Search and rescue operations resumed on Thursday morning, and Choo said the club and the players family are still praying for a miracle.Salas sister, Romina, flew to Cardiff on Wednesday and has demanded answers from the club over the circumstances of her brothers disappearance.And Choo has told talkSPORT he and Cardiff staff are working hard to ensure she has all the right facts to relay back to the rest of the family in Argentina as they continue to wait for news.Basically what is happening is Salas sister is here in Cardiff gathering information, the club chief said.We met her at 10pm last night and had talks until midnight.

She has read a lot in the press but she wants to hear from the club and get the facts. Were trying to get as much factual information for her and make sure all the right facts she requires are conveyed to her.We have also organised Guernsey police to have a meeting with her today in Wales to convey to her the timeline of the flights, when the flight left, when it should have landed, where is the nearest piece of land where the plane could possibly have landed, how the search and rescue is being conducted and who by.The family is living in Argentina and she just wants to look a person in the face, in the eye and get more factual information thats the reason for her trip.The aircraft went missing just off Alderney, which lies 10 miles from the western border of the Cotentin Peninsula5

Choo also clarified that Cardiff had nothing to do with the chartering of Salas private flight from France to England.It was falsely claimed earlier this week that the missing aircraft was owned by Cardiff chairman Mehmet Dalman, and agent Mark McKay, who helped broker the transfer between Cardiff and Nantes, has also denied reports that the plane was owned by his family.The club had offered to book Sala on a commercial flight from Paris to Heathrow, which the player declined, but Choo has admitted his regret he did not push for the player to agree to their arrangements.Cardiff City were definitely not involved in making the plane reservations, he added.Our player liaisons had an offer for Emiliano to fly on a commercial flight from Paris, but basically the player said dont worry about that I have alternative arrangements, Ill see you at the ground on Tuesday.Sala travelled on a Piper PA-46 Malibu plane, like the one pictured5

He requested our club officials to pick him up from Cardiff airport on Monday night, but of course the plane never arrived.His French representatives, or the people he is associated with, reserved the flight.We are trying to get more information for Salas sister today, and she has requested to speak to those representatives to explain the sequence of events and the communication between themselves and Sala in organising the flights.In hindsight we should have pushed [for the commercial flight from Paris] but we had to respect the wishes of the player, we do not want to make players uncomfortable with any arrangements.Nantes fans gathered in the city after the news about Sala emerged5

Cardiff owner Vincent Tan is totally in distress over Salas disappearance, according to Choo.The CEO is in constant communication with the Bluebirds boss and also visited the players on Wednesday.I went to see the first team yesterday, I had to ensure the manager and coaching team are fine, the back office staff is fine and the players are fine, he added.I spoke with the captain and some of the other leaders in the team and theyre trying to cope with the situation, but the dressing room is pretty sombre. They are all shocked.But as chief executive I have to pull them together we have a game to play next week.Everyone knows its difficult, but we still have to pull up our socks and get on with it.We are still hoping for a miracle. We are praying every day.Cardiff owner Vincent Tan is ‘very saddened’ by Sala’s disappearance5
