Why aren't they using the A330 for flights to Jeddah from Karachi and Islamabad?

They can position the aircraft for Jeddah flights from Karachi and Islamabad by operating the aircraft on domestic flights between Karachi & Lahore and between Karachi & Islamabad.

Like for example:

Lahore->Jeddah->Karachi->Jeddah->Lahore.
Lahore->Karachi->Islamabad->Jeddah->Islamabad->Karachi->Lahore.

I think they will also need maybe one more A330 for operating wide-body aircraft Jeddah flights from Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.
