I don't see anymore widebodies being delivered so how are you guys talking about B787?
It ain't coming yet guys. Maybe after a decade or something.
Seems PIA will be stuck with the 9 777 it has until they become like the A310's currently

Flights are only being increased for medium or short haul, but once few aircraft go on maintenance the schedule will hav to be modified.
