MOSCOW — An airliner carrying 61 people from Dubai crashed early Saturday while landing in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don in strong winds, killing all aboard, Russian officials said.
All 55 passengers and six crew members died, Igor Oder, head of the Emergencies Ministry’s southern regional operations, said in a televised briefing.
The Boeing 737-800 belonged to the budget carrier FlyDubai.
In a statement, the airline confirmed that Flight 981 crashed on landing, and it said there were fatalities.

The state news agency Tass said weather data from the area indicated that winds at the time of the crash were 30 to 50 miles per hour and that there was light rain.
Ian Petchenik, a spokesman for the flight-tracking website Flightradar24, told The Associated Press that the plane missed its approach, then entered a holding pattern and tried to land again before contact was lost.
FlyDubai is a budget airline started in 2008 by the government of Dubai, the gulf commercial hub that is part of the seven-state United Arab Emirates federation. Its first flight took to the skies in 2009.
It shares a chairman with Dubai’s government-backed Emirates, the Middle East’s biggest airline, though the two carriers operate independently and maintain separate operations from their bases at Dubai International Airport, the region’s busiest airport.
FlyDubai’s fleet is dominated by relatively young 737-800 aircraft, the same model as the one that crashed. The airline says it operates more than 1,400 flights a week
