The US Coast Guard launched a search for a Gulfstream G-100 air ambulance carrying six people that lost contact with the Federal Aviation Administration early Saturday morning during a flight from Bermuda to Boston.
The FAA issued a search-and-rescue alert notice for the jet at approximately 1:20am local time on Saturday, according to an FAA spokesperson quoted by The Guardian. The aircraft was conducting a medical evacuation from Bermuda when it went out of contact.
The search operation involves Coast Guard assets responding to the missing aircraft off the Massachusetts coast. No additional details about the status of the search, the identities of those onboard, the medical condition of the patient being evacuated, or the circumstances leading to the loss of contact have been provided in available reporting.
