A medical aircraft carrying six people has gone missing while flying from Bermuda to Boston. The Gulfstream G100 jet, operated by a Canadian company according to the Daily Times, was transporting a patient for medical treatment.

The aircraft lost contact with air traffic controllers early on a Saturday, triggering a search operation by the US Coast Guard off the coast of Nantucket. The Coast Guard launched air and surface crews to search for the plane, with crews from Air Station Cape Cod, US Coast Guard Station Brant Point in Nantucket, and the USCGC William Sparling involved.

The plane's final known position was off the coast of Nantucket, and flight-tracking data showed it dropped from about 23,500 feet to 11,000 feet within three minutes before its final radar signal was recorded. The scheduled arrival time in Boston was early on the day of the disappearance.
