A private Jet crashed into the Baltic Sea near Latvia on Sunday with four passengers on board, according to officials. The private Cessna plane is thought to have crashed just off the coast of Latvia with rescue planes and boats sent to the site of the crash by the Swedish Maritime Administration.
The Austrian-registered aircraft was flying from Jerez in southern Spain according to FlightRadar24. Air traffic reportedly lost contact with the private jet, which was bound for Cologne, Germany, but continued north towards the Baltic Sea.
The flight path indicated that the aircraft turned twice, at Paris and Cologne, before hovering over the Baltic, passing near the Swedish island of Gotland. Shortly after 5.30pm, it was listed on the tracker as losing speed and altitude.
