Southeast Asia’s Fragmented Environmental Governance Civilian and navy searchers off Pakistan’s coast on Wednesday located and recovered wreckage of a cargo plane that disappeared while approaching the southern port of Karachi, and a search continues for five missing crew members, officials said.
The aircraft operated by the private carrier K2 Airways had departed from Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates and reported a navigational system problem before losing contact with air traffic control late on Tuesday.
The Pakistani navy and civilian teams in planes and ships found the wreckage after about 12 hours of searching in the Arabian Sea, Pakistan’s Airports Authority said in a post on social media. The search continued for five missing people who were aboard the aircraft.
Three officials familiar with the search operation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the incident, said the vast search area in the Arabian Sea and rough monsoon seas were posing significant challenges to the search-and-rescue operation.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed sympathy with the families of the five crew members, according to a statement from his office, and directed the government to deploy all available resources for the search effort.
