A private jet has gone missing while travelling to Boston from Bermuda with six people on board, the US coast guard says.
The Federal Aviation Administration notified the coast guard early on Saturday that it had lost contact with the plane, a Gulfstream jet used as a medical transfer aircraft, a coast guard spokesperson said by email.
The coast guard said it has dispatched air and surface crews to search for the plane near Nantucket, an affluent island community south of mainland Massachusetts.
Weather conditions in Nantucket were clear as of Saturday morning according to Accuweather.
The aircraft had taken off from Bermuda’s LF Wade International Airport for a nearly two-hour, late-night flight to Boston Logan International Airport, according to FlightAware.
