Thank you for the info. Is it possible to know AP-BMG construction number?

BTW, today Vietnam Airlines Boeing 777-2Q8ER registration VN-A149 (construction number 32716) performed test flight VN5200 from & to Ho Chi Minh City. The test flight was completed in two hours & twenty-six minutes.

Probably a completely new PIA corporate identity to be unveiled after strategic investor (I hope a major international airline or company) buys 26% government shares in the airline & takes control of airline management :-k
