THE first pictures have emerged of the Flydubai 737 aircraft that crashed just short of the runway in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don.
The United Arab Emirates based budget carrier has confirmed all 62 people on board the plane perished after the Boeing 737-800 went down close to the city’s airport in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The images show debris scattered on a wet runway with Russian emergency crews nearby.
Flydubai flight FZ981 had travelled from Dubai in the UAE to Rostov-on-Don, with 55 passengers and seven crew members aboard. Eighteen men, 33 women and four children were travelling on the plane, the airline confirmed.
The CEO of Flydubai, Ghaith Al Ghaith, said on Saturday the airline was in “deep shock” over the incident. The carrier has offered no preliminary cause for the crash.
Both of the plane’s flight recorders have been recovered undamaged, the Investigative Committee of Russia said in a statement.
