Summary
AP-BOI vanished from radar off Pakistan's Karachi coast about 80 minutes into a two-hour cargo flight from the UAE, with five crew members aboard.
The aircraft was a Boeing 737 freighter operating for K2 Airways, and earlier reports said the crew had flagged a navigation system problem before radar showed a rapid descent.
Wreckage was later found 53 miles south of Ormara, but no crew members were located as Pakistan's navy and air force continued search operations.
The loss is especially significant for K2 Airways because the 27-year-old 737-400 freighter was the carrier's only aircraft.
