The U.S. Coast Guard is searching for a missing Boston-bound medical transfer plane off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts, that had six people on board, officials said early Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Gulfstream G-100 aircraft departed L.F. Wade International Airport in Bermuda and was traveling to Boston’s Logan International Airport.<\/p>\n

A Massport spokesperson confirmed that the aircraft did not arrive at Logan Airport as scheduled.<\/p>\n

“Our thoughts are with those on board and their loved ones as the search continues,” the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

In a statement from Skyport, the company who manages Wade International Airport, a spokesperson said that the aircraft was a Canadian-registered air ambulance that left their airport for Boston at 12:41 a.m. on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The company said there were four crew members and two passengers on board.<\/p>\n

“The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has advised that air traffic controllers subsequently lost contact with the aircraft off the coast of Nantucket Island, Massachusetts, and a search is currently underway,” the spokesperson said. “Skyport has no further information to provide at this time.”<\/p>\n

The Federal Aviation Administration said it issued a search and rescue alert for the plane at 1:20 a.m. <\/p>\n

The FAA notified the U.S. Coast Guard that it lost contact with the plane, which is registered to Canadian-based Latitude Air Ambulance. The company confirmed that the missing plane is among its fleet. <\/p>\n

The Coast Guard’s response includes crews from Air Station Cape Cod, a 47-foot motor lifeboat crew from Station Brant Point and the USCGC William Sparling — a fast response cutter.<\/p>\n

WCVB will have more information when it becomes available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Medical transport plane with 6 on board missing off Nantucket Senior Digital Editor\/Producer, WCVB.com NANTUCKET, Mass. \u2014 The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":869504,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[110368,366560,18290,8731,366561,4,450,366559,45796,33718,366562,451,955,366558,12607,3,3590,22204,115802,452,453,10127,28123],"class_list":["post-869503","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-bermuda","tag-bermuda-early-saturday-morning","tag-board","tag-boston","tag-boston-bound-plane-saturday-morning","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-coast-guard-search","tag-contact","tag-federal-aviation-administration","tag-gulfstream-aircraft","tag-headlines","tag-medical","tag-missing-plane","tag-nantucket","tag-news","tag-people","tag-plane","tag-social-medium-post","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories","tag-transport","tag-wcvb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/869503","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=869503"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/869503\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/869504"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=869503"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=869503"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=869503"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
