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.^[5]
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.^[6] 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.^[7] ^[8] ^[9]
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.^[10] ^[11]

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.^[60] Take-off was aborted because the pilot was confused by warning messages, which resulted from incorrect cockpit data inputs while taxiing.^[61]
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.^[62]
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.^[63] The crash was deliberately caused by the co-pilot Andreas Lubitz, who had previously been treated for suicidal tendencies and been declared "unfit to work" by a doctor.

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.^[111] The event was also reported in the German press several days before the Germanwings crash.^[112] 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.^[113] ^[114]
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.

On 31 October 2015, Metrojet Flight 9268, an Airbus A321-231 registered as EI-ETJ operated by Russian airline company Kogalymavia and branded as Metrojet, crashed in the Hasana area of central Sinai, Egypt while en route from Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt to St. Petersburg, Russia. There were 224 people on board (217 passengers and 7 crew). There were no survivors. The flight disappeared from radar 23 minutes after take-off.^[117] ADS-B tracking of the A321 onboard flight sensors by Flightradar24 indicates that the flight was at 31,000 feet before a rapid descent. The cause of the crash was likely an onboard explosive device,^[118] ^[119] and that ISIL has claimed that it brought down the aircraft.^[120]
On 2 February 2016, Daallo Airlines Flight 159, an Airbus A321-111 registered as SX-BHS, suffered an in-flight explosion five minutes after takeoff, injuring two passengers; the explosion blew a hole in the fuselage, causing a passenger to fall out of the plane. The passenger's severely burnt body was found on the ground in the village of Dhiiqaaley near Balad, Somalia. The aircraft returned to Mogadishu and was able to land safely. Investigators determined that explosion was caused by a suicide bomber who detonated explosives. The bomber was the same passenger who fell out of the aircraft.^[121]

2020s

On 26 February 2020, a Titan Airways Airbus A321-211 registered as G-POWN, encountered problems with both engines shortly after takeoff from Gatwick Airport. The flight was a positioning operation without passengers en route to Stansted Airport.^[129] The aircraft made a successful emergency landing back at Gatwick Airport. There were no injuries. The cause was a fueling error in which an excessive quantity of Kathon had been added to the fuel.^[130]
On 26 May 2023, Asiana Airlines Flight 8124, an Airbus A321-231 registered as HL8256. A port-side emergency exit was opened by a passenger while the aircraft was on approach to Daegu International Airport on a flight from Jeju Island. The emergency slide deployed and was ripped off.
