Medical Plane Missing Off Massachusetts

Federal aviation officials lost contact with a Gulfstream G100 medical transport plane early Saturday. The aircraft was flying from Bermuda to Boston with six people aboard, prompting a U.S. Coast Guard search south of Nantucket. The plane was operated by Latitude Air Ambulance, which provides medical evacuation and repatriation flights. Officials said those aboard were four crew members and two passengers. It was not immediately clear who they were or whether a patient was on board. Latitude said it had activated an emergency response plan and that a delayed crew report does not necessarily mean the worst. Authorities said the search was ongoing, with no wreckage confirmed.
