Re: PIA to Acquire up to Three Wide-body Aircraft on Dry Lease
Could an airline, after getting aircrafts on dry lease, buy that aircraft from the lessor? For example, PIA got A320s on dry lease, after 8 years, can PIA buy those aircrafts from Ireland leasing company?

Re: PIA to Acquire up to Three Wide-body Aircraft on Dry Lease
^ Yes, if the two sides agree, lessee can buy the aircraft from lessor at the end or even before the end of lease term.
In the past, PIA has bought dry leased aircraft including:
Two Boeing 747-200Bs from TAP Portugal.
One Airbus A300 from Air France.
Five Boeing 747-300s from Cathay Pacific.
Six Airbus A310-300s from Airbus Asset Management.

Re: PIA to Acquire up to Three Wide-body Aircraft on Dry Lease
Can three brand new Boeing 777s be offered on dry lease by The Boeing Company to PIA with financial support of Export-Import Bank of the United States?
Maybe delivery slots of five brand new Boeing 777-300ER aircraft can be utilised for acquisition of three brand new Boeing 777s on dry lease?
The five brand new Boeing 777-300ER aircraft were due for delivery to PIA in 2015.

Re: PIA to Acquire up to Three Wide-body Aircraft on Dry Lease
But they haven't opened the tender, so looks like they have made up mind about getting b777. Per tender requirement, A330-300 fits as it offers 335 seats in 2 class, well above 300 required.Abbas Ali wrote:An official informed PTV News today that three dry leased Boeing 777 aircraft will be inducted in PIA fleet.

So far, no information in news media about the result of bids opening on June 8.
Sometime ago, media was invited and informed about a bidding invitation result.
