• 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. The flight landed safely but blew both front nose gear tires. The airport closed runway 07R/25L for 3 hours to allow recovery. The nose gear suffered the same problem as JetBlue Flight 292. • On 12 August 2010, Azerbaijan Airlines Flight 075, an Airbus A319-111 registered as 4K-AZ04, suffered an undercarriage collapse when the aircraft departed the runway on landing at Atatürk International Airport, Istanbul, Turkey. The aircraft was substantially damaged but all 127 passengers and crew escaped unharmed. The aircraft was later repaired. • On 24 September 2010, Wind Jet Flight 243, operated by an Airbus A319-132 registered as EI-EDM, landed short of runway 07 while attempting a landing at Palermo Airport, Italy. The aircraft stopped in the grass out of the runway but was seriously damaged and was written off. 34 passengers suffered minor injuries. • 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. The aircraft landed safely with injuries sustained only to the copilot and a cabin crew member.
