    Russia's southern Krasnodar Territory Governor Alexander Tkachev
    ruled out the guilt of airport personnel in the crash of the Armenian
    Airbus-320 passenger plane off Sochi on May 3.

    "The runways are long enough for a safe landing," he said on Wednesday.

    At the same time, he said an additional runway is under construction
    and the others will be lengthened shortly.

    Of 113 people who were abroad the plane, 51 bodies have been found
    so far.

    The Airbus A-320 of the Armenian airline Armavia plunged into the
    Black Sea as it was making a landing manoeuvre in the early hours of
    May 3. The accident claimed the lives of 113 people.
