    London (CNN) -- An Air Algerie flight, with 116 people on board, has dropped off the radar, prompting a search for the missing plane, the airline's operator said Thursday.
    Flight AH 5017 lost radar contact 50 minutes after takeoff from Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, at 1:17 a.m. Thursday local time (9:27 p.m. ET Wednesday)
    It was supposed to have arrived at Algiers' Houari Boumediene Airport at 5:10 a.m. local time. (12:10 a.m. ET Thursday).
    The plane, an MD-83, is carrying 110 passengers, two pilots and four crew members. The MD-83 is part of the McDonnell Douglas MD-80 family of twin engines, single-aisle jets.
    A private Spanish company, Swiftair, operated the plane for Air Algerie.
    "We have lost contact with the plane," Swiftair said.
    "At this moment, emergency services and our staff are working on finding out more on this situation."

    Algeria's national airline, Air Algerie, says it has lost contact with one of its planes flying from Burkina Faso.
    Contact was lost about 50 minutes after take-off from Ouagadougou, the airline is quoted by Algeria's state news agency as saying.
    The passenger airliner, last seen at 0155 GMT, was bound for the Algerian capital Algiers, it added.
    Flight AH 5017 had 110 passengers and six crew on board, officials said.
    "In keeping with procedures, Air Algerie has launched its emergency plan," Air Algerie officials, quoted by APS news agency, said.
    The plane is chartered from Spanish airline Swiftair.
    In a statement (in Spanish), Swiftair said that the aircraft was an MD83 and that they were unable to establish contact with the plane. The plane was originally scheduled to land at 0510 local time, it said.
    Flight AH 5017 flies the Ouagadougou-Algiers route four times a week, AFP news agency reported.
