Algerian Airline Carrying 110 Passengers "Missing" by nanizle(m): 11:24am On Jul 24, 2014
Algeria's national airline says it has lost contact with a plane carrying 110 passengers and six crew members after it disappeared off the radar on a flight from Burkina Faso to Algiers.

Air navigation services lost track of the Airbus A320 around 50 minutes after take-off early today.
It was last sited at 1.55am GMT, the official Algerian news agency said.

The flight should have landed in the Algerian capital at 5am GMT.
'In keeping with procedures, Air Algerie has launched its emergency plan,' the agency quoted the airline as saying.

The flight path of Flight AH5017 from Ouagadougou, the capital of the west African nation of Burkina Faso, to Algiers was not immediately clear.
Ougadougou is in a nearly straight line south of Algiers, passing over Mali where unrest continues in the north.

A source from Air Algerie told the AFP news agency said contact was lost while it was still in Malian air space approaching the border with Algeria.

The source said: '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.

"Contact was lost after the change of course."

The airline announced that the plane had gone missing in a brief statement carried by national news agency APS.
It added that the company initiated an 'emergency plan' in the search for flight AH5017, which flies the four-hour passenger route four times a week.

Unfortunately, there is no other means of fast transport aside aeroplane because if it is not crashing, it is disappearing. In fact, the tragedies so far experienced by Airbuses is appalling.We need alternative means.

The Aviation industry obviously have sufferd the most terrors this year. It started with Malaysia's missing plan and now it has been treading across other countries. Just recently I read about an aircrash in Taiwan and now this. I wonder what would be the next big news.
