On Sunday, the United States Coast Guard suspended its search for a missing Hamilton-based Latitude Air Ambulance aircraft after locating debris 32 kilometres off the coast of Nantucket.
The Gulfstream jet carrying four Canadian crew members and two passengers lost contact early Saturday while traveling from Bermuda to Boston to transport a Bermudian patient and family member.
Latitude Air Ambulance confirmed six people were aboard, stating the crew was "dedicated to caring for others" and pledging support to affected families.
After searching seven-thousand kilometres of ocean, the United States Coast Guard ceased operations on Sunday, concluding the extensive effort to locate the missing aircraft.
Latitude Air Ambulance stated it is "mourning the six souls aboard," while committing to support families and staff in the coming days.
