Pakistan searches for missing Boeing cargo plane over Arabian Sea

A commercial aircraft bound for Karachi lost contact with air‑traffic control after the crew reported a fault in its navigation system. The incident occurred while the flight was en route from its departure airport, and the last transmission was a brief message indicating the navigation malfunction. Air‑traffic controllers were unable to reestablish communication and the aircraft was subsequently listed as missing on the radar screen.

Investigators have begun a search and rescue operation in the area where the aircraft was last seen. The airline has released a statement confirming that the crew had reported the issue and that all passengers and crew were believed to be safe at the time of the last contact. Authorities are coordinating with the aircraft manufacturer and the aviation safety agency to determine the cause of the navigation fault and to assess whether it contributed to the loss of contact.

At this time, no casualties have been reported and the flight’s status remains uncertain. The investigation will continue as officials work to locate the aircraft and ascertain the circumstances that led to the communication loss.
