A few months ago PIA was preparing AP-BID to return to service.

Maybe awaiting some leased engines to get it back in the air.

CEO of PIA conducted a detailed inspection of the arrangements for the upcoming UK operations, including a technical review of a Boeing 777 aircraft at the Asfahani Hangar in Karachi.

Accompanied by senior officials, the CEO issued directives to ensure the aircraft is fully upgraded and operationally ready in accordance with international standards.

Look forward to the same toilets, same seats, just cleaner, and hopefully no broken seats.

If PIA was to replace its 35 "CLUB CLASS" seats with Premium Economy seats in 2-4-2 layout, that would be much better. If possible to get newer seats, but obviously that would take more than three weeks.

I love the new Emirates Premium Economy seats on the their A350s. WOW.

Has to be one of the grounded 777s then.

Yes, ideally the premium economy should be in a 2-4-2 configuration but in PIA's case, that'll only make sense if the normal economy class is in a 3-4-3 configuration as well.

Why would anyone pay extra money for premium economy seats only to share the row with 3 other persons when the normal economy class has only 3 seats in the middle.

PIA needs to switch to a 3-4-3 configuration for the normal economy class as well then a 2-4-2 configuration in premium economy would make sense.

The LR's are mainly used for Canada and Saudi Arabia, and most of the times it is only one Boeing 777-200LR flying. Although not impossible, I highly doubt they would use the LR for flights to Manchester.

Did BGY go tech? 25th July ISB-YYZ flight cancelled then was the flow to KHI, now returning back to ISB.

Most likely AP-BMG or AP-BID. I also do think they will make efforts for AP-BHW to return to the active fleet maybe after UK flight operations resume and they start earning more revenue. Do you know anything about BGJ? With 6/12 Boeing 777's currently operating it is a huge shame that around 2020 all 12 of the 777s were up and running. The airline will struggle operating to and from 3 UK cities and from all of its other destinations with the lack of 777 equipment. They need to make strong and informed decisions not fast and inaccurate of how to fix the fleet and bring them all back slowly into the skies. No point sadly counting AP-BGL as apart of the inactive fleet anymore, most likely it will never return to the skies and if it were to it would be the last aircraft in order of return due to the extensive damages it faced. AP-BHW and AP-BID need returning the bare minimum in my opinion as it would ease the work on the other aircraft. We don't want PIA fleet to be suffering for UK flights like the way AP-BGY has been working non stop back and from Canada like a dog due to the PIA management not being able to keep BGZ flying or even to service it. I can imagine the ruined state of that plane (its flying from YYZ-KHI as I type this..)
