Answer

What should airlines do after a panel detaches from an aircraft?

Airlines should secure the aircraft, review maintenance records, and cooperate fully with investigators. They also need to check whether similar parts on the same fleet were serviced recently or may need extra inspection. Clear communication with passengers is important too, especially on busy routes connected to Mallorca.
