A medical evacuation plane carrying six people goes missing while flying from Bermuda to Boston. The US Coast Guard launches a search after the aircraft does not arrive at its destination, with efforts focused off the coast near Nantucket, Massachusetts.
The plane is operated by Latitude Air Ambulance, a Canada-based company. According to the company’s flight operations director, the aircraft is a Gulfstream G100 and goes missing around 1:30 am local time (reported as 1530 GMT). The person contacted by AFP says the flight has two pilots, two medical staff, one patient and a family member, though other outlets report details as typically staffing a nurse and a respiratory therapist.
Outlets also reference flight-activity information, including reports of a sharp altitude change and a final contact or “ping” shortly before the scheduled landing. While the Coast Guard and operator confirm the search and basic onboard count, no source provides confirmed details on the current status or location of the aircraft beyond the ongoing search area near Nantucket.
