The Civil Aviation Authority handed over four sealed K2 Airways offices at Karachi Airport to the Bureau of Air Safety Investigation as the K2 Airways crash probe moved into its records review phase.
Officials said investigators will examine the airline’s operational documents, aircraft maintenance logs, flight records, and related paperwork. An initial report based on records already taken into custody has been sent to the Ministry of Defence.
The CAA sealed the four offices after reports emerged late last night that a K2 Airways cargo aircraft had gone missing. The airline has five offices on the third floor of the Karachi Airport terminal building.
