They just can't . They get a good load from Pk and send their a330 to karachi and lahore instead of a320

They suspend their operations previously even that time they used to get good load ... they have got some operational I think with PAK CAA (not sure) .. now they wet leased some A330 and using them now on PAK/UK routes.

Don't know abt their future plans.

Maybe a reason can be that saudia has now conquered the passenger load and there fare is almost as same as saudia ,pia . Another can be that there are rich people is Saudia arabia so they neglect low cast carriers and expect some lieflat and comfort on their flight

On October 21, flynas returned its two Airbus A330s (CS-TRI & CS-TFZ) to lessor Hifly.

Current status of flynas A330 registration CS-TMT also on lease from Hifly is unclear.

flynas used A330 aircraft for Pakistan flights also.

it was very ambitious for fly nas to wet lease wide body aircrafts to restart pakistan, uk and kuala lumpur routes.
what was the reason for their first exit from pakistan?
my impression is:they got it wrong abt the widebodies. they should have continued their pakistan routes with their a320

The airline did not operate flights between Jeddah and Lahore today.

The leased PK-LHG has returned to its homebase Jakarta.
