Coast Guard staff are searching for a missing charter flight that left Juneau on Saturday bound for Yakutat but never reached its destination.

There were three people on board, but Coast Guard public affairs officer Mike Salerno said they do not know anything more about them.

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

Salerno asked that people flying between Juneau and Yakutat who see something out of the ordinary contact the Coast Guard.

This is a breaking news story that will be updated.
