US aircraft company Boeing has offered technical assistance to Pakistan for the investigation into the plane crash near the Islamabad airport that killed 127 people on Friday.
In a condolence message, the company expressed sympathy with the bereaved families and said it was ready to help Pakistan’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) in probing the accident.
The assistance will be provided through the US National Transportation Safety Board.
The Bhoja Airlines flight with 118 passengers and nine crew members crashed on Friday, minutes before it was to land at the Benazir Bhutto International Airport at 7 pm, apparently due to bad weather.
The plane had taken off on its maiden flight from Karachi at 5 pm.
