Coast Guard officials are searching for a missing charter plane that left Juneau for Yakutat on Saturday but never arrived.

There were three people on board, but Coast Guard spokesman Mike Salerno said no further information was available about them.

The Coast Guard dispatched an MH-60T helicopter from Sitka and a C130 from Kodiak and is working with Alaska State Troopers and the Alaska Rescue Coordination Center to search for the missing aircraft.

Salerno urged people flying between Juneau and Yakutat who see anything unusual to contact the Coast Guard.
