First photo belong to a PIA B777-2ER-LR and second photo belong to PIA B777-3ER. In PIA Business Class, seat covers replaced with Grey color leather, and probably 2 or 3 aircraft left with Golden & Blue covers.

Not sure about maroon curtains, why appeared in Business Class out of routine.
Thank you. That means that PIA now has grey leather seats. Aha....

(BTW, I know it's a 772 and 77W. The 77W photo I took personally and one was found of the internet :D )

This means we need to wait to see this bird in EU skies. How will they get the certificate then ?

IF that is the case, its probably a routine thing and nothing out of the ordinary.

AP-BMG seat number different from PIA AP-BGJ K L Y Z and BHV W X BID but AP-BMG need permission to EU UK USA Canada before authorised fly there. I know anything because last time Thai A340-600 seat First class 8 Business class 60 Economy Class 199 total 267 in 2012 then B747-400 seat 10 F 40 C 325 Y total 375 but UK authorised only 267 passenger on 747400 and I asked check in counter for seat but they do not allow get seat passengers but I got special permission because I am airline staff ticket got me seat. I asked UK why explained me that they said that all airline need to apply permission change of aircraft and change of seats that why AP-BMG seat only 307 need apply least 3 three months or early to get permission fly. If you do not understand then up to you like and you look AP-BMG regular every time to KUL only.

The PML-N flags at AP-BMG's induction can be compared to those PPP jhandiyaan found inside Ispahani hangar few years ago. Awful!

I think it's not PML-N flag, it's white part of Pakistani flag merge with rest of the white part of the Aircraft, hence not clearly visible.

^Ammad, apparently Pineapple responded to this post including AP-BMG photo in which flags linked to PML-N can be seen:

Only flags of Pakistan and flags with PIA logo issued by the airline should be allowed at such ceremonies in my opinion.

Yes, that is correct PML-N flag should not be allowed in ceremonies like this. And this task should be shouldered on ASF as they are only capable to do this kind of thing, I think PIA management can't handle rogue political elements.

Also, AP-BMG in on A.NET getting many clicks and climbing onto list of favorite photo of last 24-48 hours.
