Shaheen Air currently have 4 Aircrafts in its Fleet.
Airbus A330-200 = (2)
Airbus A320-200 = (2) ... While Wetleased A319 already landed in Tarbes , France as they were returned to lessor AerCap.

On August 7, Shaheen Air Airbus A320 registration AP-BLJ was also returned to lessor when it arrived at Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen International Airport as ferry flight NL-3 from Karachi.

AP-BLJ was inactive in recent days. Probably A320 to undergo maintenance checks by Turkish Technic before starting a new career with some other airline.

Such reduction in Shaheen Air fleet can end airline's flight operations.

An airline in Pakistan, under country's National Aviation Policy, needs to have at least:

Five airworthy aircraft for international flight operations.

Three airworthy aircraft for domestic flight operations.
