Rostov airport reopens after deadly crash
THE airport in the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don reopened yesterday, two days after a passenger jet crashed there, killing all 62 on board, as investigators continued their probe into the disaster.
The flydubai Boeing 737, which took off from Dubai, exploded into a fireball on Saturday after missing the runway in southern Russia while making a second attempt to land in heavy wind and rain.
“The airport is now fully functional,” an airport representative said.
On Sunday, officials said workers finished clearing the runway of debris, which investigators said had been scattered up to 1.5 kilometers away from the crash site.
Outbound flights resumed yesterday, but incoming flights to the city of 1 million people were still either cancelled or delayed.
Investigators have launched a criminal probe into whether poor weather, a pilot error or a technical fault were behind the crash, which killed all 55 passengers and seven crew members on board. The plane’s two black boxes were recovered from the crash site but were “badly damaged”, the intergovernmental aviation committee said.
