Missing Air Algerie flight AH5017 has crashed, an Algerian aviation official has confirmed.

It is not clear where the plane came down, but unofficial sources have been speculating.

Air traffic tracking company Flightradar said in a tweet it crashed in Niger.

Air Algerie/Swiftair flight #AH5017 EC-LTV is now confirmed crashed in Niger. Still no info about passengers and crew

Meanwhile the French foreign minister said that the plane may have come down in northern Mali.

Issa Saly Maiga, head of Mali’s National Civil Aviation Agency, said that a search was under way for the missing flight.

He said: ‘We do not know if the plane is Malian territory. Aviation authorities are mobilised in all the countries concerned – Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Algeria and even Spain.’

Contact with the plane was lost shortly after it changed course due to bad weather.

Flight AH 5017 has 110 passengers and six crew – including 50 French citizens – on board and was travelling from Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso to Algiers.
