On 15 August 2019, Ural Airlines Flight 178, a scheduled passenger flight from Moscow to Simferopol, suffered engine damage and made a forced landing in a cornfield after takeoff from Zhukovsky International Airport. The aircraft, an Airbus A321-211 with 226 passengers and 7 crew members, was taking off from Runway 12 when it struck several birds during rotation, causing damage to the engines. Due to the resulting loss of thrust and improper actions by the flight crew, the A321 failed to gain sufficient airspeed and altitude to climb safely. The aircraft belly landed and slid across a cornfield before stopping with substantial damage. All 233 occupants survived the accident, although 28 suffered injuries, 3 of them serious.
