Appearance
The following is a list of accidents and incidents involving the Airbus A320 family and Airbus A320neo family of jet airliners. As of March 2024[update], 180 aviation accidents and incidents have occurred,[1] including 38 hull loss accidents,[2] resulting in a total of 1490 fatalities.[3]
Through 2015, the Airbus A320 family has experienced 0.12 fatal hull-loss accidents for every million takeoffs, and 0.26 total hull-loss accidents for every million takeoffs; one of the lowest fatality rates of any airliner.[4]
Airbus A319
[edit]2000s
[edit]- 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]
2010s
[edit]- 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, with only three passengers sustaining minor injuries. The aircraft was repaired and returned to service.[12]
- 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.[16]
- 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. The aircraft landed safely with injuries sustained only to the copilot and a cabin crew member.[17][18]

- On 20 September 2012, Syrian Air Flight 501, an Airbus A320-232, 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.[55]
- On 2 June 2013, Cebu Pacific Flight 971, an Airbus A320-214 registered as RP-C3266, suffered a runway extrusion 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.[56]
- 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.[57]

- 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.[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. Despite this, Lubitz kept the declaration hidden from his employer and reported for duty.[64]
- On 29 March 2015, Air Canada Flight 624, an Airbus A320-211 registered as C-FTJP, touched down short of the runway while landing at Halifax Stanfield International Airport in low visibility and heavy snow, colliding with a power pole and an antenna array, cutting power to the airport and causing the landing gear to separate from the aircraft.

There were no survivors.[112] 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.[113]
- 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.[114] The event was also reported in the German press several days before the Germanwings crash.[115] 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.[116][117]
- 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. It was determined that the appropriate windshear precautions were not applied.[118][119]
- 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.[120] 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,[121][122] and that ISIL has claimed that it brought down the aircraft.[123]
- 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.[124]
- On 8 December 2017, a Qatar Airways Airbus A321-231 registered as A7-AIB was damaged beyond economic repair by a fire at Hamad International Airport, Doha, Qatar.[125]
- On 10 April 2019, American Airlines Flight 300, an Airbus A321-231(WL) registered as N114NN, had its left wing hit the ground and a marker during takeoff at John F. Kennedy International Airport. The plane took off safely and returned to the airport. No one on board was injured, but the plane was written off.[126][127]
- On 15 August 2019, Ural Airlines Flight 178, an Airbus A321-211 registered as VQ-BOZ, flying from Zhukovsky International Airport to Simferopol and carrying 226 passengers and 7 crew, suffered a double engine bird strike shortly after takeoff,[128] and subsequently made an emergency landing in a cornfield less than 3 nautical miles (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) from the runway[129] with its landing gear up.[130] There were no fatalities, but 23 people were hospitalized.[131]
2020s
[edit]- 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.[132] 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.[133]
- On 26 May 2023, an incident occurred on Asiana Airlines Flight 8124, an Airbus A321-231 registered as HL8256, during which 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. The aircraft landed safely, but at least six people were injured and taken to a hospital. The passenger that opened the exit was arrested.[134]
Airbus A321neo
[edit]2010s
[edit]- On 29 November 2018, VietJet Air Flight 356, an Airbus A321-271N registered as VN-A653, lost both wheels of its nosegear in a hard landing at Buon Ma Thuot Airport, Đắk Lắk Province, after a flight from Tan Son Nhat International Airport. Passengers were evacuated via emergency slides and 6 people were injured.[135]
