I think at least four of these A320s will replace four Pegasus Airlines Boeing 737-800s currently on wet lease to PIA.

Looks like they were offered two almost brand new A321s cn7119 and cn7260 (Air Berlin) but the bids were rejected due to not meeting lease term requirement. :very_mad:

I think PIA can get only 4 of these due to tender restriction. All PIA can do is to get hold of First four as soon as they can. Two of them are from Russia, one from Spanish low cost and last one is from Philippine.

What is the current CFM engine variants on the PIA existing 320 Fleet

The 2 offered by ICBC have CFMI CFM56-5B4/P
While the rest have CFMI CFM56-5B4/3

^ Two PIA A320s i.e. aircraft registrations AP-BLY and AP-BLZ have newer CFM56-5B6 series engines hence their designation Airbus A320-216.

The airline's other nine A320s have CFM56-5B4 series engines hence their designation Airbus A320-214.

The A320s offered under this bidding invitation also have CFM56-5B4 series engines hence their designation Airbus A320-214.

Overall, I guess there's not too much difference in these engines for maintenance work or spares inventory.

These A321-200s would have been perfect to serve Kuala Lumpur direct from Pakistan.

Or maybe re-start Bangkok from the four cities of Pakistan with a code share with a Thai airline for the Far East cities.

Dry Lease of Narrow-Body Twin Jet Aircraft
Number of Aircraft: Up to four (04)
Seating Configuration: 150 plus (two class configuration)
Delivery Schedule: 2017
Vintage: Not more than 12 years at delivery*
Lease Period: 6 years

According to lease term of this tender, PIA can't go beyond getting 4 Aricraft. Ideally, PIA should expedite the process of getting first four Aircraft and move on. Between, first two Aircraft secure full financial points of 50, meaning they are offered at pretty competitive prices.
