A plane carrying 10 people went missing in a remote region along the western coast of Alaska on Thursday.

The Cessna 208 Caravan, on Bering Air Flight 445, left Unalakleet, Alaska, about 2:40 p.m. local time. The plane went off the radar and lost radio contact with air traffic control and the airline around 3:20 p.m., roughly 10 minutes before it was scheduled to arrive in Nome.

When its position was lost, the aircraft was 12 miles offshore, was later reported overdue, meaning that it had not reached the airport 30 minutes past its estimated arrival time.

Search crews and aircraft from the Coast Guard, the National Guard and the U.S. Air Force were working to locate the plane.
