In the incident, which took place in Russia, 23 passengers were injured, who had noticed that the plane had landed on extinct engines, emergency officials said.
The Ural Airlines company's plane, model Airbas 321, was expected to arrive in Crime, when it met a flock of birds who damaged the engine.
In this case the damage has suffered an airplane, which will no longer be able to fly, the airline announced.
The plane landed on the cornfield about a quarter mile away from the floor of Zukovski International Airport.
Passengers are urgently evacuated from the plane. Some of them were transported to the hospital until the others were sent to the airport.
Five children who have suffered injuries have been sent to the hospital, the Russian Health Ministry reported.
Official investigations into the case have already begun, Kosovo Press broadcasts.
Bird and airplane clashes are frequent, and thousands of such incidents occur in the United States each year. However, they rarely end up with disasters or damage to airplanes.
