A Boeing 720 aircraft crashed while on approach to Cairo Airport, Egypt, resulting in the loss of 121 lives and the survival of 6. The flight, PK705, was an inaugural service from Karachi to London, UK, with intermediate stops in Dhahran, Cairo, Egypt, and Geneva, Switzerland. The flight was uneventful and cleared for a left-hand circuit at 23:45 UTC, immediately followed by a descent and ground contact. The aircraft’s uncontrolled descent was attributed to insufficient altitude maintained for the circuit, leading to a slight left-bank attitude and upward flap deployment.A Boeing 720 aircraft crashed while on approach to Cairo Airport, Egypt, resulting in the loss of 121 lives and the survival of 6.
