Special flights for both teams

Published March 20, 2005

KOLKATA, March 19: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is said to be holding talks with the Indian Airlines to arrange chartered flights for both teams for the six one-day Internationals that follow the Test series.

Goutam Dasgupta, joint secretary of the BCCI said that discussions were on with the Airlines following a request from the Pakistan team management for chartered flights to routes where there were no direct commercial flights.

Both the teams had traveled down to Kolkata from New Delhi on the same plane last week.

The six one-dayers are to be played between April 2 and 17 at Cochin, Visakapatnam, Jamshedpur, Ahmedabad, Kanpur, and New Delhi.
