Registrations for PIA's new Boeing 777-340ERs & -240ER

Post by Abbas Ali »

Following are registrations for PIA's first two Boeing 777-340ERs.

AP-BHV - Boeing 777-340ER, c/n 33778, l/n 601, due for delivery in December 2006.

AP-BHW - Boeing 777-340ER, c/n 33779, l/n 611, due for delivery in February 2007.

And, I got following info from my friend Alexandre Avrane - AeroTransport Data Bank

AP-BHX - Boeing 777-240ER, c/n 35296, l/n 613, due for delivery in January 2007.

PIA is acquiring this aircraft on lease from International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC). Click here to see ILFC press release.

I think Boeing 777-240ER, c/n 35296, l/n 613, will be AP-BHX. I will re-confirm it from Alexandre.

First airline to operate all three types of 777s.

777-300ER
777-200ER
777-200LR

So any idea which 747s these three 777s will replace??

Are the 747-240Ms going before the oldest 747-367s???

And the third 300ER is supposed to be delivered in 2008 I heard? That a bit way off isn't it? Why such a long gap in between?

Also anything further on that rumour of PIA getting a few of SIA's 773ER's in exchange for its 200LR's? It was mentioned here sometime back but most dismissed it as a rumour, whereas while I was in London, Mohd Ali (Aer Pak) told me its not a rumour and my friend in PIA Engineering also confirmed it to me the other day, that they are discussing it with SIA as the sole purpose of the LR's (nonstop flights to the USA) was not able to be fulfilled and hence they do not have any real use for them. It would be nice if PIA could get at least 3 more 300ER's as that way they can retire the 743 fleet.

BTW I did ask him again to please chaeck out this site and join it which he said he would but as he's been very busy at work, he hasn't had time. Alot of people from engineering have run off to EK, EY and QR and there is a bit of a brain drain.

^ what about flights to/from YYZ? They seem to being doing ok. It would be a shame for those flight to go via MAN again. I know alot of people in Karachi that used this flight KHI-YYZ-KHI and were very happy with it.

i wouldnt like the deal with SIA. i would prefer PIA buying the B747-400 if they can maybe the 747-800 but money is the key problem

BTW, SIA = Samee's International Airlines
