Families of those killed in the recent Pakistan cargo plane crash are calling for international assistance to help recover the aircraft’s flight recorders, saying the operation is crucial to determining the cause of the disaster.
Relatives of the victims have urged Pakistani authorities to seek additional technical support after efforts to locate the aircraft’s cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and flight data recorder (FDR) commonly known as the black boxes have faced significant challenges. The aircraft crashed into the Arabian Sea, complicating recovery efforts due to difficult underwater conditions.
Officials leading the investigation said naval vessels, divers and specialist recovery teams remain at the crash site, where search operations are continuing. Authorities believe the black boxes hold critical information that could reveal the sequence of events leading to the accident, including the aircraft’s performance, communications between the pilots and air traffic controllers, and any mechanical failures.
Pakistan’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said it is coordinating with international aviation experts and accident investigators to ensure the inquiry meets global standards. The agency added that recovering the recorders remains a top priority before a preliminary report can be completed.
The cargo aircraft went down shortly after departure, killing everyone on board. While investigators have not ruled out any possible causes, officials cautioned against speculation until evidence from the wreckage and flight recorders has been fully analysed.
Aviation experts note that recovering black boxes from underwater crash sites is often a complex process that can take days or even weeks, depending on weather conditions, water depth and the location of the wreckage.
The investigation is expected to continue as authorities work to establish the cause of the crash and determine whether changes to aviation safety procedures may be necessary to prevent similar accidents in the future.
