The flydubai Boeing 737 jet crashed at the Rostov-on-Don airport after traveling from Dubai.
All those on board died, authorities said.
Officials believe bad weather, which kept the plane from reattempting landing for more than two hours, likely caused the crash. They ruled out terrorism as a possibility.
Russia’s investigation into the crash will take about two months, investigative committee spokeswoman Oksana Kovrizhnaya said, as reported by state-run Sputnik News.
“But [the investigation] could be prolonged because of the inspections’ duration,” Kovrizhnaya added. He said the three potential causes being considered are technical issues, severe weather and human error.
According to Emergencies Minister Vladimir Puchkov,the plane was carrying 55 passengers and seven crew members when it crashed.
