What a shame. Ask him to pay from his pocket for all this luxury.

Why did he require a 777 to travel to Ankara? This governmentb is as wasteful if not more as the previous one.

^ I'm sorry I don't have that info.

Could be PAF Gulfstream in case of small entourage.

Nose gear door painted with 'HX' of aircraft registration AP-BHX visible in this shot.

Probably AP-BHX will later fly from Ankara to Istanbul which is included in PM's visit to Turkey.

Only acceptable explaination would be if he carries a delegation of some 200 people with him.

I would find that even more unacceptable! Why would he need to take 200 people in his delegation?

Would have been better had Nawaz Sharif taken an older A310-308 out of the fleet.

Actually you are right even that is unacceptable but honestly furthermore I dont even think that they were so many people onboard this flight.

One of PIA's main problem is the shortage of Aircraft availability and to use one of the few 777 for such a VIP Flight cant be acceptable.

According to information on libhomeradar.org, Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Airbus A310-300 serial# J-757 was last seen active on May 16, 2013, and probably operated a VIP flight "Pak Two" for the last time on March 9, 2013.

Image
On March 9, 2013, J-757 as "Pak Two" carried then Pakistan Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf to Jaipur Airport, India.

The A310 is probably retired now.

Last known flights of J-757.

PM Nawaz Sharafi used 733 AP-BEH in 1992 to 1999 but he did not need AP-OOI A310. He or Govt pay hire PIA 777?

As he was on an official Visit / Meeting Iam quite sure that this Flight has been financed by the Govt. / Taxpayer.
Anyhow every minister or president of a country flies on the expenses of the Govt I dont know anyone who charters a Aircraft on his own expenses for flying on an official visit.
I think the point here is only why hadnt he chosen to travel with a smaller Aircraft.
