PIA to Acquire up to Three Wide-body Aircraft on Dry Lease

[CoyBoy]

Member Umer744 is living a much more interesting life than alot of people despite his disability, he has even flown on Concorde, I dont know if he is rich or his passion takes him that far but he has been there done that as far as flying on multiple airlines and aircraft types is concerned, and with cockpit visits galore as well.

flightradar24 is stupid

flightradar24 is stupid

Why? Its a free tool and I love it - with it I can easily check which Aircraft will just fly over my home before touching down at Frankfurt Airport.

I also find FlightRadar24 very useful to check recent movements of aircraft of various airlines especially Pakistani airlines.

In Pakistan due to numerous restrictions it's hard to get information about active and inactive aircraft in PIA fleet and other Pakistani airlines.

FlightRadar24 is very helpful in getting information about active and inactive aircraft of Pakistani airlines.

I agree. Flightradar24 is useful. It lets me know which aircraft and flying, sometimes that helps knowing the configuration, or if it's a new or old seat...very useful.

No Doubt its great, I frequently fly from Quetta & on flightradar24 i can easily check with PIA & Shaheen whether the flight departed for UET from ( KHI -LHE -ISB ) it really save my time & can reach reach Airport exactly on time.

Including ... you can use it when you are going to receive someone, so you can easily check the flight arrival.

BTW, why they did not paint star & crescent on Boeing 777 (AP-BMH) engine cover like it's done on A320 engine cover? Why such differences/varieties in livery?

Is registration AP-BMF issued to some aircraft?

Maybe registration AP-BMF was reserved for Vietnam Airlines Boeing 777-2Q8ER registration VN-A141 apparently not taken up by PIA.

AP-BMF for Boeing 777-2Q8ER registration VN-A141 of Vietnam Airlines.
AP-BMG for Boeing 777-2Q8ER registration VN-A149 of Vietnam Airlines.
AP-BMH for Boeing 777-2Q8ER registration VN-A150 of Vietnam Airlines.

BTW, Boeing 777-2Q8ER registration VN-A141 has stopped performing Vietnam Airlines flights.

Crescent also on AT7 engines, perhaps some one with aesthetic sense convinced them not to apply it anymore.

[Abbas Ali]

^ maybe that's the reason.

I think PIA Urdu logo should be slightly bigger in size and centered on B777 engine cover.

No offence but the Star and Cresent looks good only on the ATR72 engines

Flight VN773 SGN-SYD on VNA141 fly but never go PIA

I think the star and crescent doesn't look good on any aircraft. I'd rather have an Urdu PIA acronym on the Engines.
