Summary
A Gulfstream G100 medical transfer plane carrying six people lost contact around 2 a.m. Saturday and remained missing off Nantucket, prompting a U.S. Coast Guard search.
The FAA alerted the Coast Guard after losing contact with the aircraft, which was flying from Bermuda to Boston.
Coast Guard crews were searching with planes, a helicopter and boats in waters off Nantucket.
Latitude Air Ambulance confirmed the aircraft was missing and said it had contacted rescue and law-enforcement agencies, but it was still unclear whether the six aboard were crew, patients or companions.
Latitude says it operates 10 aircraft, including four Gulfstream G100s, for medical evacuation and repatriation flights equipped with I.C.U. supplies.
