Search underway for missing plane headed from Edmonton to Chilliwack
CHILLIWACK, B.C. – Aircraft are searching the British Columbia Interior for a small plane with two people on board that’s gone missing.
The Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre says in a statement that its Pacific division was notified Friday afternoon that a small, private plane was overdue on a flight from Edmonton to Chilliwack, B.C.
It says a Hercules search-and-rescue plane began a search based on the pilot’s flight plan, as well as on information from air traffic control.
A Cormorant helicopter later joined the search, but low cloud cover hampered the effort.
