At least 62 passengers and crew have died after a FlyDubai plane
crashed during an attempted landing in the Russian city of
Rostov-on-Don, Russian officials said.
A Russian investigative committee confirmed in a statement that all
the people on board the plane, travelling from Dubai, were killed in the
crash on Saturday morning.
"The aircraft hit the ground and broke into pieces," the committee
said on its website. "According to preliminary data, there were 55
passengers aboard and seven crew members. They all died."
In a statement published on Twitter, the Dubai Media Office said 44
of the passengers were Russian, eight were Ukrainian, two were Indian
and one was from Uzbekistan.
The plane was believed to be a Boeing 737 operated by Emirati airline
FlyDubai, a budget airline with a new fleet of planes that started
flying in mid-2009.
