[Charliedelta11]

Abbas in recent days, how many ATR 42's have been active? Any idea?

And correct me if I am wrong, but with the return of the 2 wet leased 737's we are currently at :

1 B743, 9 777's, 5 A310's, 4 A320's, 2 ATR72 and 5 ATR 42's ?

[Abbas Ali]

^ Two Air Via A320s (LZ-MDA & LZ-MDR) continue to perform PIA flights as wet leased aircraft.

Don't know total number of active ATR 42s in PIA fleet.

Look at this photo;

The tail looks perfect

[TAILWIND]

The green is too dark bordering black.......may be they should lighten it a bit, like the pashmina tail in 90s.

Painted and operational within three days. Pretty good.

[Sahil Ali]

I must say that was very quick. I hope AP-BLU and the remaining 2 72's which are scheduled to arrive in this month lifts off for karachi soon. Expected arrival of AP-BLU is by next week.

Apparently the sixth A-320 is expected to arrive on 12th May 2015 reg. AP-BLW

AP-BLW will come before AP-BLU (5th A320)?

So by this tender effort PIA will be getting six A320's of Czech Airline with registrations OK-LEE, OK-LEF, OK-LEG, OK-MEH, OK-MEI and OK-MEJ and 5 ATR-72 out of which two are delivered. Please confirm.

As far as I know, under this bidding invitation PIA will acquire ten Airbus A320-200s and five ATR 72-500s.

One A320 and two ATR 72s already delivered to PIA under this bidding invitation.
