The Coast Guard ended a multi-agency search after debris from the Canadian-registered jet was found and six people remained missing, officials said.
- The U.S. Coast Guard has suspended the search for six people, including four Canadians, aboard a missing medical transport aircraft off the coast of Nantucket.
- Early Saturday, the Canadian-registered Gulfstream G-100 departed Bermuda's Wade International Airport for Boston's Logan International Airport, but the Federal Aviation Administration lost contact with the flight shortly thereafter.
- On Saturday, Coast Guard crews from Air Station Cape Cod and Station Brant Point located a debris field confirmed to be from the missing jet off Nantucket Island, Massachusetts.
- Rear Admiral Matthew Lake stated that suspending a search "is not an easy decision," while Premier David Burt said families are "deeply worrying" about those on board.
