Story summary

On Saturday, a Gulfstream G100 aircraft carrying six people vanished while en route from Bermuda to Boston's Logan International Airport, losing communication with the FAA around 1 AM local time. The plane took off at approximately 11:41 PM ET on Friday and was scheduled to land in Boston by about 1:30 AM Saturday. Shortly before its disappearance, the aircraft reportedly dropped from 24,000 feet to 11,000 feet within minutes, according to flight-tracking data. The US Coast Guard launched an extensive search off the coast of Nantucket using air and sea crews, including teams from Air Station Cape Cod and Brant Point in Nantucket. Latitude Air Ambulance, based in Hamilton, is the operator of the missing aircraft.
