On Saturday, a Gulfstream G100 plane carrying six people vanished while en route from Bermuda to Boston, prompting an urgent search by the U.S. Coast Guard off the coast of Nantucket.

The aircraft is registered to Latitude Air Ambulance, an Ontario-based company that specializes in medical transport flights.
