Ten-year Dry Lease Term of PIA Boeing 777 (AP-BHX) Completed

Post by Abbas Ali »

On March 9, 2007, PIA got delivery of brand new Boeing 777-200ER registration AP-BHX on dry lease for ten years from ILFC (acquired by AerCap in 2013).

Now, is PIA going to extend the lease term or buy AP-BHX?

Can someone shed light on whether PIA would save money by buying it or keeping it on lease ?

Most likely PIA will continue having it just like they did A310 after expiry of lease.

when PIA dry leased the A310-324s they were already 11 years old, while BHX was brand new.

I am guessing but a new contract for another six years will be signed soon.
