The ministry did not name the victims of Sunday’s crash on the rugged North Shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
The Foreign Office said Tuesday that British officials were in contact with Canadian authorities, and “our consular officers are ready to provide assistance.”
An official with operator Air Saguenay said the Beaver seaplane was on a sightseeing flight from Lac Long in Tadoussac, 480 kilometres northeast of Montreal, when it crashed. He said weather conditions were excellent at the time.
Canadian officials said Monday that all six people aboard had been found and their bodies handed over the coroner’s office.
