The Airforce should Seriously reconsider reactivating AP-001 or Buying some old A340-600 or 777-200 for VVIP flights seeing how frequently the PM charters PIA 777s for this purpose

Is PIA going to continue using both old and new uniform designs?

The Boeing 777 landed in Lahore due to bad weather in Islamabad.

AP-BHW departed from Lahore at 4:56 PM and landed at Islamabad at 5:55 PM probably as ferry flight PK-8650 completed in one hour. There were reports that PM Sharif after arriving in Lahore left for his residence in Raiwind by helicopter.

Seems the B777 took longer route to avoid bad weather between Lahore and Islamabad.
