Pakistani passenger plane crashes near Karachi, with 107 on board
A passenger plane with 107 people on board crashed in a crowded neighborhood on the edge of the international airport near Pakistan’s southern port city of Karachi on Friday after what appeared to be an engine failure during landing.
He said all those on board died, but two civil aviation officials later said that at least two people survived. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief media. A transmission of the pilot’s final exchange with air traffic control, posted on the website LiveATC.net, indicated he had failed to land and was circling around to make another attempt.“Confirm your attempt on belly,” the air traffic controller said, offering a runway.“Sir — mayday, mayday, mayday, mayday Pakistan 8303,” the pilot said before the transmission ended.
Pakistan had resumed domestic flights earlier this week ahead of the Eid-al Fitr holiday marking the end of the Islamic fasting month of Ramadan. Pakistan has been in a countrywide lockdown since mid-March to try to stem the spread of the coronavirus.Airworthiness documents showed that the plane last received a government check on Nov. 1.
