Is there any reason why it is taking so long to return AP-BHV to service?

Today AP-BHV operated PK791 (ISB - BHX). It was a pleasant surprise to see the flight touch down about 15 minutes ahead of schedule. Here are a few photographs of AP-BHV's arrival.

I will post a few other photographs from my visit to BHX in the World Aviation Photos Forum later.

^ Nice photos - thank you for sharing.

In these photos AP-BHV engine covers still have stylised Urdu PIA logo.

Has PIA begun painting star & crescent on engine covers of wide body aircraft in airline's fleet?

The dry leased Airbus A320 and ATR 72-500 have star & crescent painted on engine covers.
