Boeing 747 operators to Pakistan

Post by CoyBoy »

With AHS Cargo the only remaining carrier and those are on their way out too, thought of compiling a list of who flew them here and types used.

Please add some more information and history you know of.

Air China = 747SP during part of 90s, saw predecessor CAAC' 200 once in early 80s not sure if it was used regularly

Philippine Airlines = 747-200 operated from 70s to early 90s

Singapore Airlines = 747-300 from mid 80s to late 90s to KHI, some years gap inbetween, saw a 200 once, 400 seen by another

Thai = 747-200 to KHI during early 80s, said to have used 400 to LHE at times

Sri Lankan as Air Lanka = 747-200, short while in 80s

Iran Air = 747SP short while in 90s, saw a 100/200 once

Iraqi Airways -= 747-200C was used when loads were high, saw one in 1990

Gulf Air = 747-200 short while in mid 80s

Saudia = 747-100, 300, 400, saw an SP once in the 80s but could have been a VIP flight

Did KLM use 747-300? I cant differentiate between 200SUD and that from distance.
