The plane belongs to Patagonia Airlines, a small regional airline.
It was heading south to the town of La Junta in the Aysen region with a pilot and nine passengers. Pena said it has been missing for several hours.
The search by air force and civilian pilots was suspended as darkness fell but Pena says it will resume Sunday.
