The U.S. Coast Guard is searching for a Gulfstream jet carrying six people after the aircraft vanished Saturday morning during a flight from Bermuda to Boston.

The Gulfstream G100, a twin-engine midsize aircraft, is believed to be off Nantucket. Air crews and surface vessels have been dispatched to the area, the Coast Guard’s Northeast District said.
