I was looking at planespotters.net and they have a 4th A320 mentioned there for PIA.
AP- 2274 Airbus A320-214 C8Y150 Due B-6017 lsf GECAS.
Any idea when this one is due?

Re: Delivery of Dry Leased Airbus A320s to PIA to Begin in J
congrats.
so now they will be operating 8 narrow bodies which will help them in their schedule.however capacity wise pia is still lagging after retiring their 500 seat b747, b737 and quite a few a310.
so in the near future b777 and a320 will be the workhorse. hopefully the atr 72 would be able to help on some domestic routes like karachi to multan,bahawalpur,dg khan, ryk ect.
any news about the second set of narrow body on dry lease.
i dont really agree that all the dry lease a320 should have business class seats. i believe a 180 all eco config is the way to go until they can offer an up to date business class product

Green and gold stripes are painted incorrectly on PIA Airbus A320-214s registrations AP-BLB and AP-BLD.
AP-BLC with correct green and gold stripes.
AP-BLB with incorrect green and gold stripes.
AP-BLD with incorrect green and gold stripes.

Very least ball is rolling and we are seeing new induction into fleet at this time I guess Aircraft by itself matters most.

There was another deal was finalized, I can't recall the exact number of aircraft that were to be delivered. When is their delivery expected. PIA is showing improvement in terms of decreased losses. Increase in domestic frequency along with improved connections to regional destinations such as Dhaka and Dubai.
