The U.S. Coast Guard and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) are searching for a missing medical jet that disappeared near Nantucket while traveling from Bermuda to Boston early Saturday, October 3, 2026. The Gulfstream G100, which had six people on board, lost contact with air traffic controllers at approximately 1 a.m. local time. The FAA has issued a Search and Rescue Alert Notice for the aircraft.
The plane is registered to Latitude Air Ambulance with tail number CGRJP. According to FlightAware data, it departed Bermuda at approximately 11:40 p.m. ET on Friday and had been in the air for about 1 hour and 45 minutes before communication was lost. The aircraft was scheduled to land at Boston's Logan International Airport at approximately 1:30 a.m.
Tracking data indicates the jet descended from 24,000 feet to 11,000 feet before losing contact. The search and rescue mission includes air and surface vessels from the U.S. Coast Guard Northeast District, focusing on the waters off the coast of Nantucket. No information regarding the identities or status of the six individuals on board has been released.
The search remains the primary focus as of Saturday. The Coast Guard has not reported any sightings of debris or the aircraft. Latitude Air Ambulance operates flights to move patients between international locations and medical facilities. Typically, a formal inquiry by federal investigators follows the conclusion of search operations.
