Ontario-based air ambulance carrying 6 missing off U.S. coast
The Federal Aviation Administration told Global News in a statement it issued a Search and Rescue Alert for a Gulfstream G-100 around 1:20 a.m. Saturday.
A Hamilton-based air ambulance carrying six individuals has gone missing off the coast of Nantucket, prompting a search effort by the U.S. Coast Guard. The Federal Aviation Administration issued a Search and Rescue Alert for the Gulfstream G-100 around 1:20 a.m. Saturday, as the flight departed from L.F. Wade International Airport in Bermuda and was en route to Boston Logan International Airport.
Latitude Air Ambulance, the company operating the aircraft registered to the missing flight, is based in Hamilton, Ontario. According to FlightRadar 24 data, the company operates four Gulfstream G-100 jets, which are described as the "longest range dedicated medevac aircraft in North America." Typically, each mission includes a registered nurse and a registered respiratory therapist, with a physician sometimes joining the team.
The Coast Guard launched both air and surface crews to locate the aircraft, which had its previous flight from Hamilton to Bermuda on Friday.
