Re: PIA Airbus A310-300 Fleet Status
on which routes are these A310's being used now?
Are they still flying to European destinations, or limited to middle east and/or domestic flights?

^ PIA is using A310s for its domestic, Middle East and Far East destinations.
On some occasions A310s were seen operating flights to London when Boeing 777s were unavailable for some reason like for example Hajj flight operations.
Following photo shows PIA Airbus A310-308 registration AP-BEQ on short finals to London-Heathrow Airport on March 23, 2014.

Re: PIA Airbus A310-300 Fleet Status
so the A310 numbers are dwindling, down to 4 operational A310s with no widebodies coming.
Pretty soon it will be down to the 9 B777s for widebodies I guess.
Great going by current management, make it a regional airline with narrowbody inductions only.

Re: PIA Airbus A310-300 Fleet Status
^ Actually some of Airbus A320s being acquired by PIA on dry lease will replace airline's Airbus A310-300s on some routes.
A320s on selected former A310 routes will also reduce PIA fuel bills.

Re: PIA Airbus A310-300 Fleet Status
As fuel costs have fallen in the past year, the 1993 built fleet can offer PIA cheap 200 seat capacity for another few years.
Keeping a fleet of six A310-300 PIA should use them for long haul flights to revive routes to Europe and Far East.
Upgrade the cabins and put in 200 all economy layout and offer a good quality economy product.
While the A320s can cover South Asia, Middle East, U.A.E and domestic routes.

Re: PIA Airbus A310-300 Fleet Status
With BGR currently grounded, are they possibly planning to bring back BGN?
