SAN FRANCISCO, July 22 -- The U.S. Coast Guard on Monday continued the search for an overdue plane with three people aboard in the state of Alaska, officials said.

Searches were suspended Sunday overnight but resumed Monday morning, the Coast Guard said.

Alaska State Troopers received a report from the U.S. Coast Guard of a missing plane shortly before 7:30 p.m. Saturday local time, according to the statement by the state Department of Public Safety.

The single-propeller, 1948 Beach Craft Bonanza was flying near Mount Crillon in Southeast Alaska with a pilot and two passengers.

The plane did not arrive on schedule in Yakutat, about 275 miles (442 kilometers) northwest of Juneau, the state's capital city.

Search efforts near Fairweather Mountain Range were coordinated with the Alaska Rescue Coordination Center and troopers, the Coast Guard said in a social media post.
