Suleman sb,AA.first,thanks for the time to write to me with your idea.surely,we are in the process of evaluation and 787-9 is very much one of the options vs 777X.
I appreciate,you taking the time for your national carrier.

Re: A310 Fleet Replacement
Nice to hear that
But Dry leasing Aircraft is not a long term solution

Re: A310 Fleet Replacement
^ Option of long term dry lease is available as long term solution.
These days most of the airlines including industry giants like Emirates acquire aircraft on dry lease.
Airlines return older dry leased aircraft to lessor and replace them with newer dry leased aircraft.
Links to long lists of aircraft dry leased to Emirates:

Re: A310 Fleet Replacement
Interesting to see
But with Emirates they get to lease brand new planes that have just rolled out from the factories and PIA will end up getting 10 year old birds from some airline that abused them

PIA can replace them after six/eight year dry lease term.Pakistan-1 wrote:PIA will end up getting 10 year old birds from some airline that abused them
BTW, aircraft often gets refurbished and/or undergoes maintenance checks before leasing company handovers it to new lessee.

Re: A310 Fleet Replacement
But still it's not as good as leasing or Buying a brand new plane because then you can customise it your airline's needs from day one

Re: A310 Fleet Replacement
Airbus A330-200 powered with General Electric CF6 engines should be preferred.
