Cardiff expressed surprise after learning that the pilot involved in the plane crash that killed Emiliano Sala was not qualified to fly at night.
The club said it remained "deeply concerned" by the fact that the pilot David Ibbotson and the organizers of the flight "seem to have completely ignored the rules of the flight and put Mr. Sala's life in danger".
Sala died when the Piper Malibu plane in which they were traveling arrived in the English Channel on January 21, two days after Cardiff hired the Argentine striker from Nantes.
The BBC Saturday reported that Ibbotson was color-blind and his license prevented him from flying only during the day.
Cardiff said in a statement: "The city of Cardiff is shocked to hear the pilot, David Ibbotson, may not have been allowed to fly at night.
"The club remains deeply concerned that the pilot, as well as those who organized the flight, appear to have completely ignored the flight rules and put Mr. Sala's life in danger.
"We believe that those responsible should be held fully accountable for their actions.
"We reiterate our support for the Air Charter Association's call for greater awareness and enforcement of the law against illegal theft."
