Algeria's national airline says it has lost contact with a plane carrying 110 passengers and six crew after it disappeared off the radar on a flight from Burkina Faso to Algiers.
Air Algerie said air navigation services lost track of the flight around 50 minutes after take-off.
The plane, which is owned by Spanish private company Swiftair, was last sited at 1.55am GMT, the official Algerian news agency said.
The flight should have landed in the Algerian capital at 5am GMT.
Conflicting reports said the aircraft was an airbus A320 or a McDonnell Douglas MD-83.

The flight path of AH5017 from Ouagadougou, the capital of the west African nation of Burkina Faso, to Algiers was not immediately clear.
A source from Air Algerie told the AFP news agency said contact was lost while it was still in Malian air space approaching the border with Algeria.
