Five 1998 built A300-622Rs stored by Thai

Post by Amaad Lone »

Five A300-622Rs are currently stored by Thai.

All five are end 1998 built serial numbers 782 784 785 786 787

These planes in all economy layout would be perfect for Saudi Arabian and Dubai routes.

They currently have a two class layout of 260 and with single class class I am sure PIA can put in around 290 seats.

Cheap capacity, inexpensive fuel might be a exactly what PIA needs until better times.

PIA does not have money to buy planes.
It's useless to get old planes as they will be gas-guzzlers.

Only way is to have fuel-efficient planes on ALL routes, not just some routes. That's the way to profitability.

Umar are you sure an A300-600R consumes 6,000 kilos per hour. I remember A300-B4 use to consume 6,500 kg, while A310-300s are at 4,500 kg per hour.

Plus with fuel cost reduced by 50% the operations of the A300-600 might become viable again.

All economy layout of 290 would be good for Saudi and Middle East routes.

I dont know about HS-TAH, but 1998 built A300-622Rs do not have GE engines, they have PW4158s.
