I got information is

In February 2002, the airline selected GE Aircraft Engines' (GEAE) GE90-94B engine to power the two 777-200ERs it is leasing from International Lease Finance (ILFC). The GE90-powered 777 is the first longer-range aircraft to enter service with the airline.

"We are pleased to be a part of the delivery of the first GE90-powered 777 at Vietnam Airlines," said Chaker Chahrour, general manager of the GE90 Project Department at GEAE. "The GE90 engines will provide Vietnam with unmatched flexibility and reliability as it undertakes non-stop extended-range twin-engine operations (ETOPS)."

The new 777s will have a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) of 656,000 pounds, requiring the 94,000 pound-thrust GE90-94B for non-stop flights from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam to Paris, France.
Thank you for the information Sir.
What about MTOW of BHX and 3 77W in PIA fleet, Obvious about LRS that they can fly upto 15-16 hrs non stop.

Was there a tender for a330/787 aircrafts?

I hope PIA get these soon. Even Yemenia airways can order a320neos and 9 a350-900, when their GDP is 36 billion, which is Pakistan budget. There is no reason PIA cannot do better.

It will take many months for tender to materialize so they should float one soon if they have not yet!

Might be a good time to finally change the topic of this thread to reflect the induction of two 777-200ERs from Aer Cap.
