一架从百慕大飞往波士顿的医疗运输飞机在飞行途中与地面失去联系，机上载有6人1。美国海岸警卫队随即在马萨诸塞州南塔基特岛附近海域展开搜救行动1。
失联飞机系一架Gulfstream G-100型号的加拿大注册机，由Latitude Air Ambulance公司运营3。该飞机于周六当地时间23时40分从百慕大L.F. Wade国际机场起飞，计划于美东时间凌晨1时30分抵达波士顿洛根国际机场3。根据联邦航空局记录，飞机于当地时间凌晨1时左右失联3。机上共有4名机组人员和2名乘客6。
飞行数据显示，飞机在失联前经历了异常下降3。飞机高度从约7300米（24000英尺）急剧下降至3300米（11000英尺）后与地面失去联系3，官方相信飞机在撞击水面前快速下降7500英尺后坠入水中6。Latitude Air Ambulance的飞行操作主任Clarence Togeretz表示："我们总是对机组人员没有按时与我们联系感到相当担忧"6。
