777-3Q8 is offered by Macquarie AirFinance. I was wondering that if PIA takes this aircraft on dry lease and when the lease term ends, can PIA buy this aircraft?

If PIA was going to lease this aircraft then why is being put into storage and going into a maintenance hanger for checks???

I think another tender will be floated after Hajj for more planes and one after Christmas, one after Easter and so on and so on.

I hope PIA picks only those Airbus A320 family aircraft that are powered with CFM56 engines.

It would be cheaper to get around 10 years old A330s or B777s. and they can convert the Boeing order to 777X for delivery post 2020.

Probably 777-3Q8 is registration number of just one Aircraft.

777-3Q8 isn't registration. Its a model of airplane.
Anyways, does it means PIA is taking 1 aircraft only?

Correct, 3Q8 is for Air Austral. Only one is offered by Air Austral by this tender so 1 777 for dry lease.

As far as I know, Q8 models are those which Boeing Co. directly owns and those aircrafts are given to airlines on lease.

'Q8' is Boeing customer code for aircraft leasing company International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC).
