A small plane from Mexico with five German citizens on board disappeared this Friday off the coast of Costa Rica, announced the Minister of Public Security, Jorge Torres.
“We have received an alert (of disappearance) of an aircraft, a private flight from Mexico to the Limón airport,” in the east, the minister said.
“Five citizens of German nationality were on board the plane,” the official said in a video message released by his ministry.
The search should resume this Saturday.
“The plane lost communication with the control tower near La Barra de Parismina in the Costa Rican Caribbean and we immediately activated internal protocol” to locate it, the official said.
He added that the plane disappeared at 6:00 p.m. local time (midnight Saturday GMT). After a few hours, the search was suspended for the night and “bad weather” and will resume on Saturday, the minister said.
