Not that it makes any difference, but for your information, most klm a330-200s have a 230t mtow. PH-AOK which will soon join the Shaheen fleet also has a 230t mtow. The max take off weight can only be increased to a maximum 233t for these particular aircraft.

Well predicted! According to The Express Tribune 10 more aircraft are to join Shaheen by December 2017 - two Airbus A330-200s and 8 narrow bodied aircraft (probably A320s).

^ I think the two A330-200 aircraft mentioned in that news report are AP-BMJ and AP-BMK that are part of four A330-200s inducted by Shaheen Air discussed in this topic.

AP-BMJ arrived in Karachi today and delivery of AP-BMK is expected in May or June.
