Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) Normalisation Committee has approached PIA for a chartered flight to take the team to Tajikistan. However it now depends on the PIA administration to respond positively to the NC.

Tajikistan had also come to Pakistan last November via a chartered flight. There is no direct flight from Pakistan.
NC spokesperson said that NC has also approached another airline.
