HYANNIS, Massachusetts (CNN) -- A commuter airplane crashed Tuesday into Nantucket Sound off southeastern Massachusetts, the Federal Aviation Administration said.

A Coast Guard spokeswoman in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, said the Coast Guard was told by the air traffic control tower in Hyannis that the plane had only its crew of two aboard, and no passengers.

The FAA said the aircraft was on a repositioning flight, moving the plane from one airport to another.

The plane has been found in the water, but no one has been rescued and no bodies have been recovered, the FAA said.

Debris was floating in the water at the crash scene, as many small boats and a Coast Guard helicopter searched the area.

The incident occurred at 3:38 p.m. EDT, FAA spokeswoman Arlene Salac said.

The Colgan Air flight had just left Barnstable Municipal Airport on Cape Cod for Albany, New York, when an emergency was declared, she said. Colgan Air operates as a US Airways Express carrier. It does not operate passenger flights from Hyannis to Albany, according to its Web site.

The plane attempted to return to Hyannis but crashed three miles south of the airport into Nantucket Sound, she said.

The Beech 1900 twin turboprop could hold the two crew members and up to 19 passengers.
