Airblue Flight 202 was a scheduled domestic passenger flight which crashed on 28 July, 2010 near Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, killing all 146 passengers and six crew aboard. It is the worst air accident to occur in Pakistan to date. The aircraft, an Airblue operated Airbus A321-231 narrow-body jet airliner, crashed in the Margalla Hills north of Islamabad during a flight from Karachi's Jinnah International Airport to Benazir Bhutto International Airport. Air traffic controllers reportedly lost contact with the flight crew during its attempt to land in dense fog and heavy monsoon rain.

The plane was found near Daman-e-Koh viewing point in the Margalla Hills outside Islamabad. The Los Angeles Times reported that "television footage of the crash site showed smoke and burning debris strewn in a swathe cutting through the forest. Rescue helicopters hovered overhead. Fire was visible, and smoke was blowing up from the scene."
Early reports in the morning had stated that there were over 40 injured survivors, later revised at around midday to around five to six people having been rescued, before Interior Minister Rehman Malik confirmed in the afternoon that there were in fact no survivors. Pakistani footballer Misha Dawood, of Diya Football Club, Karachi and former national athlete Zafar Saleem, who was director-general of the Sindh Workers Welfare Board, were killed in the crash.
At the time of the accident, the pilot had 35 years and more than 25,000 hours of flying experience. Of the passengers, 110 were men, 29 were women, 5 were children, and 2 were infants. Six members of the Youth Parliament of Pakistan were on board as were three off duty air hostesses and four foreign nationals.
