Only international routes for PIA are:

Toronto, Jeddah, Dhahran, Riyadh, Medina, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Muscat, Kuwait, Bahrain, Doha Beijing and Kuala Lumpur.

Istanbul suspended.

14 cities.

Did I miss any??

I think even South Asia has no flights, none to Colombo, Kathmandu, or even Dhaka.

Sad sad sad.

shows the true picture of PIA operational fleet.

When were the last two ATR72 flown??

Apparently ATR 72-500 registration AP-BKX performed last commercial flights for PIA in August 2022. AP-BKX joined Pakistan Navy in 2023.

AP-BKV in-active since February 2020.
AP-BKZ in-active since August 2020.

On October 17, PIA Airbus A320 aircraft registration AP-BLY apparently as ferry flight PK6214 departed from Dubai at 12:47 AM and arrived in Karachi at 3:29 AM. Dubai to Karachi flight completed in 1 hour 42 minutes.

AP-BLY was on the ground at Dubai Airport since September 30.

AP-BKV in-active since February 2020.
AP-BKZ in-active since August 2020.

Both aircraft were on lease, did PIA stop paying the lease payments?

Plus the 72 seat aircraft would have been perfect for shorter routes like Lahore-Quetta Islamabad-Quetta Lahore-Multan Karachi-Multan

Why ground them and keep paying lease payments?

Probably PIA ATR 72s stored at Karachi Airport need landing gear overhaul.

On May 16, 2020, PIA invited bids for complete overhaul of landing gear shipset installed on ATR 72-500 aircraft registrations:

AP-BKV (stored at Karachi Airport since 2020)
AP-BKX (transferred to Pakistan Navy in 2023)
AP-BKY (returned to leasing company in December 2020)
AP-BKZ (stored at Karachi Airport since 2020)
