Air Algerie Plane Disappears From Radar — 116 On Board
A flight chartered by Air Algerie has disappeared from radar en route from Burkina Faso to Algiers, Associated Press reports.
Air navigation services lost track of flight AH5017 about 50 minutes after takeoff from Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso in West Africa.
"We have lost contact with the plane," said Swiftair, the Spanish operator of the plane.
The aircraft, a Swiftair MD83, is carrying 110 passengers and 6 crew members. The crewmembers, two pilots and four in the cabin, are Spanish nationals while reports suggest that multiple nationalities were on the flight.
CNN reports that Flight AH 5017 left Ougadougou at 00:45 local time on Thursday (8:45 p.m. Wednesday EDT) and was scheduled to arrive at Algiers' Houari Boumediene Airport at 5:40 a.m. local time (12:40 a.m. Thursday ET).
"The plane was not far from the Algerian frontier when the crew was asked to make a detour because of poor visibility and to prevent the risk of collision with another aircraft on the Algiers-Bamako route," an Air Algerie employee told AFP. "Contact was lost after the change of course."
Authorities have initiated an emergency plan in the search for flight AH5017, which flies the four-hour passenger route four times a week.
A straight flight path would have the plane passing over Mali, where Islamic insurgents took over the north of the country following a 2012 military coup. A senior French official told AP it was unlikely that fighters in Mali had weaponry that could shoot down a plane flying at that altitude.

Не ми е јасно како може да падне заради лошо време? Имаат метео радари, му кажуваат дека пред нив ги чека лошо време, можат со време да го избегнат... Јас нешто не контам во врска со несреќиве со лошо време или...?

Ова излезе дека е пилотска грешка, заради прерано враќање во зоната на лоши метео услови, неискусниот екипаж го довел летот во ситуација која видовме како заврши
