Summary
Five crew members aboard the missing K2 Airways Boeing 737-400 freighter were identified as Pakistani authorities pressed a search off the coast, with no survivors reported.
Wreckage was recovered Wednesday about 53 miles south of Ormara after roughly 12 hours of searching by military and civilian planes and ships, and recovery efforts continued into Thursday.
The cargo jet vanished around 9:21 p.m. Tuesday while flying from Sharjah to Karachi after reporting a navigation system problem; radar data showed a rapid descent before it disappeared 155 nautical miles west of Karachi.
The aircraft was K2 Airways' only plane — a roughly 27-year-old 737-400 freighter — underscoring the blow to the small carrier founded in 2018.
