Where is AP-EDE?
I have not noticed AP-EDE (one of the two a340s in Air Blue's fleet) in operation for a while. According to flightradar24 the last it flew was on 7 December as ABQ2222 (probably on a UN charter). Any news, anyone??

According to following news report, an AirBlue Airbus A340 was grounded when one of its engines was damaged due to bird hit during landing at Islamabad Airport on December 8.
Was it AP-EDE ?

Re: Where is AP-EDE?
Thanks Abbas for finding a possible answer to the question. I suppose they have left it grounded at Islamabad or ferried it to Lahore. Maybe someone working at these airports might be able to shed some light on this??

Re: Where is AP-EDE?
Were the Airblue widebodies returned because Airblue were not happy with the A340 performance or were they returned becuase Airblue couldn't continue to afford the aircraft financially?

Re: Where is AP-EDE?
So AirBlue expansion with A340 was a disaster? Why AirBlue is discontinuing A340 operation??
