Authorities have recovered wreckage from K2 Airways Cargo 737 AP-BOI approximately 53 nautical miles south of Ormara after the aircraft crashed into the Arabian Sea on 7 July. KTA1732 was en route from Sharjah to Karachi when contact was lost with the aircraft. Preliminary ADS-B data indicate a loss of altitude, followed by a climb, and then a second, sudden and dramatic loss of altitude. The final received data point from the aircraft was at 16:21 UTC, placing the aircraft at 1,100 ft AMSL with a reported vertical rate of -22,400 feet per minute.
This is a developing story and will be updated as we learn more.
