A charter flight to Yakutat is missing after leaving Juneau on Saturday

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 public affairs officer Mike Salerno said they have no further information about them. The missing plane is a Beechcraft Bonanza, according to a Coast Guard social media post.

Coast Guard spokeswoman Shannon Kearney said the first report of an overdue plane came in at 5:40 p.m. Saturday. The agency put out a Navy broadcast just after 6 p.m. and sent the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Reef Shark about a half-hour later.

They later launched an MH-60T helicopter from Sitka and a C130 from Kodiak and worked with Alaska State Troopers and the Alaska Rescue Coordination Center to search for the aircraft.

The agency is searching near the Fairweather Mountain Range. According to a release from Alaska State Troopers, they received a report that the plane was missing near Mount Crillon, which is at the southern end of the range.

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