Qatar Airways have 29 A330. Maybe they will start giving it slowly as they get new A350/787. They also have A340s which can help PIA serve long routes (NA?). But I doubt that will happen though. And their old A320s as they get the new A320 neo in few years.

Air Canada here started giving its old 767 and A320 family to its new company Rouge. As it gets new planes (soon 737 MAX) and 787, it is giving old planes there, because Rouge is cheap airline.

Qatar can present itself as premium airline and PIA as cheap airline (vs Air Arabia etc)

But I don't know how it will happen, consider Air Canada fully owns Rouge and Qatar, if it buys, will own 26% share and be in control of management. So PIA will have to purchase the aircrafts from Qatar I suppose. I hope they take our 777LR and give us 777ER/multiple A330 instead. We don't need LR range, more crafts/seats.

As far as my information Al Bakar (CEO Qatar airways) rejected any plans of buying 26% shares due to several reasons and i believe rightly so.
What are the long term plans of PIA???
Countries like UAE , Qatar, even India plans their fleet as well as expansion of airports too so they can easily handle all types and all fleet members of airlines.

No brother ..... those air asia 320s are being procured under the tender before this one which was for 5 turboprops and 10 narrow body aircrafts !

This is a separate tender.

What are the best possible aircraft now for PIA to fly on medium haul to long range ?
We are now heavily dependents on 09 Boeings which are backbone of PIA but in longer terms we need more fuel efficient long haul aircrafts....
