According to media such as Aftonbladet and Sveriges Radio, an Austrian-owned private plane has crashed into the sea outside Ventspils in Latvia. Camilla Lind in the Swedish Civil Aviation Authority tells Ekot that the plane crashed at 19.45 between Gotland and Tallinn. Flightradar shows that a Swedish rescue helicopter is on its way to where the plane is supposed to have crashed. Data from Flightradar shows that in the minutes before 19.45 the plane lost altitude at a rapid pace. It disappeared from Flightradar just before 8 p.m. According to press spokesperson Johan Walström at the Maritime Administration, a larger vessel is on its way to the accident site, in addition to a helicopter and a plane belonging to the Swedish Coast Guard. The Swedish Defense Forces confirm to SVT that they are monitoring the situation, but will not comment on what kind of measures they are taking as a result of the crash. Shouldn’t have seen the pilot in the cockpit – A German and a Danish fighter plane have been up and tried to make contact, says Wahlström in the Swedish Maritime Administration to Aftonbladet. According to Walström, none of the planes should have seen that there was a pilot in the cockpit. Swedish media wrote a short time ago that it is feared that the plane will crash, and that it had little fuel left. German authorities were unable to get hold of the pilot or anyone on board. Four people are on board. The plane was actually supposed to land in Cologne in Germany, but continued past the airport, reports Dagens Nyheter.
