Key Points:
- A K2 Airways Boeing 737 cargo plane with five crew members went missing Tuesday night while en route to Karachi, Pakistan, after departing Sharjah, UAE earlier that day.
- The crew reported a navigation system problem minutes before the aircraft rapidly descended and lost radar and radio contact about 155 nautical miles west of Karachi.
- Wreckage was found 53 miles south of Ormara, but no survivors have been located; search-and-rescue operations involving Pakistan Navy and Air Force are ongoing in the Arabian Sea.
- The aircraft was a 27-year-old Boeing 737-400 freighter and the only plane operated by K2 Airways, a cargo airline established in 2018 aiming to expand its fleet and operations.
- Aviation experts noted the unusual rapid descent, as planes typically glide after engine failure, raising questions about the cause of the abrupt crash.
