So how many aircraft does Airblue have now currently, on dry lease ?
What's the fleet size now?
If they're looking at expansion they need more dryleased planes. Wet-leases don't exactly do good for the overall image of the company.
You need to have aircraft in your own livery to claim as your own.

They don't own any aircraft?

I remember airblue had order with airbus but they reduced to one or two planes of a320?

Also i see a321 flying to ME many times from airblue. This plane is good choice for ME routes.

they took only one of the 14 ordered, sold it and leased it back, dosent make sense to own just one aircraft, I think it has seat back IFE not sure though, AP-EDA is the registrtion.

The remaining orders were taken by Qatar airways, were any more built for Airblue besides the one they took?
