Relax. Aircraft acquisitions are never clear till the end time at PIA. Today you dont know whats going on, and the next day you see aircraft painted in PIA livery. So have some patience and pray for the best :thumbs_up:

The three A320s in PIA fleet were also not all delivered within the given date in tender :-k . Specially AP-BLD was delivered in october, while the date given in the tender was not later than August or July. Probably the date 31st March is just for the first delivery, which initiates the delivery procedure. May be. :-k
