On October 17, 2001, PIA Airbus A300 aircraft registration AP-BCJ was performing airline's flight PK231 on Islamabad-Peshawar-Dubai route. The right main landing gear of AP-BCJ collapsed soon after landing at Dubai Airport. All 11 crew members and 193 passengers remained safe in this accident. The Airbus sustained damage to its right wing structure and its engine number 2, which partly broke off the wing. Due to the serious nature of damage and old age of AP-BCJ (manufactured in 1983) it was considered un-economical to repair it. The Airbus was declared a write-off and withdrawn from use by PIA
