Emiliano Sala – live updates: Police suspend search after finding ‘no trace’

Rescue workers have resumed their search for a plane carrying Cardiff City‘s new record signing Emiliano Sala at sunrise after the light aircraft disappeared over the English Channel.

Five aircraft and two lifeboats scoured more than 1,000 square miles for traces of the plane on Monday after it disappeared from radar en route from Nantes in France to Cardiff.

Guernsey Police say the chances of passenger survival were “slim” as they focus their efforts on the possibility Sala and the pilot of the aircraft made it on to a life raft. Cardiff City are in “shock” but the game with Arsenal will go ahead as

planned this weekend.

Guernsey Police have now suspended their search for the evening.
In a statement at 17:00, the Police said: “After an intensive search using multiple aircraft and one lifeboat over the last nine hours, we have found no trace of the missing plane.
“A decision about whether to recommence will be taken early tomorrow morning. There will be no further updates tonight.”

Harbour Master Captain David Barker has now confirmed that the name of the pilot of the missing aircraft is David Ibbotson.
