Circumstances:
During the takeoff roll at Karachi-Quaid-e-Azam Airport, at a speed of 270-280 km/h, the pilot-in-command pulled up on the control column to start the rotation but the aircraft failed to respond.

All 117 occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
Probable cause:
It was determined that the crew failed to prepare the flight according to published procedures. The mass and balance sheet was incorrect. At the time of the accident, the total weight of the aircraft was six tons above MTOW and the CofG as too far forward.
