Moscow: Pilots and other crew members of a Russian airliner were injured as it crash-landed near Moscow's Domodedovo international airport early Monday.
Eight crew members were onboard the Tupolev Tu-204 aircraft en route from the Egyptian resort of Hurghada, when it apparently made a belly landing, Russian state TV reported.
Rescue teams have evacuated the entire eight-member crew.
The plane belonging to charter airlines 'Aviastar Tu' was on a technical flight from the Egyptian resort without any passengers when it went off radars approximately one kilometre from the runway.
Limited visibility was said to be the cause of the accident.
