What would the be next step now? Is there any official or unofficial date on which these aircrafts are going to be ferried to Pakistan?

Thanks for useful input.

Powerplant information for those aircraft is from http://www.planespotters.net/ and it could be wrong.

I'm specifically asking about the ATR-72's if anyone has an update related to the aircrafts.

First, PIA will sign letter of intent(LOI) with the leasing company, then they will announce dates for deliveries. According to the tender for turboprops, deliveries should be not later than march 2015.

My cousin is a PK ATR Pilot....he hasn't mentioned anything as such (maybe he doesn't know anything about it) but I'll ask him when I see him in a few days.... :thumbs_up:

In news link http://nation.com.pk/national/30-Dec-20 ... in-january
PIA is also engaged in talks with different companies to obtain 777 Boeing planes on lease which are likely to be inducted in its fleet till March.

The deliveries are still not final :-k

and I thought PIA was buying those 5 773ERs not LEASING ...

My dear brothers of History of PIA.

How does an airline get five brand new 777-300ERs from Boeing when it is not able to clear $100 million in fuel bills to P.S.O

You do not have to be a finance genius to figure this out.

PIA will be lucky to get ten year old 777s to replace its already grounded 747s.

Amaad Lone thank you for reminding everyone of that, but one more important factor to remind everyone is whats the point of gettign 777-300ERs when it cannot fill the ones it already has. More suited to PIAs lack of frequency would be smaller (cheaper) jets such as 787 or A330 of which a higher volume could be purchased (10 787s instead of 5 777) and used to double frequency ie make every flight a daily flight instead of 2/3 times a week. This will give passengers the flexibility they need.

now that 2015 has come, it's time for us to know whether or not those new 5 B777 will be coming or not.

And seriously, start using other 777's rather than only the LR's on Toronto/New York routes, and perhaps increase frequency, and increase the punctuality of ALL flights (if they want to retain their customers, otherwise they will keep leaving for the ME carriers for international travel).

PIA management + Pilots need to take note of this, otherwise they may continue to experience financial difficulties.....
