On March 19, 2016, during landing at Rostov-on-Don airport, a FlyDubai Boeing 737-800 (8KN) airliner, operating a regular passenger flight FZ-981 on the Dubai-Rostov-on-Don route, crashed. In difficult weather conditions, the crew made two attempts to land at Rostov-on-Don airport within two hours.
