The US Coast Guard launched a search operation on Saturday after losing contact with a Gulfstream aircraft carrying six people while it was travelling from Bermuda to Boston. The Federal Aviation Administration reported that communication with the aircraft was lost early Saturday morning, prompting the Coast Guard to deploy both air and surface crews to search for the missing plane.
The aircraft was travelling towards Boston when contact was lost, and the search operation was focused off Nantucket, Massachusetts. The Coast Guard said it was actively looking for the Gulfstream and had mobilised multiple resources following the FAA's report. The aircraft had six people aboard at the time it went silent, although the supplied information does not provide further details about their identities or condition.
The Coast Guard confirmed the search in a public update, saying its air and surface crews had been launched to locate the aircraft. The operation involves teams searching the area where the aircraft was believed to be travelling after communication with air traffic control was lost. Authorities have not provided information in the supplied material about why contact with the aircraft was interrupted.

The FAA's loss of communication with the Gulfstream triggered the response from federal authorities on Saturday morning. The Coast Guard subsequently began coordinating the search using aircraft and surface assets in the area near Nantucket. The available information does not establish whether the aircraft experienced a technical problem, changed course or encountered any other difficulty before contact was lost.
The search remains focused on locating the Boston-bound aircraft and determining its whereabouts. The Coast Guard has not reported a confirmed location for the Gulfstream in the information provided, and there has been no confirmed update on the six people aboard. Officials are continuing efforts to locate the aircraft as the search operation progresses.
The Coast Guard said further updates would be provided as more information becomes available. For now, the aircraft remains the subject of an active search after communication was lost during its journey from Bermuda to Boston. Authorities have not yet announced the outcome of the search or provided further details about the circumstances surrounding the aircraft's disappearance.
