On 12 May 2022, an Airbus A319 about to become airborne at Chongqing veered off the side of the runway at high speed following an inadvertent and unintended rudder input by the non-flying pilot when distracted by unexpected movement of a loose object. Continuation over rough ground across an open ditch resulted in detachment of both engines and both main landing gear assemblies and a resulting fire, which impeded the emergency evacuation. The severe fire and impact damage to the aircraft rendered it a hull loss but the evacuation was completed with only a few minor injuries.
