Ghulam Sarwar Khan, the federal minister for the Aviation Division, said that the full results of the inquiry would be made available within three months. A preliminary investigation report, published by the CAA, was reported to have said that the engines had scraped the runway three times on the pilot's first attempt to land, causing friction and sparks. The contacts with the runway may have caused possible damage to the engines' oil tank and fuel pump.

The pilot had 18,000 flight hours. The Economic Times reported that the pilot had ignored warnings from air traffic control about the height and speed of the aircraft on approach. At 2:30 pm the plane was 15 nautical miles from Karachi, at Makli, flying at an altitude of 10,000 feet instead of 7,000 feet, when ATC issued its first warning to reduce altitude. Instead of descending, the pilot responded by saying that he was satisfied. When only 10 nautical miles from the airport, the aircraft was at an altitude of 7,000 feet instead of 3,000 feet. ATC issued a second warning to descend. The pilot responded again by stating that he was satisfied and would handle the situation, saying he was ready for landing.
