Are they referring to the 4 x 320 Tender that was opened and published last month ?

TC-ABP currently flying away from Pakistan with a flight number of PC51 rather than a PK number

Maintenance, lease duration end or something else?

^ Apparently replaced by sister ship TC-ANP that began performing PIA flights today when it departed from Karachi at 10:23 AM as flight PK-368 to Islamabad.

On March 6, TC-ANP was ferried as flight PC-50 from Istanbul (SAW) to Karachi where it landed at 6:47 AM.

Seems the four wet leased Pegasus Airlines Boeing 737-800s are not used for Peshawar flights for security reasons.

Excuse me for an irrelevant post, but looking at above links provided by abbas.. PIAs turn around timings are alarming.. I know, there are limitless causes but PIA seriously needs to address that. Most of the flights that reach destination on time, depart 15-30 mins late from the departure station( although they cover it up during flight but still it is an issue and should be addressed) and turnaround time that should be somewhere between the range of 40-50 mins for a 737 is more than 80-90 mins. They should either get a private handling agency to provide ramp and ground operations (which obviously i dont see happening) or hire ramp and ground operations managers from private handling agencies who have experience of working in a target based environment.

I guess this TC-CPA has Boeing sky interior. All pegasus aircrafts delivered after Nov, 2011 have sky interior.

Wet leased 738s have already been operating internationally on KHI-DXB for months.

^ according to Airline Route article, wet leased Boeing 737-800s international route network has been expanded to include Abu Dhabi and Mumbai.

In recent times, these wet leased Boeing 737-800s have performed flights to PIA international destinations including:

Muscat
Dubai
Dammam
Riyadh
Dhaka

But, so far, I have not seen them performing domestic/international flights to/from Peshawar.

Pegasus airline/aircraft insurance is unlikely to cover flying into Peshawar.

That's interesting, as this Aircraft is number 6 on the bidding document.
