PIA Carries Out First Ever C Check on Airbus A320
Lahore: August 28, 2016 - PIA has successfully completed the first ever C Check of Airbus A320 at airline's engineering base in Karachi this morning.
During this maintenance exercise, carpet and seat covers of aircraft registered as AP-BLC have been changed along with deep cleaning of the entire cabin and washrooms.
By accomplishing this maintenance check, carried out by PIA's Engineering & Maintenance department, PIA has saved substantial amount of foreign exchange by utilising the capacity of its own facility and the expertise of its engineers and technicians.
PIA CEO Bernd Hildenbrand appreciated the commendable work, which was done utilising indigenous resources. This also is the basis to offer these engineering service to other airlines, not only within Pakistan but also from other countries, he said.
It is worth mentioning that PIA Engineering & Maintenance department has the capacity and capability to do all heavy maintenance checks which are regularly performed not only on airline's own aircraft but the facility is also provided to some international customers.

Re: PIA Performs Airbus A320 C Check For the First Time
Right now, PIA E&M can't get outside business due to EASA Part-145 maintenance approval suspension. Only regional airlines under South Asia Regional Initiative (SARI) umbrella can ask for maintenance of their aircraft.
PIA Engineering Business Development (EBD) under MRO, providing maintenance facilities to different airlines inside and outside Pakistan like Rayyan Air, YEMEN AIRLINE, UNITED AIRWAYS etc.

Also converted to all Economy? I can see a partition at the front, but is that for Business Class.
