Final cockpit audio from doomed K2 Airways flight emerges
Released air traffic control audio captures the last moments of a K2 Airways Boeing 737 freighter crew. They reported a navigation system malfunction before abrupt maneuvers, rapid descent, and loss of contact.
The final cockpit communication from the ill-fated K2 Airways cargo flight has surfaced, offering a glimpse into the crew's final moments before the aircraft crashed into the Arabian Sea.
According to the released air traffic control audio, the pilots reported experiencing a navigation system malfunction shortly before contact with the aircraft was lost.
In the transmission, the crew calmly informed controllers of the technical issue and sought navigational assistance as the aircraft began deviating from its planned route.
Within minutes of the distress call, radar data showed the aircraft making abrupt heading changes before entering a rapid descent. Air traffic controllers repeatedly attempted to re-establish contact but received no further response.
The Boeing 737 freighter, operating from Sharjah to Karachi with five crew members on board, crashed into the Arabian Sea earlier this week. Search and recovery efforts remain under way as investigators continue examining the cause of the accident, with the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder expected to play a key role in the investigation.
