Its not even certified yet! LOL

Perhaps after JAA and FAA certification in early 2006, we'll have a better idea as to when it *will* be delivered :)

With a revised bilateral air agreement in place between Canada and Pakistan there are strong indications that PIA will launch non-stop service from Pakistan to Toronto with their new Boeing 777-200LRs once they are delivered this spring. PIA was one of the launch customers for this model. PIA is currently flying three flights per week to Toronto via Manchester, but only two of them are allowed to take local traffic between Toronto and Manchester

Hmmmmm will PIA have to overfly USA when and if it does non stop flights to YYZ? If it does than there might be a problem unless they find a way to skip US airspace completely.

Cool you got a reply from Royal S. King. He has ome beautiful pictures on a.net. But unfortunately when ever I have emailed him I have never gotten a reply back. Im sure we will get some awsome 777LR pics from him.

My dad will be among the PIA crew to receive 777-200LR. He will leave on Feb. 10th for Seattle. He told me that its a week long venture but again not sure.
