Pakistan: Plane with 5 onboard loses contact off Karachi

A Boeing 737 cargo plane with five crew members aboard lost contact with air traffic control while flying from Sharjah, UAE, to Karachi, Pakistan. The aircraft reported a technical issue and was last seen over the Arabian Sea near Ormara in Balochistan. Radar data indicated a rapid descent, followed by a climb and then a sudden, steep drop. Flight tracking services noted the plane reached 1,100 feet above sea level with an extreme rate of descent. Rescue operations were initiated by Pakistani authorities, with the aircraft operator K2 Airways cooperating with civil aviation authorities. The plane, previously a passenger aircraft converted to cargo in 2012, is part of Boeing's 737 family but not the newer 737 Max model linked to previous safety concerns. This incident follows a fatal crash in Karachi in May 2020.
