A Boeing 737-400 freighter has crashed in the Indian Ocean, just past the Gulf of Oman, after taking off from the UAE.
The K2 Airways Pakistan, cargo plane (AP-BOI) was reportedly en route to Karachi, #Pakistan
I will be blunt here. This is a Search and Recovery Mission, not a Search and Rescue Mission.
K2 Airways flight KTA1732, a Boeing 737-4M0(BDSF) freighter registered AP-BOI, operating Sharjah to Karachi with five crew on board, entered a terminal descent profile over the Arabian Sea approximately 155 nautical miles west of Karachi at 16:21 UTC on 07 July 2026. The final SSR and ADS-B data point captured the aircraft at 1,100 feet AMSL with a vertical rate of minus 22,400 feet per minute. That figure is not survivable.
Preliminary tracking indicates an initial loss of altitude, a brief recovery climb, and then a second and catastrophic loss of altitude consistent with a nose down departure from controlled flight. The crew had earlier reported navigation difficulties, and the sector traversed a documented GNSS interference environment shortly after departure from Sharjah.
Any aircraft impacting the sea surface at that rate of descent is transformed into debris on contact. The likelihood of intact fuselage sections is remote, and the recovery operation will now focus on locating the wreckage field, retrieving the flight recorders, and preserving any surface debris for the accident investigation authority.
My thoughts are with the five crew members and their families. The Pakistan aviation community will feel this deeply.
🇪🇨🇲🇽‼️| Luego de la eliminación de la Copa del Mundo ante México, las versiones que surgen desde Ecuador son impactantes porque el seleccionado habría recibido amenazas. El periodista Carlos Vera reveló: “Hay factores que se irán detectando con el tiempo y jugaron en la mente de los jugadores para que jueguen así. Eligieron preservar su vida. ¿Los amenazó la mafia? Yo sé que a uno de ellos que vive en México, si. Los demás no sé, pero solo así puedo explicar el desgano. Hubo factores desconocidos que se expresaron en el campo. No quiero ir más allá porque quiero cuidar mi vida”.
