## Airbus A319
### 2000s

* On 19 January 2003, a Northwest Airlines Airbus A319-100 registered as N313NB, was damaged by maintenance personnel at LaGuardia Airport, Queens, New York, U.S. While being taxied from a maintenance area to the gate, the aircraft struck the gate and a Northwest Airlines Boeing 757, collapsing the nose gear. The Airbus was damaged beyond repair and written off.
* On 10 May 2005, Northwest Airlines Flight 1495, a Northwest Airlines McDonnell Douglas DC-9 registered as N763NC, collided on the ground with a Northwest Airlines Airbus A319-114 registered as N368NB that had just pushed back from the gate at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, Hennepin County, Minnesota, U.S. On the flight preceding the incident, the DC-9 suffered a malfunction in one of its hydraulic systems while in flight. After landing, the captain shut down one of the plane's engines, inadvertently disabling the remaining working hydraulic system that controlled the aircraft's brakes and reverse thrusters. This caused the DC-9 to contact the Airbus A319 at a speed of 16mph. Six people were injured and both planes were substantially damaged. The A319 was repaired and returned to service while the DC-9 was written off.
* On 15 September 2006, EasyJet Flight 6074, an Airbus A319-111 registered as G-EZAC, en route from Alicante to Bristol Airport experienced a major electrical system failure near Nantes, France, that caused multiple aircraft systems to become inoperative, including the aircraft's radios, autopilot, the captain's electronic flight instrument display, and TCAS. As a consequence of these failures, the A319 nearly collided with American Airlines Flight AAL63, a Boeing 777-223ER. The crew managed to reconfigure the transponder only and continued on to land at Bristol Airport without any further communication to the air traffic controller.

### 2010s

* On 10 January 2010, United Airlines Flight 634, an Airbus A319 registered as N816UA, experienced problems with its right main landing gear while preparing to land at Newark Liberty International Airport. After unsuccessfully attempting to fix the problem, the flight crew made an emergency landing with the right main landing gear retracted, resulting in substantial damage to the aircraft. All 53 people evacuated the aircraft via the emergency slides. The aircraft was repaired and returned to service.
* On 10 March 2010, Pegasus Airlines Flight 361, an Airbus A319 operated by IZair on a ferry flight, made an emergency landing at Frankfurt Airport, Germany, after a malfunction in the nose gear.

* On 24 May 2013, British Airways Flight 762, an Airbus A319-131 registered as G-EUOE, returned to London Heathrow Airport after fan cowl doors detached from both engines shortly after take off. During the approach a fire broke out in the right engine and persisted after the engine was shut down. The aircraft landed safely with no injuries to the 80 people on board. The accident report revealed that the cowlings had been left unlatched following overnight maintenance. The separation of the doors caused airframe damage and the right hand engine fire resulted from a ruptured fuel pipe.
* On 15 January 2018, an Afriqiyah Airways Airbus A319-111 registered as 5A-ONC, was destroyed by artillery fire at Mitiga International Airport in Tripoli, Libya.
* On 14 May 2018, Sichuan Airlines Flight 8633, an Airbus A319-133 registered as B-6419, diverted to Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport after one of the cockpit windshields on the copilot's side blew out during the climb towards cruising altitude.

* On 4 April 2011, United Airlines Flight 497, an Airbus A320-232 registered as N409UA, made an emergency landing at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport after reporting smoke on board, which later turned out to be erroneous. The aircraft veered off the runway but no one among the 109 people on board were injured. The aircraft received minor damage, and occupants were evacuated via the emergency slides.
* On 20 April 2011, Vueling Flight 2220, an Airbus A320-211 registered as EC-GRH, landed with the nose gear rotated 90 degrees after an aborted approach and about 20 minutes in a holding pattern. The plane came to a safe stop with damage to the nose wheels and no injuries on board.
* On 29 August 2011, Gulf Air Flight 270, an Airbus A320-214, from Bahrain to Cochin carrying 143 people, skidded off the runway on landing due to pilot error. The weather was poor with heavy rain and strong winds. The aircraft was badly damaged and seven passengers were injured. Some people were reported to have jumped from an emergency exit when the emergency slide failed to deploy.
* On 20 September 2012, Syrian Air Flight 501, an Airbus A320-232 registered as YK-AKF, collided in mid-air with a military helicopter. The A320 lost approximately half its vertical stabilizer but landed safely; the helicopter crashed, killing three of its occupants.
* On 2 June 2013, Cebu Pacific Flight 971, an Airbus A320-214 registered as RP-C3266, excursed from the runway while landing at Francisco Bangoy International Airport. During the approach the pilot had over corrected his alignment with the center line and caused the aircraft's alignment to be on the right half portion of the runway. The pilot mistook the runway's right edge lights for the unlit center lights and thus caused him to instead land on the grass. The nose landing gear was heavily damaged. All of the 165 passengers and the 6 crew survived. The aircraft was repaired and was eventually returned to service.
* On 25 July 2013, a Ural Airlines Airbus A320-214 registered as VQ-BDJ had its nose gear rotated 90 degrees while taxiing at Koltsovo International Airport.
* On 5 January 2014, Air India Flight 890, an Airbus A320-231 registered as VT-ESH, was landing in zero-visibility weather at Jaipur International Airport.

However, the aircraft was written off as a result of the substantial damage.
* On 14 March 2014, US Airways Flight 1702, an Airbus A320-214 registered as N113UW, attempted to take off from Philadelphia, PA, on a flight to Fort Lauderdale, FL, but was unable to take off normally and struck its tail on the runway. After reaching 20 feet off the ground, the pilots rejected takeoff, causing the nose gear to collapse when touching back down on the runway. No one was injured, but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. Take-off was aborted because the pilot was confused by warning messages, which resulted from incorrect cockpit data inputs while taxiing.
* On 28 December 2014, Indonesia AirAsia Flight 8501, an Airbus A320-216 registered as PK-AXC, crashed into the Java Sea between the islands of Belitung and Borneo, killing all 162 on board. The cause was initially a malfunction in two of the plane's rudder travel limiter units, followed by incorrect actions by the crew which eventually led the plane to stall while encountering a thunderstorm. The crew ignored the recommended procedure to deal with the problem and reset a circuit breaker which further disengaged the autopilot and other flight protection systems which contributed to the subsequent loss of control. Investigators have stated that the condition of the FAC (Flight Augmentation Control) on the flight "was persistent enough" for the captain to do such actions.
* On 24 March 2015, Germanwings Flight 9525, an Airbus A320-211 registered as D-AIPX, flying from Barcelona to Düsseldorf crashed near Digne in the Southern French Alps, killing all 150 on board.

### 2010s

* On 28 July 2010, Airblue Flight 202, an Airbus A321-231 registered as AP-BJB, crashed in the Margalla Hills, Islamabad, Pakistan. The weather was poor with low visibility. During a non-standard self-created approach below the minimum descent altitude, the aircraft crashed into the ground after the captain ignored 21 cockpit warnings to pull-up. There were no survivors. The commander, Pervez Iqbal Chaudry, was one of Airblue's most senior pilots with more than 35 years experience. The accident was the first fatal accident involving the A321, and the deadliest plane crash in Pakistan.
* On 5 November 2014, Lufthansa Flight 1829, an Airbus A321-231 registered as D-AIDP, was flying from Bilbao to Munich when the aircraft, while on autopilot, lowered the nose into a descent reaching 4000 fpm. The uncommanded pitch-down was caused by two angle of attack sensors that were jammed in their positions, causing the fly by wire protection to believe the aircraft entered a stall while it climbed through FL310. The Alpha Protection activated, forcing the aircraft to pitch down, which required the pilots to continually use more than 50% of full stick input to correct. The crew disconnected the related Air Data Units and were able to recover the aircraft. The event was also reported in the German press several days before the Germanwings crash. The German Federal Bureau of Aircraft Accident Investigation (BFU) reported on the incident on 17 March 2015 in a Bulletin publishing the flight data recorder and pitch control data in English and German. As a result of this incident an Airworthiness Directive made mandatory the Aircraft Flight Manual amended by the procedure the manufacturer had described in the FOT and the OEB and a subsequent information of flight crews prior to the next flight. EASA issued a similar Airworthiness Directive for the aircraft types A330/340.
* On 15 August 2015, American Airlines Flight 1851, an Airbus A321-231 registered as N564UW, suffered a loss of lift and hit the runway approach lights followed by a tail strike onto the runway surface while attempting to go-around at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport after experiencing a small microburst on approach.
