The DC-9 suffered a malfunction in one of its hydraulic systems in flight. After landing, the captain shut down one of the plane's engines, inadvertently disabling the remaining working hydraulic system. Six people were injured and both planes were substantially damaged. On 12 August 2010, Flight 75, using an Airbus A319-111 and registered as 4K-AZ04, suffered a collapse of the undercarriage when the aircraft departed the runway on landing at, Turkey.

As of 2009, the accident was caused by (by positioning the left throttle into reverse with the right engine throttle being in the climb power setting) and by bad weather (this was possibly exaggerated by the lack of effective drainage grooving on the runway).
All 187 passengers and crew died with 12 fatalities on the ground, the ground fatalities mainly from the TAM headquarters and the petrol station at the end of the runway, totaling 199 people.

A320 Cockpit Landing
The aircraft was badly damaged and seven passengers were injured. Some people were reported to have jumped from an emergency exit when the evacuation slide failed to deploy.
On 20 September 2012, Flight 501, using an Airbus A320-232, collided in mid-air with a military helicopter. The A320 lost half its vertical stabilizer but landed safely; the helicopter crashed, killing three of its occupants. On 2 June 2013, Flight 971, using an Airbus A320-214, registered as (RP-C3266), landed from on.
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 14 March 2014, Flight 1702, flown by an Airbus A320-214 registered N113UW, attempted to take off from, on a flight to, 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 plane was. 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, using an Airbus A320-216, from, to, crashed into the between the islands of and, killing all 162 on board. The cause was initially a malfunction in two of the plane's rudder travel limiter units which caused the plane to while encountering a thunderstorm. The crew ignored the recommended procedure to deal with the problem and disengaged the autopilot which contributed to the subsequent loss of control. Investigators have stated that the condition of the (Flight Augmentation Control) on the flight 'was persistent enough' for the captain to do such actions. On 24 March 2015, using an Airbus A320-211, flying from to crashed near in the, killing all 150 on board. 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 29 March 2015, using an Airbus A320-211, flying from to carrying 138 people crash landed short of the runway hitting a power pole and an antenna array, the aircraft regained flight momentum before slamming down on to the end of the runway at where the landing gear collapsed. The weather was poor with heavy snow and low visibility. The aircraft was badly damaged and 23 people suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Wind-shear during final approach might have been the cause.
On 14 April 2015, an Airbus A320-232 (registration HL7762) with 82 people on board, lost height on final approach to in, struck an localizer antenna, and skidded onto the runway on its tail, spinning 180 degrees before coming to a stop. Its main landing gear collapsed and the aircraft suffered damage to its left wing and left engine. No one was killed, but 27 of the 82 people on board were injured, of which one serious. The aircraft was flying from, in. On 25 April 2015, operated by A320-232, TC-JPE was severely damaged in a landing accident at,. The aircraft aborted the first hard landing, which inflicted engine and gear damage.
On the 2nd attempt at landing, the right gear collapsed and the aircraft rolled off the runway spinning 180 degrees. All on board evacuated without injury. On 29 March 2016, operated by Airbus A320-232 SU-GCB was hijacked during a Flight from, to. The aircraft landed at,. On 19 May 2016, operated by A320-232 SU-GCC, crashed into the Mediterranean 20 minutes before its scheduled arrival at from.

The 175 passengers and crew were evacuated unharmed but the two people in the truck were injured. The aircraft was severely damaged and was written off.
On 28 July 2010, an Airbus A321 flying from to Islamabad, crashed in the,. 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. 146 passengers and six crew were on board the aircraft.
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. On 5 November 2014, Flight 1829, an Airbus A321 was flying from to 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 could not be corrected even by full stick input. 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 (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 31 October 2015, an Airbus A321-231 belonging to Russian airline company (branded as ), crashed in the Hasana area of central, on its way from, Egypt to, Russia. There were 224 people on board (217 passengers and 7 crew). No one survived. The flight disappeared from radar 23 minutes after take-off.tracking of the A321 onboard by indicates that the flight was at 31,000 feet before a rapid descent.
Newer reports say it broke up in midair, and that ISIL has claimed that it brought down the aircraft. Russian investigators later determined that the aircraft had been destroyed by a terrorist bomb. The crash is the deadliest aviation incident involving an Airbus A321, and the deadliest involving any aircraft from the A320 family. On 2 February 2016, an Airbus A321-111 flying from to, 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.
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. On 8 December 2017, Airbus A321-231 A7-AIB of was damaged beyond economic repair by a fire at, Qatar. On 29 November 2018, Flight 356, an Airbus A321-271N (VN-A653), lost both wheels of its nosegear in a hard landing at, after a flight from.

There were no fatalities, but 23 people were hospitalized.References.
