The International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) is assisting the Afghan authorities in their search for Flight 112. A manned ISAF fixed-wing aircraft have been dispatched to the last known position of the missing plane. However, poor weather conditions in the area have hampered aerial search. Two ISAF helicopters have been sent out to assist with search efforts. Other ISAF helicopters are also on standby at Bagram Airfield and Kabul International Airport to assist in any rescue effort. The ISAF, in support of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, conducts operations in Afghanistan to reduce the capability of insurgency.

NATO-led forces are assisting in the search of Flight 112 with the use of pilotless drones. The weather and terrain in this mountains area of Kabul are extremely harsh and it could take some time before the aircraft is located. Close to 100 search and rescue workers have deployed to the 12,700-foot Salang Pass. Colonel Nabiullah, the person who is in charge said that at this point the only way to get in is on foot.

Pamir Airways is one of three major private Afghan airlines that operates mostly domestic routes across Afghanistan. Pamir Airways began May 1995 and is the first private airline in the history of Afghanistan to receive the Air Operator Certificate from the Ministry of Civil Aviation of the Islamic Government of Afghanistan.

Pamir Airways derived its name from the one of the highest mountain ranges in the world; the Pamir Mountains located in Afghanistan and throughout Central Asia. The name translates into the "roof of the world."
