A Bering Air flight, carrying 10 people onboard, reportedly disappeared from radar near Nome, Alaska on Friday, BNO News reported.
The report also shared a statement from Alaska State Troopers, confirming that the missing plane was a commercial flight operated by Bering Air.
“On February 6, 2025, at 4.00 pm, AST was contacted by AKRCC in reference to an overdue aircraft. It was reported that a Bering Air Caravan had gone missing while en route from Unalakteet to Nome, with 9 passengers and 1 pilot on board. SAR crews are working to get to the last known coordinates. Updates to follow,” the statement read.
A ground search is underway to locate the possible wreckage of the plane, another media report claimed.
“Right now air support is not available because of the weather and icing, so we’re doing a ground effort right now,” Alaska Public Media News quoted Danielle Sem, a spokesperson for tribal non-profit Kawerak, as saying.
