K2 Airways Cargo 737 crashes into Arabian Sea | Flightradar24 Blog

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.

Shortly after takeoff the aircraft, all others in the region, experienced GNSS interference, resulting in the degraded data near Sharjah and transition to MLAT tracking by Flightradar24. Once the the aircraft exited the area subject to GNSS interference, ADS-B data was once again received by Flightradar24.
