Both Airbus A300 aircraft were destroyed during heavy ground battles at the International Airport of Tripolis, when rebels attacked Gaddafi Loyalist Forces. The A320 was hit by shelling (prob. RPG) in the lower  fuselage (center wing box area) resulting in a fire which was eventually contained before the flames could spread. All aircraft have been parked inactive at the time.

There were also reports about other damaged aircraft at around the airport but still there is no confirmation about it. As well unconfirmed is a susbtantial damage to another Afriqiyah Airbus A330 (5A-ONH) which received massive gunshot damage around the entire fuselage.

The A330 was accelerating down runway 23 at high speed (excess of 100 kts) when tower controller ordered the pilots to stop because of conflicting traffic on the runway ahead. The take-off was safely abandoned without any damage to the aircraft. The conflict was a private home built single engine aircraft, which has just landed before of the A330s departure and was mistakenly taxiing to the active runway when ATC was forced to intervene. The aircraft - known as "Sling 4" was on a round-the-world journey from South Africa with its two pilots unfamiliar with the Taoyuan Airport.

Both aircraft were involved in a serious safety breach incident when the Boeing 777 crew was forced to divert from Shanghai-Pudong Airport to neighboring Hongqiao Airport after a longer holding time due to bad weather conditions. The Qatar crew later was forced to transmit an emergency message because of a low fuel state prompting the air traffic controller to give the flight priority for landing. However, the pilot of the Juneyao flight - who were ahead on the landing approach to Hongqiao - refused to give way to make room for the emergency forcing the Qatar crew to prolong their approach. The pilot ignored six ATC instructions arguing to have a low fuel situation as well. Both aircraft safely landed at Hoongqiao. Later investigations revealed the Juneyao pilot (a South Korean) had fuel reserves to stay airborne for another 42 minutes while the 777 only got fuel for 18 minutes when it landed. The Juneyao flight crew was suspended from duty and is facing further legal punishment. The chinese authority CAAC imposed restrictions on Juneyao Airlines, ordered the to stop any further recruitment of pilots as well as to reduce their capacity by 10 %.

The aircraft went missing on a routine cargo flight after about one hour into flight when the crew reported a fuel leak and an engine fire. The pilots then expressed their intention to return to Magadan. The An-12 was found crashed in rugged, mountainous northwest of the town of Omsukchan. There were no survivors. Due to the inaccessability of the crash site by ground, vehicles were only able to reach the site the following day. Bad weather and low visibility also delayed search and rescue operations. The aircraft was carrying 17 tons of food supplies. The flight made a refuelling stop at Magadan. Initial finding from the wracke examination, apparently supported the theory the aircraft may have suffered an inflight fuel leak which my have lead to an explosion. The last major overhaul for the aircraft was carried ot only 2 weeks before the crash in a facility at at Rostov. 
On Aug.10 according to an instruction by the Russian Transport Agency Rostransnadzor, all An-12 aircraft were subject of a countrywide ban. The Agency further states that Avis-Amur Airline has been issued a warning about safety shortcomings in may 2011.
NOTE: For Russia this accident marks the 6th hull loss event in the current year.

On landing in bad weather conditions, the An-24 ran off the side of runway 36. After travelling over downsloping terrain for about 200 meters, the aircraft came to a stop minus its undercarriage. The left wing broke off after tree impact. The majority of passengers were able to escape without serious injury. At the time of the landing the airport weather consisted of rain thunderstorm activity and gusty winds. The only available runway at Blagoveshchensk is 3120 meters in lengh. The aircraft was acquired in May 2011 from Air Urga (Ukraine). On Aug. 17th, the russian authority Rostransnadzor suspended the operating  certificate of the airline after another An-24 left paved runway on take-off at Chita.
