Families demand transparency after K2 Airways Ormara crash

The families of the crew members who lost their lives in the K2 Airways Flight 1732 crash near Ormara have demanded

The families of the crew members who lost their lives in the K2 Airways Flight 1732 crash near Ormara have demanded answers from the airline and the government, saying they have been left in the dark since the tragedy occurred.

In a joint statement, relatives of the captain, co-pilot, flight engineers, and loadmaster said the airline has not contacted them or provided any official information about the crash. They said no representative of the company has reached out to offer support or explain what happened in the days following the accident.

The grieving families described the airline’s silence as deeply disappointing. They said the lack of communication has increased their pain and raised concerns that important facts about the crash may be hidden from the public.

According to the families, while people across Pakistan have expressed sympathy and solidarity with them, the airline has remained completely unresponsive. They believe the company has failed in its responsibility to keep the victims’ families informed during such a difficult time.

The relatives have appealed to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to personally intervene and ensure that the investigation is conducted fairly and transparently. They urged the government to take immediate steps to uncover the cause of the crash and provide justice for those who lost their lives.

One of their key demands is the continuation of search and recovery operations in the deep waters of the Arabian Sea. They called on the government to use advanced underwater technology and specialized recovery equipment to locate the wreckage, recover the remains of the crew members, and retrieve the aircraft’s black boxes.

The families also requested assistance from friendly countries if Pakistan requires additional technical expertise or equipment to complete the deep-sea recovery mission. They said recovering the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder is essential to determine what caused the aircraft to crash.

They further demanded an independent and transparent investigation into every aspect of the accident. The inquiry, they said, should examine the airline’s management, maintenance records, operational procedures, aircraft condition, and all technical and administrative factors that may have contributed to the tragedy.

The families insisted that if investigators find evidence of negligence, misconduct, or violations of aviation safety standards, those responsible must face strict legal action. They said accountability should extend to senior airline officials, including the chief executive officer, if any failures are proven.
