Breaking News: Algeria Plane Carrying 116 from Burkina Faso
Missing
(Reuters) – Authorities have lost contact with an Air
Algerie flight en route from Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso to Algiers with 110
passengers on board, Algeria’s APS state news agency and a Spanish airline
company said on Thursday.
APS said authorities lost contact with flight AH 5017 an
hour after it took off from Burkina Faso.
Spanish private airline company Swiftair confirmed it had no
contact with its MD-83 aircraft operated by Air Algerie, which it said was
carrying 110 passengers and six crew. An Algieran official had earlier said it
was an Airbus A320.
The company said in a notice posted on its website that the
aircraft took off from Burkina Faso at 0117 local time and was supposed to land
in Algiers at 0510 local time but never reached its destination.
