A Gulfstream G650 private jet disappeared shortly after taking off from Bermuda’s L.F. Wade International Airport en route to Nantucket, Massachusetts, leaving six crew and passengers unaccounted for. The aircraft departed at 06:39 local time on Thursday, and was expected to land in Nantucket around 09:00. Bermuda’s Civil Aviation Authority confirmed that the flight had been cleared for departure and that contact was lost within minutes of leaving the island.
The Bermuda-based flight was operated by a charter company based in the United States. Local authorities have issued a search and rescue alert that extends into the Atlantic, involving U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Navy and Bermuda’s own search and rescue teams. Preliminary reports indicate the aircraft was last sighted over the Atlantic, near the 30‑mile radius of Bermuda.
The Bermuda community is following the developing story closely. Officials from the Bermuda Port Authority and the government have expressed concern over the safety of Bermuda’s aviation infrastructure and urged the international community to assist with search efforts.

If the aircraft is found or the passengers located, investigators will examine flight data to determine the cause of the disappearance. In the meantime, Bermuda’s Civil Aviation Authority is reviewing its protocols for international flights departing from the island.
