The picture taken from the hanger shows three ATR72-500s not two.

Probably the final fifth one is also ready for delivery.

Sorry state of affairs at PIA is reflected from the fact no one has bothered to update the fleet page on the Company website :very_mad: , no mention of the newly inducted A320s and ATR 72s however B737 still shown as part of the fleet.

Been over a week when the mistakes due to be corrected, pics in this state should not have happened, plane wears a second 60th anniversary sticker near nose, weird, and no mention from Asuspine of the mistakes in the livery in his comments.

I would not have recommended applying that 60 years celebrations logo anywhere on retro livery aircraft.

The aircraft should have been painted accurately in 60s livery without any additional markings/logo.

That small 60 years celebrations logo would have looked okay on entire PIA aircraft fleet in current livery in case the airline did not paint an aircraft in retro livery.

first of all its not aircrafts its aircraft. Aircraft is a plural already, you dont have to add an s to it.

Now that I have given you an English lesson, may I suggest you go to an eye doctor for a check up.

See that's what u are just good at. Criticizing. God u try so hard to bring down the name of our national flag carrier all the time. U could have just glued to taking and giving English lessons and made yourself useful. Why don't u apply for MD PIA so that u can make things better? I can see the potential in u :P

Sahil nice to see your enthusiam, but its a bit much, getting a handfull of used planes and youre acting as if they are buying 787 or A350, the A320 debuted in airline service in 1988, if you are a teen thats ancient history for your age group.
