Russian authorities have banned the carrier Aviastar-Tu from transporting passengers as an inquiry opens into the crash of a Tupolev Tu-204 on move toward to Moscow Domodedovo.
Recovery personnel have retried the flight recorders from the twin-jet, which came down about 1km from the airstrip, while attempting to land at nighttime in fog and poor visibility.

But in the interim it has banned Aviastar-Tu, with instant effect, from conducting passenger transport, and an assessment of the airline is to be carried out.
The accident has attracted exacting concern because the same aircraft, while operating a Moscow Domodedovo-Hurghada charter service yesterday with 210 passengers, return to
Rosaviatsia says that the difficulty was traced to an electrical heater malfunction, which was resolved and the plane was subsequently cleared for flight.
