The US Coast Guard is searching for an air ambulance jet with six people onboard that lost contact with the Federal Aviation Administration during a flight from Bermuda to Boston early Saturday morning, according to The Guardian.
The plane, a Gulfstream G-100, was undertaking a medical evacuation when it lost contact with air traffic authorities. An FAA spokesperson told The Guardian that the agency issued a search-and-rescue alert notice for the aircraft at about 1:20am local time on Saturday.
Search efforts underway
The Coast Guard's search is focused on the waters off the Massachusetts coast, along the aircraft's intended flight path between Bermuda and Boston. No further details on the identities of those onboard or the medical nature of the evacuation have been released.
Authorities have not yet provided an update on the status of the search or any debris or signals that might indicate the aircraft's location. Further information is expected as search-and-rescue operations continue.
