Very busy summer season is happening, Hajj operation is also approaching fast, AP-BHV is not in air Yet. This is the same Aircraft Saad Rafiuque said will be in Air by January 23.

PIA needs to bring back AP-BID to service before Hajj operations.

This years hajj operation could be less intensive due to lesser number of people flying due to high cost.

AP-BHV is operational after completing C checks.

Today, PIA Boeing 777-300ER aircraft registration AP-BHV returned to service when it left Karachi at 7:15 PM as flight PK731 to Jeddah.

AP-BHV was inactive since arriving in Karachi as flight PK762 from Jeddah on March 21, 2023.

AP-BHV operational is good news, PIA now needs to see how much time and money is required to bring AP-BID back to service.

Since AP-BKX is given to Navy, so it can be removed from list of PIA Aircraft.

I hope above 3 B-777 will fly soon, even though if it requires some good amount of money to procure the GE engines and required spare parts, After the Roosevelt hotel deal with New York city, PIA might have some good amount of cash in hand to take care of these B-777 instead of putting new tender to dry lease almost same capacity / type Aicrcraft.

it is criminal negligence that three B-777 are sitting idle from years and years.

AP-BKV delivered on June 25, 2015.
AP-BKX delivered on June 12, 2015.
AP-BKZ delivered on April 11, 2015.

Above are delivery date of ATRs. Since 8 years will be completed by June 2023, PIA should return these to lessor.

Why they transferred to navy when they only have two operational ATR42s? Any idea?

ATR -72 are on 8 year lease, expiring in 2023. Last time ATR-72 flew with PIA was like 2 yeas ago or may be more.

Seems like PIA Is paying residual amount of lease and getting hold of it. Once PIA owns it, seems like they are transferring it to Navy.
