This is ridiculous using B-777. Again, the gifted A-310 should have been kept operational and well maintained rather than using it for parts

BTW, Business Class seat occupied by Prime Minister and General Raheel Sharif, was previously installed on PIA B747-3. These seats were removed later for B747 all economy seating configuration.

Technically, this arrangement doesn't look airworthy.

AP-BGL landed at Islamabad Airport at 1:18 AM on April 24. Apparently PK-2 from Islamabad to Riyadh did not use Iranian air space. The return flight PK-2 from Riyadh to Islamabad used Iranian air space.

Seems, AP-BGL after landing at Islamabad performed ferry flight PK-3092 from Islamabad to Karachi to get its seating configuration for commercial flights restored at Karachi. PK-3092 departed from Islamabad at 3:19 PM.

The Boeing 777 is now performing Karachi to London flight PK-787.
