The pri­vate air­craft that went miss­ing on Fri­day, af­ter de­part­ing St Vin­cent en route to To­ba­go, has been found.

Ac­cord­ing to me­dia re­ports in St Vin­cent, au­thor­i­ties there con­firmed that the small air­craft was lo­cat­ed yes­ter­day and its two oc­cu­pants were un­harmed.

How­ev­er, no de­tails have been re­leased on where the air­craft was found or the na­tion­al­i­ties of those on board.

The dis­ap­pear­ance of the plane, short­ly af­ter tak­ing off from Ar­gyle In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port in St Vin­cent be­fore mid­day, prompt­ed a re­gion­al re­sponse, with mul­ti­ple agen­cies in Trinidad and To­ba­go al­so be­com­ing in­volved.

Min­is­ter of Civ­il Avi­a­tion Eli Za­k­our said the air­craft re­port­ed­ly had five hours of fu­el and was ex­pect­ed to ar­rive in Crown Point around 12.30 pm.

Re­gion­al pi­lots had been asked to be on the look­out for an oil spill that could in­di­cate a pos­si­ble crash.

Fligh­tradar24 da­ta showed the air­craft, reg­is­tra­tion HI-1145, had made sev­er­al trips be­tween Ar­gyle and Canouan air­ports in St Vin­cent in the days pri­or to its de­par­ture.

As the air­craft flew south of St Vin­cent’s air­space, all con­tact with air traf­fic con­trol was lost af­ter its transpon­der stopped trans­mit­ting.

The in­ci­dent has al­so drawn the at­ten­tion of St Vin­cent’s Se­cu­ri­ty Min­is­ter St Clair Lea­cock, who told lo­cal me­dia that sev­er­al state agen­cies are mon­i­tor­ing the sit­u­a­tion.
