Contact with Air Algerie plane lost | News Article
Algiers – Air Algerie says it has lost contact with one of its aircrafts nearly an hour after takeoff from Burkina Faso.
 
The airline says air navigation services have been unable to trace the plane which was flying from Ouagadougou Burkina Faso to Algiers. 
No further details are available and the Algeria Press Service gave no details on the number of passengers aboard flight AH 5017.

The news comes exactly a week after Malaysian airlines flight MH317 was shot down over eastern Ukraine.

Yesterday, 48 people were killed when a Transasia Airways plane crash landed while attempting to land in Taiwan.
