ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan’s Navy and civilian authorities on Wednesday expanded the search for a cargo plane feared to have crashed after it disappeared from radar and lost contact with air traffic control en route to the southern port city of Karachi.
Officials said the Karachi-bound aircraft, operated by the private carrier K2 Airways, reported a navigational system issue while flying from Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates with five people on board. The search is still ongoing, according to three officials familiar with the rescue operation.
