Both the A 320 of Shaheen are based in Lahore. This was told to me by some friend in Shaheen.

Shaheen Air Lahore to Kuwait flight NL-441 operated with Airbus A320 registration AP-BLJ on April 10.

might be they are not getting good load for A330 due to which they operated A320 on this route

^ Due to availabilty of more option to sislkot the number of passengers to Lahore may reduced. This cam be the reason to stop A330 to fly this route.

A beautiful photo of Shaheen Air Airbus A320-200 with incorrect registration AP-BJK (note 'BJK' on nose gear door). Photo taken at Bournemouth Airport, United Kingdom, on February 4, 2013.

This A320 was delivered to Shaheen Air with registration AP-BLK in March 2013.

Registration AP-BJK was allocated to Schon Air Cessna 172M Skyhawk that was damaged in an accident at Karachi Airport on October 1, 2009.

SAI was supposed to be getting b/w 5-7 A320's but after the first 2 deliveries, nothing has followed. How come such a long gap till the rest of the a/c join the fleet?

Saw a Shaheen a320 standing at Peshawar airport on the morning on 18th June. Any idea which route did that operate on and if its being used on a regular basis

^ Shaheen Air is regularly using Airbus A320 for flights linking Peshawar with cities including Karachi, Dubai, Sharjah, Al Ain, Abu Dhabi.

Thank you Abbas

[Abbas Ali]

^ You're welcome.

According to a friend of mine, at least five more Airbus A320 aircraft are expected to join Shaheen Air fleet in coming months.

Information about construction numbers/year of manufacture of these A320 airframes may emerge in coming days.

These additional five A320s I believe will be very useful in helping Shaheen Air to increase flights frequencies on existing routes and introduce new destinations on airline's route network.

And, I think Shaheen Air will also hire more cockpit & cabin crew for these aircraft.

Three A330s, seven A320s plus nine 737-400s, such capacity plus lower over head would allow Shaheen Air to kill PIA on regional routes from Bangkok to Jeddah.

These two are among five A320s expected to join Shaheen Air fleet in coming months.

Presently, these two A320s are stored at Dublin Airport, Ireland.
