Is PIA planning to change its livery again?

Post by PIA757 »

Just wanted to know if PIA are actually planning change their livery again :?: as they usually do have habit of doing so. also according to wikipedia they are "PIA ordered 5 more Boeing 777-300ER aircraft with delivery starting in 2015 which will wear a new livery" . I know wiki is not all right and neither do i trust its sources about PIA sometimes.

Just want someone to ensure me that this isnt going to happen and its all lies. :mrgreen: #-o

It was initially revealed by PIA official Facebook page, in which they said "a touch of 1980s livery coming back". Later, after a few months new logo and streak inaugurated. So, we can expect a new livery because there is no match between current livery and new logo/streak. :)

BTW, PIA doesn't paint new livery at once. Aircraft get new livery on their scheduled maintenance check, which contain complete new exterior paint.

Well, in my opinion restoring PIA's original color must be appreciated though such repainting of livery to be performed during D check when the whole paint is peeled off and a fresh paint is applied.
