Search for plane with two aboard in NT

A search is underway for a lightweight aircraft with two folks aboard that did not arrive at its vacation spot within the Northern Territory’s Top End greater than a day in the past.

The pilot and one passenger took off within the plane from Gove Airport in East Arnhem about 8.30am on Saturday, NT Police say.

The aircraft was because of land at Katherine, 530km southwest, about two hours later but it surely by no means arrived.

Police and the Australian Maritime Safety Authority have been in search of the plane in distant components of the Top End since Christmas Eve.
