Russian airport reopens after deadly plane crash
March 21, 2016
The airport in the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don reopened today, 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 was quoted as saying by AFP.
