Update: Preliminary ADS-B data indicates a drop in altitude 2120 Hrs. local time, followed by a climb, then a sharp drop in altitude, before disappearing from radar entirely.
- The K2 Airways Boeing 737-400, flight KTA1732, registration AP-BOI, was on a ferry flight to Karachi with five crew members, from Sharjah (SHJ) after maintenance.
- At 9:18 PM local time, while flying along air route G216 approximately 150 nautical miles south of Karachi, the crew reported a navigation system fault and requested heading guidance.
- The aircraft was instructed to maintain its current course. Shortly after, it was observed turning right and descending rapidly, losing altitude at a rate of roughly 15,000 feet per minute.
- Repeated attempts to reestablish contact did not bring any success, and at 9:21 PM, approximately 155 nautical miles west of Karachi, the aircraft disappeared from radar with simultaneous loss of both radar and communication contact.
- A multi-agency search and rescue operation is currently underway at sea.
- The 27 years old B737-4M0BDSF aircraft (ex-ASL Airlines Belgium) is being powered by CFM56-3C1 engines, and was delivered to Aeroflot on 27 April 1999.
