The US authorities are looking for a small plane that has 10 people who have been reported to be missing in Alaska.
The US Coast Guard in Alaska said Cessna Caravan Craft said in a flight from Unalakleet to NOME, “The location was lost in 19km (19km) off.”
The two cities are about 146 miles away from Norton Sound, the entrance to the Bering Sea on the West Coast of Alaska.
Search and rescuers are “trying to reach the last known coordinates of flight,” the official said in a statement.
They said they were informed of the “deadline” aircraft operated by the airline Berging Air on Thursday 16:00 (16:00 GMT).
According to the update of the Alaska Public Safety, 10 people in the board of directors consisted of nine passengers and pilots. There was no information about who boarded.
A volunteer firefighter at Landing City Nome told the pilot that the pilot was trying to enter the holding pattern while waiting for the runway to be organized.
The BBC contacted the Bering AIR and presented opinions.
Coastguard said it was sent to find the last known location of the missing crafts that provided information on search and rescue missions.
The search plane, which includes special equipment for finding objects and no visible conditions, flies to the grid pattern on the water and the coastline.
Anchorage’s Elmendorf Air Force Base also provided flight support.
