The Costa Rican authorities have seen this Saturday in the Caribbean Sea the remains of a private jet in which 5 German passengers were traveling and that disappeared from the radars on Friday night.
“28 kilometers from the Limón airport, in the Caribbean Sea, remains were located that apparently indicate that it is the aircraft. At the moment we have not located bodies or people alive,” explained the Vice Minister of Public Security, Martín Arias.
The official reported that the search and rescue operation resumed at 5:00 local time this Saturday (11:00 GMT) with the participation of aircraft from the National Air Surveillance Service and vessels from the National Coast Guard Service.
The private jet with registration D-IRSG from Veracruz, Mexico, with 5 German passengers on board and bound for the airport in the Costa Rican province of Limón (Caribbean), disappeared from radar when flying near the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica , at about 6:00 p.m. local time (00:00 GMT on Saturday).
The Germans traveling on the aircraft were identified as Rainer Schaller, Christiane Schikorsky, Marcus Kurreck and two minors identified as Finja Sghikorsky and Aaron Schaller.
Local media have reported that Schaller is a German businessman who founded the RSG Group, which integrates gym chains globally.
The authorities activated the search protocols but due to the bad weather that occurred this Friday night in the Caribbean, they suspended the actions and resumed them early this Saturday.
