American media outlets are reporting, An air ambulance carrying six people has disappeared from radar off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts, triggering a search by the US Coast Guard. The aircraft was travelling from Bermuda to Boston Logan International Airport when contact with the Federal Aviation Administration was lost early Saturday, according to the US Coast Guard. Air and surface crews have been deployed to search the waters south of Nantucket.
The aircraft appears to be a Gulfstream G100 operated by Latitude Air Ambulance, a Hamilton, Ontario-based medical aviation company. Flight-tracking information identified the aircraft as operating the Bermuda-Boston route under the callsign HTT104. As per the latest inputs, the coast guard is searching for the jet off Nantucket. The plane was carrying out a medical evacuation in Bermuda, said Clarence Togeretz, Director of Flight Operations at Latitude Air Ambulance, which operates the plane.
The aircraft, a Gulfstream G100 Astra SPX with Canadian aircraft registration C-GJRP owned by Latitude Air Ambulance of Hamilton, Ontario, descended 9,000’+ over a period of 2 minutes. The last data was received 2 minutes later as the aircraft was last seen near the search area.
