By the way it says 777-300ER joining Dec later this year, isn't that a bit early than what we were expecting i.e. 2008 delivery.

The article also says that PIA will be the first to operate the entire 777 family.

I usually expect inconsistency in aviation articles written for the general media but I never expected that Boeing would make the same mistake.

I think they talk about the actual B777 familly they are selling: this means B777-200ER, B777-200LR, B777-300ER : So I think PIA will be the first if no B777-200Lr is delivered to others airlines before the delivery of first 777-300ER to PIA.
