Crews in Alaska are searching for a plane that went missing with 10 people on board.

Alaska State Troopers received reports at 4 p.m. local time that a Bering Air Caravan heading from Unalakleet to Nome carrying nine passengers and a pilot was overdue, according to an online statement.

The Nome Volunteer Fire Department said in a Facebook post that the pilot told Air Traffic Control "he intended to enter a holding pattern while waiting for the runway to be cleared."
