A second Dutch national has been confirmed on board the Air France passenger jet that disappeared over the Atlantic on Monday, Radio Netherlands reported on Tuesday.

The Dutch woman had been living in Brazil for a number of years and was traveling to South Korea via Paris on a business trip, her brother-in-law was quoted as saying.

Earlier lists confirmed that a Dutchman was among the 228 people on board the plane, which was traveling from Rio de Janeiroto Paris. It disappeared three hours after take-off, most probably due to a storm.
