I read somewhere that PAF has plans to convert this A319 to special surveillance aircraft.

Maybe an air ambulance.
Make the 100% correct decision 100% of the time.

PAKISTAN AIR FORCE ACQUIRES AIRBUS A319
The Pakistan Air Force has acquired a single Airbus A319-112 medium-range narrow body airliner (current registration: LY-TKT, built in 1999) from Avion Express of Lithuania. The aircraft arrived in Pakistan three days ago.
The Air Force’s final plans for the plane are currently unknown, but the aircraft will be used for multirole limited Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), utility, transport and medevac roles as well as Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) and Signals & Electronic Intelligence (SIGINT & ELINT) missions. There were earlier rumours that the PAF intends to convert the aircraft into an aerial tanker for mid-air refuelling, but this is highly unlikely.

PAF had one Airbus A310 initially civil reg AP-OOI. lots of pilots trained by PIA using SIM and flight training but hardly used by them let's hope they use this A319 which is already 20 year old

Even airbus might not have thought of so many roles for A319.......looks to be a cover storybnm wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 6:40 am PAKISTAN AIR FORCE ACQUIRES AIRBUS A319
