The U.S. Coast Guard is continuing to search Saturday for six people aboard a missing medical transport aircraft after search crews located a debris field confirmed to be from the aircraft off the coast of Nantucket while flying from Bermuda to Boston.

Axar.az reports, citing the US media, that the Gulfstream G100 was carrying two Bermudans and four Canadians. The Coast Guard said the passengers’ next of kin had been notified and that search operations were continuing.

Flight data showed the aircraft descended at least 9,000 feet in about two minutes before leveling off for several minutes and then disappearing. The pilot had declared an emergency.

According to emergency radio communications, the aircraft was experiencing electrical problems and had lost both radio and radar contact.

The plane was operated by Ontario-based Latitude Air Ambulance. The Coast Guard deployed two search-and-rescue aircraft, a helicopter and a motor lifeboat, in the operation.
