Coast Guard suspends search for medical transport jet that left Bermuda with 6 people aboard

The U.S. Coast Guard has suspended its search for a medical transport jet that disappeared with six people on board after departing Bermuda. The Canadian-registered Gulfstream G100, operated by Latitude Air Ambulance, lost contact with air traffic control early Saturday, October 3, 2026, during a flight to Boston. The last known position was off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts, after the pilot reported electrical issues and a rapid descent.

Debris confirmed to be from the missing aircraft was located by search crews on Saturday evening. On board the jet were four Canadian crew members and two Bermudian nationals, identified as a patient and a family member.

The extensive search effort, involving multiple agencies, covered over 4,400 square miles for approximately 66 hours before being suspended at sunset on Sunday, October 4, 2026. Rear Admiral Matthew Lake, Commander of the Northeast District, expressed deepest condolences to the families affected by the tragedy.
