Rescue teams continue search for crew
The Pakistan Airports Authority said naval ships and aircraft remain deployed in the area to support ongoing rescue and recovery operations.
Search teams are continuing efforts to locate the five crew members who were on board the aircraft. At the same time, investigators are collecting evidence that could help determine the cause of the crash.
Aircraft disappeared during flight from Sharjah
The cargo aircraft was operating as Flight TA1732 from Sharjah when it disappeared during its journey to Karachi.
According to earlier flight tracking data, the Boeing 737 was cruising normally at an altitude of 35,000 feet. It was also travelling at a speed of approximately 790 kilometres per hour before the incident occurred.
However, the aircraft suddenly made a sharp U-turn before entering a rapid descent under unexplained circumstances.
Aircraft lost contact before disappearing
The Pakistan Airports Authority had earlier confirmed that the privately operated cargo aircraft lost contact with air traffic control approximately 155 nautical miles west of Karachi.
Shortly after communication was lost, the aircraft disappeared from radar, prompting authorities to launch an immediate search and rescue operation.
Following the overnight operation, the Pakistan Navy and the Pakistan Maritime Security Agency successfully located the wreckage in the Arabian Sea.
Authorities have not yet confirmed the cause of the crash, while rescue, recovery, and investigation efforts remain underway.
