Last known moments of K2 Airways Boeing 737 before it went missing near Karachi

A Pakistan-registered Boeing 737 cargo plane disappeared near Karachi after losing contact with air traffic control on Tuesday night. The aircraft, operated by K2 Airways, experienced a sudden loss of communication and rapidly descended before vanishing from radar. Flightradar24 data showed the plane plummeted over 5,000 feet in under a minute, then surged back before diving sharply. The cause remains unknown, though experts noted that engine failure typically results in continued gliding rather than abrupt descent. Search and rescue operations are ongoing, involving multiple agencies. K2 Airways confirmed the five crew members onboard and stated they are cooperating with authorities. The aircraft, a decade-old Boeing 737-400 converted to freight in 2012, is the sole operational plane for the airline.
