Photo on following link shows ATR 72-500 construction number 1037 wearing PIA livery with French registration F-WNUG sticker at Toulouse - Francazal Airport, France. Photo was taken on June 5, 2015.
Apparently the website is showing incorrect Pakistani registration AP-BKY for this ATR.
i think they should get 5 more ATR-72. Instead of once daily service or thrice weekly of domestic with a320/b777, they can do double daily or daily with atr-72. Plus it's cheaper to operate etc.

I saw this landing rwy 12L on friday morning. Could not take the picture as i was driving. Looked stunning, bold PIA on a green fin added lots emotions =D>
BLA might be operating PK 270 to Delhi today so the plane will have its first visit to India.
Btw what's the status of Ap-BLS,it's been more than five days since its delivery but still no update on its first official flight.
