A cargo plane carrying five passengers disappeared from radar off the coast of Pakistan whilst travelling from Sharjah to Karachi.

Flight data indicated a loss of altitude, a high rate of descent, followed by a climb and then a second sudden drop, suggesting a sea crash.
K2 Airways, headquartered in Karachi, is a private cargo airline established in May 2018 under a Government of Pakistan charter licence.
