Maybe ap-bkz should be given a gold medal for making sure that livery on AP-BLW was completed, because without him talking to Shujat Azeem it would never have gotten done.

Maybe ap-bkz can get Shujat Azeem to change the font of Pakistan International and keep one type of font on the aircraft.

Since AP-BKV is the 1000th manufactured ATR..... it will receive a special decal of 1000th ATR in service near the passenger door !

Sounds great! Any information on the dates by which AP-BLU, AP-BLT and AP-BKV would be flying revenue flights for PIA?

Interesting - good move.

In 1971, 300th built de Havilland Canada DHC-6-300 Twin Otter delivered to PIA as AP-AWL sported special markings "Twin Otter No. 300".

^ Seems they've decided to continue flying A320 with mistakes in retro livery because general public and apparently most of PIA's own employees/officials don't know exactly how airline's 1960s livery looked like.

PIA officials responsible for this aircraft paintwork don't appear interested in knowing details of 1960s livery.

The airline officials seem happy with positive comments on social media coming from ignorant people who don't know 1960s livery details.
