A search and rescue operation has been called off following the disappearance of a flight traveling from Honduras to Costa Rica.

What happened

A flight originating from La Ceiba-Goloson Airport, destined for Costa Rica, disappeared shortly after departure. Approximately six minutes into the flight, the aircraft maintained several communications with Air Traffic Control. However, shortly after these radio exchanges, the plane disappeared from radar monitoring.

Following the loss of contact, authorities initiated extensive search and rescue operations covering a wide geographic area. Despite the efforts of rescue teams, no wreckage or debris was located. After several days of searching, all operations were officially terminated as no trace of the aircraft or its two occupants could be found. It is suspected that the plane may have gone down within a heavily forested jungle region.
