Pakistan International Arlines (PIA) : News / Updates

[Yasser76]

Seems like these airframes were previously in IndiGo usage and have an avg. age of 7 to 9 years. Hopefully this can be the start of PIA's transition towards a newer and more modern fleet.

The avg. age of PIA's 777 fleet is ~20 yrs.

Yes, they are in a lease so imagine will be used till PIA gets its new builds

Looks like 787s will be in PIA service very soon

PIA, Norse Atlantic sign a partnership agreement for Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners

PIA has signed an agreement with Norse Atlantic, for two state-of-the-art Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners.

the agreement says it is for 2 dreamliners.......so probably they require these new ones on the UK routes (London, and/or Manchester).

Seems the old fleet of B777 will still be serving Toronto and Paris for now....
.
PIA will have difficulty restoring its entire(previous) EU network because it only has between 4-6 B777s currently active out of 12 at any time, and they break down often due to lack of spare parts and past financial issues.

Not sure what the plan of the new owners are, not much shared in media anyway and people have yet to see improvements. A very very slow process is ongoing, at a turtle pace!
