Russia's emergencies ministry said all 62 people aboard the aircraft flying from Dubai to southern Russia were killed. Preliminary data showed there were 55 passengers aboard and 7 crew members.
Zhanna Terekohova, an adviser to the Russian transport minister, said bad weather - strong, gusting wind in the Rostov area - was the primary line of investigation for the crash. The plane came down inside the airport's perimeter, about 250 meters short of the start of the runway.
A representative of Rostov's emergency ministry said at a briefing that flight recorders have not yet been recovered.

Vietnamese President Truong Tan Sang sent a message of condolences on Saturday to Russian President Vladimir Putin over the crash of the aircraft of the Dubai-based carrier Flydubai.
