Aircraft parked at Lahore Airport??

[turbotraker]

Sorry if this is in wrong forum. Can anyone help me to identify a tri star aircraft parked at Lahore? It's black and white in colour with what looks like 'ZAMZAM' written near cockpit windows.
I saw this a/c last year and again this year, any info would be helpful.

Was it the TriStar seen in photo on following link?

The last known operator of this Lockheed L-1011 TriStar 250 was Jordan's Skygate International (www.skygate-int.com) and it was registered in Kyrgyzstan as EX-056 and named 'Zamzam'.

Most probably it operates or operated flights for Pakistan's Askari Aviation www.askariaviation.com to transport United Nations peace keeping troops/force contributed by Pakistan's armed forces/police.

This particular TriStar (construction number 193C-1237) was built in 1983 and delivered to Delta Airlines as N1739D.

Foreign aircraft seen at Pakistani airports can be discussed in 'Pakistan Aviation Forums' so I am moving this topic there.

Yes, They are flying for UN. Currently is/was on a charter to fly the troops back from Sudan to LHE/ISB and news ones back to Sudan. They did Hajj flights also, motly from Central Asian States. A pic is posted in one the topics in photo section.

SAM Intercontinental, a charter airline based in Bamako, Mali, is believed to be the current owner of Lockheed L-1011 TriStar 250 (construction number 193C-1237), ex-registration EX-056, sported name 'Zamzam' during its service with Skygate International. Most recently this aircraft was registered in Mali as TZ-SPA.

The aircraft in recent times has operated flights for Pakistan's Askari Aviation and also flew Hajj flights for some unknown operator.

Hi Abbas, sorry for posting in wrong forum. Wasn't sure if this aircraft was PIA/Pakistan related. Thank you for your information regarding the TriStar. I saw it two years on the trot parked at same location. Was wondering if the aircraft was still in use and by whom.
Your information is of great help.
