PIA look for wide-body aircraft because of AP-BGY AP-BGZ AP-BHV, W & BID fly to JFK soon while all leased aircraft fly to other place.

PIA will probably lease a 777-300ER similar to AP-BMS which has a 3-4-3 layout in economy and would probably deploy it on the Saudi routes pulling out smaller 777-200ERs for Europe.
I do not think PIA will introduce a new type i.e A330 or 787

Re: PIA Invites Bids to Acquire on Dry Lease Up to Three Narrow-body and One Wide-body Aircraft
As for the narrow bodies maybe its a good idea to finally introduce the A321-200 either NEO or CEO.
Introduce it two class layout 16/170 and use it for Far East routes to Kuala Lumpur and maybe attach Singapore to it, make it like a triangle flight. PIA has enough 170 seat A320s and should introduce the larger version.
Fuel efficient NEO version could serve routes like Lahore-Hong Kong-Lahore, Lahore-Kuala Lumpur-Singapore-Lahore, Lahore-Bangkok-Lahore Lahore-Beijing-Lahore with low fuel cost and nearly 200 seats and these 5-6 hour flights could be good revenue generation source for PIA.

Dynamics of Market have changed dramatically. -- PIA should shrug off this tender.
