The Hercules C130 aircraft took off at 4:55pm on Monday from the southern city of Punta Arenas in Chilean Patagonia and was heading to a base in Antarctica, but operators lost contact with the plane shortly after 6pm. The plane had been carrying 17 crew members and 21 passengers, the Air Force said, adding that its rescue team was scouring the area “where it lost communication with the plane, with the goal of rescuing possible survivors”.
“My thoughts and prayers are with the families of the 38 crew members and passengers of the FACh C-130 plane,” Pinera wrote on Twitter on Tuesday.
