"We started accelerating and the plane moved towards the right, outside," Artis Ābols, head coach of the club told Russia's RIAN.
"The temperatures are above zero, it's raining and it seems there was no ice on the runway. Preliminary information suggests that one of the engines did not accelerate to the necessary speed so the plane skidded," said Ābols.
