Canadian Medical Plane With 6 Aboard Vanishes En Route to Boston
Six people—four Canadians and two Bermudians—were aboard the missing aircraft and presumed lost.
You're coming in a little weak. Did you declare an emergency?
Mark
So we have a plane that vanished. What do we actually know happened?
Mimi
A Canadian medical plane left Bermuda at 12:41 a.m. Saturday carrying four crew and two passengers. It descended 10,000 feet and lost radio contact around 2 a.m. while heading to Boston.
Luke
And the emergency declaration—did they actually make one?
Mimi
That's the thing. The air traffic control audio shows the controller couldn't hear clearly and asked if they were declaring an emergency, but the transmission was too weak to confirm.
Mark
So the pilots might have been trying to tell him, but he couldn't hear it?
Mimi
Exactly. The controller even asked a nearby Ethiopian Airlines plane to try reaching them. Nothing came back.
Luke
Do we know why the plane lost 10,000 feet? Mechanical failure, weather, pilot error?
Mimi
Not yet. That's what investigators will be trying to figure out.
Mark
And the six people—what do we know about them?
Mimi
Four Canadians and two Bermudians. No Americans were aboard.
Luke
The source says it's a medical transfer plane. Was it responding to an emergency, or was it a routine medical transport?
Mimi
That detail hasn't been released. We know it was an air ambulance, but not what the mission was.
Mark
So the Coast Guard is searching now?
Mimi
Yes. They're looking in the waters off Massachusetts, where the plane was last tracked.

- A Gulfstream air ambulance departed Bermuda at 12:41 a.m. with six people aboard and began losing altitude just forty minutes into its flight toward Boston.
- Air traffic controllers strained to hear garbled transmissions, unable to confirm whether the crew was declaring an emergency before all radio contact ceased around 2 a.m.
- In a desperate improvisation, controllers asked a nearby Ethiopian Airlines flight to hail the missing plane on the same frequency — that attempt, too, met only silence.
- The FAA immediately alerted the U.S. Coast Guard, which launched search and rescue operations in the Atlantic waters off Massachusetts.
- As of now, neither the aircraft nor any of the six people aboard — four Canadians and two Bermudians — have been found, and the cause of the altitude drop and communication failure remains unknown.
In the quiet hours before dawn on a Saturday, a small Canadian medical plane carrying six souls lifted off from Bermuda bound for Boston — and somewhere over the dark Atlantic, it simply ceased to be.

A Canadian medical transfer plane vanished over the Atlantic early Saturday morning while flying from Bermuda to Boston, setting off a Coast Guard search that has yet to yield answers. The Gulfstream G-100, operating as an air ambulance, took off from LF Wade International Airport at 12:41 a.m. with four crew members and two passengers. The flight appeared routine until, roughly forty minutes in, the aircraft began shedding altitude — dropping 10,000 feet as controllers watched. By 2 a.m., radio contact was gone.
Audio from air traffic control, obtained by ABC News, captures the unraveling in real time. A controller struggled to make out the pilots' transmissions, asking them repeatedly to confirm their altitude and whether they were declaring an emergency. The response, if there was one, was too garbled to understand. In a last-ditch effort, controllers asked a nearby Ethiopian Airlines flight to reach the missing plane on the same frequency. Nothing came back.
The FAA notified the U.S. Coast Guard, which launched search operations in the waters off Massachusetts where the plane was last tracked. Four Canadians and two Bermudians were aboard; no Americans were on the flight. The nature of the medical mission, the cause of the altitude loss, and what happened in those final minutes all remain unknown — a plane that departed in the middle of the night and never arrived, leaving only an open question where an answer should be.
A Canadian medical transfer plane carrying six people disappeared over the Atlantic early Saturday morning while en route from Bermuda to Boston, triggering a search and rescue operation by the U.S. Coast Guard.
The Gulfstream G-100, registered in Canada and operated as an air ambulance, lifted off from LF Wade International Airport in Bermuda at 12:41 a.m. Saturday with four crew members and two passengers aboard. The flight was routine at first, but roughly forty minutes into the journey, the aircraft began to lose altitude. Controllers watched as the plane descended 10,000 feet. By 2 a.m., as the jet approached the Boston airspace, radio contact was lost entirely.
Air traffic control audio obtained by ABC News captures the final moments of communication between the pilots and controllers. The controller's voice carries a note of strain—he was having difficulty hearing the pilots clearly and asked them repeatedly to confirm their altitude and other critical information. At one point, the controller asked directly whether the crew was declaring an emergency, but the transmission was too garbled to confirm a response. "You're coming in a little weak so I didn't hear what your response was, if you were declaring an emergency or not," the controller said. When the plane stopped answering altogether, controllers attempted a workaround: they asked a nearby Ethiopian Airlines flight to try reaching the missing aircraft on the same frequency. That attempt also failed. Silence followed.
The Federal Aviation Administration immediately notified the U.S. Coast Guard of the missing aircraft. The Coast Guard launched search operations in the waters off Massachusetts, the area where the plane was last known to be flying. The search continues, but as of now, neither the aircraft nor any of the six people aboard have been located.
According to available information, four Canadians and two Bermudians were on the flight. No Americans were aboard. The nature of the medical emergency the plane was responding to, if any, has not been disclosed. The cause of the altitude loss and the subsequent communication failure remain unknown. Investigators will eventually piece together what happened in those final minutes, but for now, the disappearance stands as an open question—a plane that took off in the middle of the night and never arrived.
