By the way, this A330 was offered by Standard Chartered Aviation Finance to PIA under airline's bids invitation in 2017.

Maybe offered again under a later bids invitation.

Both Kualalumpur & Bangkok have enough traffiic to sustain 777 & A320 from KHI respectively.
Only issue is with PK852 (ISB-PEK-NRT) which cann't sustain even twice weekly tripple seven. Either to lease A321 or low-density A330-200 which can help in filling up all seats

What about the tenders floated months back to acquire some wide body aircrafts? I think no deal has been made to get something out of that.
