Down for scheduled/unscheduled maintenance. AP-BHM and AP-BHN were seen out of engines, rest two maybe due to spares availability.All the rest four are at Karachi for checks or not flying due to shortage of parts ?

Whatever spare parts needs to be fixed should be replaced asap for those 42's so that the 72's can make it possible to double up the frequency of the short haul flights already flown.

I'm guessing they've grounded BHI and BHH to bring back BHM and BHN online.

Possibly. They do this for the 310's, e.g recently how they did to bring back BEU by grounding BEG.

I know right they used to do it with the 737's all the time but why do they want to ground to BHH and BHI to bring back back BHM and BHN

Sorry to say but, conditions are devastating, not only for PIA existing fleet but for newly inducted A320s and ATR 72s.

Airbus A320-214 construction number 2758 under Czech registration OK-LEF performed test flight OK-9402 from & to Prague on April 28.

'OK' is IATA code for Czech Airlines.
Probably test/acceptance flights for the two A320s before delivery to PIA.
Both aircraft were accepted by PIA bid evaluation report.
