL FROM THE LEFT WING WHILE ENROUTE TO LAX AND RETURNED TO DFW, DALLAS-FORT WORTH, TX.", the damage was reported unknown and the occurrence rated an incident.

A passenger told the airline: "Delta passengers are complaining about the $15 voucher for the inconvenience. Maybe rethink your strategy after terrifying hundreds of passengers in flight DL1041. It’s all good though. I’m still a Delta fan."
