I can't help but notice how that theme seems very similar to the tail on the new etihad livery with a bit of blue?

might be a better idea to keep this thread dedicated to the four ex KLM A330s while the Shaheen livery issue can be put on a new thread.

Shaheen Air's last A330-200, AP-BMJ, joined fleet on April 19 and till date, it has not operated a single revenue flight. Also, one of the two already delivered AP-BMI & BML is under utilized, only one is almost fully occupied and the other one alternatively operates on LHE-KHI-KUL route.

Isn't this wastage of resources? Nevertheless, they are going to start Bangkok route from May 20 but still, i think they are not fully well planned to utilize these new birds properly as of date.

Dear Uzair

I think your idea don't work in Pakistan as our leaders do not have creditability like Norwegian
I love to see pictures and names of our great leaders of independence time like our Quid-Azam, Millat, Allama, Fatima Jinnah but not anyone else after 1955.

Even i was surprised when they named Peshawar airport after person who was against Quid-e-Azam and jinnah sb views about Pakistan.

where i think we should name airports after our best players, actor or singers . for exmaple : Jahangir Khan,Peshawar Airport

he won the World Open six times and the British Open a record ten times. From 1981 to 1986, he was unbeaten in competitive play. During that time he won 555 matches consecutively, the longest winning streak by any athlete in top-level professional sports as recorded by Guinness World Records.

We are proud of you Jahangir bhai and for similar players
