Regional aviation and emergency authorities continue search-and-rescue efforts after a small aircraft disappears over the southern Caribbean Sea while flying from St Vincent and the Grenadines to Tobago. The Dominican Republic-registered Beech 58P Pressurised Baron (registration HI-1145) departs Argyle International Airport in St Vincent on Friday at 11:52 am, en route to ANR Robinson International Airport in Tobago. Authorities say air traffic controllers lose contact with the aircraft during the flight, prompting a regional search involving aviation and emergency officials across several Caribbean territories, including Trinidad and Tobago. Flight tracking information indicates the plane operated under visual flight rules (VFR) at about 4,025 feet and around 142 knots before its signal stops. The last recorded position is reported to be over the southern Caribbean Sea, near areas associated with Grenadian or Venezuelan territorial waters. As of Sunday, officials have not confirmed whether the aircraft crashed and no wreckage has been located. It is not publicly confirmed how many people are on board or their identities. The aircraft is capable of carrying a pilot and up to five passengers. Sources also note the disappearance is the second such incident on a similar route in recent years, with an earlier unresolved case in December 2023.
