Probably the second Airbus A320-214 under its Chinese registration B-6016 performed test flight MU-200 from Shanghai to Shanghai on July 21 before delivery to PIA.

Has anyone seen any modifications done to AP-BLC in terms of livery? i.e.have they removed that ugly looking crescent and star painted on the engine cowling.

Three questions.
1. When is it expected that these A-320s will operate to Skardu.
2. Any expected dates/months for the delivery of next 03 A320s approved for dry lease lately other than these three aircrafts.
3. What is the maximum number of flying hours these A320s can be flown in a 24 hour cycle according to experts. Just to know that are they being utilized to full capability. As they should be due to fuel saving and shortage of active aircrafts.
