The aeronave Cessna Citationcon registration number CP-3243left at 08:30 local time from the El Alto airport, a neighboring city of La Paz, towards the city of Santa Cruz, but half an hour later communication was lost and it began to fly in circles.
At 11:00 local time it disappeared from the radar, Zamora noted.
The ship’s pilots are Carlos Moyano y Julio Sardanwho hours before had transferred the Minister of the Environment, Oscar Mario Justiniano, from Santa Cruz to La Paz, added the head of Public Works.
An FAB plane and helicopter are searching for the crashed aircraft.
Zamora said that one of the assumptions is that the ship suffered cabin depressurization and that the pilots lost consciousness, which would explain the lack of communication and the ship’s flight in circles.
