AP-BFY last flight to be held tomorrow

Post by 747-300 »

Hi guys this is to inform you that AP-BFY the last PIA's 747-300 will be traveling to Lahore from Karachi as a positioning flight at 3:30pm as confirmed by my strong sources inside PIA. Will try my hardest to spot her and we already have decided in PSK what to do.
Any more information on this topic would be much appreciated :)

Thank you !

It is confirm for the time being that Yes 747 is going to be repositioned tomorrow . And it is going to be a ferry flight with just the management people on board.

Lets hope that it does come this time. Ameen

It should depart at day time so nice photos can be taken at both KHI and LHE for this AP-BFY last flight.

PIA website showing 8304 as a passenger flight on 31st Dec. Lets see now if it comes tomorrow or on 31st.
But all seats are blocked on it . Can it be a full flight or maybe they have blocked all the seats on it but bringing it as a passenger flight ?
Departure time on 31st is 13:00 hours.

I received this info this morning and was told it was first going to be operated on Wed, then due to some administrative reasons it was moved to Thu. However I was told it would not be carrying pax as its no longer certified to do the same and the CAA has granted permission for one last flight.

As Moin bhai suggested, this might not be a revenue flight, only farewell flight.

Come on Abdus. I was over excited after reading your comment but anyway I just got to know it will depart as per the schedule which is tomorrow. I am sure you can't possibly miss on this Queen. Be ready for tomorrow . It will depart between 1 and 3 pm. Do capture it. Goodluck.
