Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the disappearence of Flight AH1020 over the Mediterranean a few minutes ago.
The Air Algerie Boeing 737-600 took off from Algiers this afternoon on a flight to Marseille but let out an emergency call shortly after take-off.
Flight radar showed the plane turn around and head back towards the point where it took-off but before arriving, the jet disappeared from radar.
The flight took off at around 1.30pm local time and was due to arrive in Marseille just after 4pm.
More soon.
