I find the current livery to ugly and a mixture of many liveries starting from the crap of 2004.

Contrast to this the 1960s or the attempted 1960s livery is far more stylish and classy.

I say paint all the aircraft like BLU and BLT.

I love the font and style of PAKISTAN INTERNATIONAL on both the aircraft.

This is not how rest of world deal with a commercial organization, no matter government owned. This is highly unprofessional practice.

As of corporate culture, Managing Director (MD) & the Chief Excessive Officer (CEO) should be the final authorities to take all decisions, with their professional team work.

Livery game should be stopped now. Further more will highly disgrace the airline. Managers should concentrate towards the Main Operation and work with internal affairs to maintain broken communication & management chain.

It is already discussed that customer (passenger) doesn't much care about your logo & livery. Your customer expect safe, low fare, on-time, and comfortable flight services with a neat & clean aircraft cabin.
I totally agree with you.

Is PIA planning to bring back the 60's livery for the entire fleet ?
It may be old but it looks better than the current crap we have

AP-BLT in retro livery with wrong flag direction on starboard side:



And, PIA was not painted near doors on starboard side in 1960s livery.

This is how it should be:
