Shujaat Azeem says only one cycle left and they are deciding where to park it using that.

It would be great if it's parked at Islamabad Airport as the first 747 landed at Isb airport first time in Pak and then the service of 747 ends at the same airport.

AP-BFY will not fly again. Aircraft de-registered and PIA markings removed.
Most probably, it will be scrapped.

I desperately hope to see this beauty in PAF Museum or somewhere else except @the scrappers.
I hope PIA officials consider is as after all this is the last memorabilia of a 35 years long journey with the Boeing 747 and PIA.

It should get some position of respect but It would be horrible to see a commercial aircraft between fighter aircrafts

Aircraft in the background is probably de-registered PIA Boeing 747-300 (AP-BFY) at Karachi Airport on May 24, 2017.

^ Because, as far as I know, so far PIA has not given notice for the sale of AP-BFY structure.

Does PIA want to preserve her or something?
