ACT Cargo Airbus A300 probably was impounded by PIA due to non-payment of dues to PIA Engineering for aircraft maintenance or engines' lease payment.

Notice by PIA also appeared in March 6, 2016, for the auction of structure of ACT Cargo Airbus A300B4-203 freighter (TC-ACY) without engines and cockpit equipment at Karachi Airport.

The Airbus type in that notice also was incorrectly mentioned as A310.

Following photo shows AP-BGN at Karachi Airport in 2014. This Airbus A310-300 with construction number 676 was built in 1993. PIA acquired it on ten-year dry lease from Airbus Asset Management in 2003 and purchased it in 2012.
