ANKARA (Reuters) - A Turkish plane with 56 people on
board has gone missing in central Turkey, the private
airline company AtlasJetair said on Friday.

The plane disappeared from radar screens shortly
before it was due to land at Isparta, a town about 150
km (90 miles) north of the Mediterranean resort of
Antalya.

AtlasJetair chief executive Tuncay Doganer told the
CNN Turk broadcaster there were 49 passengers and
seven crew aboard the aircraft, which was flying from
Istanbul.

Turkey's state Anatolian news agency said aviation
authorities lost contact with the plane at 2336 GMT on
Thursday, just after the pilot said he was preparing
to land at Isparta's Suleyman Demirel airport.

The agency said a crisis desk had been set up at the
airport.

Isparta is a mountainous area of Turkey, which is now
in the grip of winter with snow and fog common on
higher ground across much of the country.
