Dominican Civil Aviation Institute (IDAC) suspects that the C500 jet that took off from Las Americas International on a flight to Isla Grande International Airport in Puerto Rico crashed into the sea approximately three miles from the airport. Jose Tomas Perez of IDAC said that US Coast Guard and local salvage brigades have combed the area near the airport. US national Antonio Armando Fernandez was the only person on board. As reported in Listin Diario, the pilot landed in Las Americas to refuel before continuing towards Puerto Rico. Controllers at the airport say they lost communication with the pilot shortly after take-off. The Cessna disappeared at 8:15am, after flying six kilometers to the southwest.
