The AAIB said it is aware that a privately-funded search is also being conducted and is ‘liaising closely with those involved to maximise the chance of locating any wreckage and ensure a safe search operation’.A GoFundMe campaign set up by Sala’s agent raised over 300,000 to fund a search after Guernsey Police called off the official search after three days.Sala was honoured in Cardiff’s first match since his disappearance, with his name listed among the Bluebirds’ squad in the matchday program for their visit to Arsenal on Tuesday night.
