Re: PIA to Dry Lease Narrow-body and Turboprop Aircraft
What is the difference in PIA A320 Club and Economy class? Is it a big improvement or just slightly wider seats? Do they have a proper recline?
I am trying to book a ticket to DXB. I've already got a Business ticket on PIA booked from ISB to DXB, but that's on an A310. What is the A320 like? It only costs 3000 PKR more than economy. Does that mean something?

^ interesting development.
Maybe PIA now wants it with newer TCAS system for UAE flights?

Yes wider seats as its 4 vs 6 in row. I think also reclines more. For $30 its no brainer. However check fir taxes, as business class pay more taxes for some airports and sometime they save on fuel surcharges.

Re: PIA to Dry Lease Narrow-body and Turboprop Aircraft
Varieties/mistakes in current and retro livery sported by PIA aircraft clearly indicate that the airline does not have serious/sensible/qualified people for corporate branding work.
Differences/inconsistencies/inaccuracies in colour schemes/streaks/stripes/fonts in PIA logos on signboards, ground equipment, printed material etc. also reveal their incompetence and lack of interest.

AP-BLT (wearing retro livery) was last seen with full white Radome.Abbas Ali wrote:PIA Airbus A320-216 registration AP-BLZ at Lahore Airport pushed back to perform flight PK-322 to Quetta. Note its radome with black paint.[/b]
Most probably, Its Radome was cannibalized/interchanged with AP-BLZ.

Re: PIA to Dry Lease Narrow-body and Turboprop Aircraft
Why add the crescent and the star on the engines of the A320 and ATR72 fleet when all the other types are not carrying the hideous feature.
It makes the aircraft look cluttered and tacky.
While at it I would request the PIA management to remove the golden 1970s font Pakistan International from the livery.
We all know what PIA stands for.
