The U.S. Coast Guard is searching for a Hamilton-based air ambulance carrying six people that went missing off the coast of Nantucket.
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.
The flight departed from L.F. Wade International Airport in Bermuda and was headed to Boston Logan International Airport, a spokesperson said.
In a post on social media, the Coast Guard said it had launched air and surface crews in search of the aircraft.

The jet is registered to Latitude Air Ambulance, a company based in Hamilton, Ont., according to data from FlightRadar 24.
The company’s website states it operates four Gulfstream G-100 jets, the “longest range dedicated medevac aircraft in North America.”
Typically a mission will have a registered nurse and a registered respiratory therapist. Sometimes a physician will also be on board, the website says.
The Coast Guard said six people were on board.
The jet’s previous flight was Friday, travelling from Hamilton to Bermuda.
