[Karachi Aviator]

Retired/ Impounded/ Derelict aircrafts at Karachi airport of different airlines have been relocated from their initial location near the Ispahani hangar to the graveyard of Shaheen's Ex 737s:

This is even more exciting for plane spotters in my opinion.

Some of these aircraft have completed more than a decade or nearly a decade of storage at Karachi Airport.

[raihans]

which 737 is this airframe, never read any news about it before?

[Abbas Ali]

That Boeing 737 is apparently Eastern Skyjets Boeing 737-300 with UAE registration A6-ESS.


Eastern Skyjets Boeing 737-33A registration A6-ESS seen parked near burning cargo terminal/complex at Karachi Airport on June 9, 2014.


Eastern Skyjets Boeing 737-33A registration A6-ESS without engine(s) seen stored at Karachi Airport in year 2019.

Why are they not disposed of? Is the metal in the form of iron/steel/titanium or whatever is in these planes not sellable?

I guess, the same old attitude of, I don't give a damn or who is going to go through the headache of paperwork.

Very upset to see Shaheen fleet

[Tuti Fruiti]

I think Shaheen was destroyed not by owners but by hidden players in the market..the moment Shaheen died, the same time Serene Air emerged..The Serene Air even have the same A330 which was once with Shaheen..There is no mention who owns Serene Air..nothing written on Serene website about its owners..but one can guess who might be running Serene Air behind the curtain

[Amaad Lone]

why are these aircraft not being broken up and sold as scrap??

These will probably just attract birds and other wildlife to the area.

I guess now the two scrapped 777s and few A320s can be parked there.

Two retired boeing 737s of PIA still parked near the hangar probably being utilised by PIA for some sort of training I guess.

Those 2 737's are painted in PIA Training Centre (PTC) livery.
