PIA to Acquire up to Three Wide-body Aircraft on Dry Lease

AP-BMG'S Business class. I was right! It's not the flat beds but recliners. Photo taken at Kuala Lumpur.

[Amaad Lone]

the business class leg room on BMG seems better then the other nine 777s in the PIA fleet.

Does PIA have 35 seats in the same amount of space that BMG has 25 seats, or is the club class section on these planes smaller??

What About AP-BMH?
Does that plane will come same specifications and seat layout?

What Paint the new aircraft will carry before starts flying for PIA?
Retro or New livery ?

[shamxa]

If it's another retro one I won't be able to tell what's new and what's old!

[Sherry3002]

It's retro I believe.

[CoyBoy]

Why another retro?

[Pakistan-1]

Time to send tweets to people at PIA with reasons why BMH shouldn't be retro :p

I already emailed Mr Shujaat Azeem
Here is what I wrote

Hello Sir,
I must say that AP-BMG with her retro livery looks amazing but I have heard roomers that AP-BMH will also be painted in the 60's retro livery.
Me and many other aviation enthusiasts agree that it shouldn't happen because it Takes away the uniqueness of BMG and also make the retro livery less unique because more planes are painted with it but if it is a must for BMH to be painted in a retro livery why not paint her in a livery from an other era in PIA's History? A good one will be the green and gold livery from the 80's or the ultra modern sports livery from the 90's .
I hope you understand what I mean and can convince the PIA management to rethink their decision of painting AP-BMH in the 60's livery

Thanks a lot!

I hope they listen to you Pakistan-1.

Also, I think it's a bit unfair on Business class passengers who pay lakhs of rupees to fly PIA to find out only when they board that their 7+ hour flight is operated with old recliners. You pay for a flatbed, you get a recliner. I know my reaction If I was hoping for a flatbed and then get these recliners.

Flights operated by BMG and BMH should also be cheaper for Club class pax.
