PIA Boeing 777-300ER (aircraft registration AP-BHV) photographed at Toronto Pearson International Airport on September 18, 2020.

The aircraft arrived in Toronto as flight PK781 from Islamabad and departed from Toronto as flight PK781 to Lahore.

It needs to visit wash bay.

^ Can PIA wash their aircraft at Islamabad or Lahore? Or do they have to go to their engineering facility at Karachi to get a wash?

This is absolutely pathetic and disgusting.

Where is PIA' CEO?
Are these people clinically blind or are they just so incompetent that they don’t understand that an airline which has chopped its feet by the scandals needs some effort to revive.

Even a bus or a truck driver makes sure his vehicle is clean before setting off. Here we are talking multi-million dollar machines.
Why the hell do we have to take photos to tell PIA that your planes are looking dirty and paint is peeling off. Why do the aviation photographers have to bring this to PIA's attention? When will PIA's senior management get their heads out of the sand? Haven't they had a kick on their backside already due to the EU and US bans?

PIA brand is dying because of all this and this is very painful to digest. I have grown up loving PIA and cannot put up with such incompetency anymore. They should sack every man and his dog and restart fresh.

Why is PIA not able to paint its aircraft properly??

this never use to happen in the 1970s, 80s 90s or even 2000s.

is it poor quality paint, or is poor quality staff??

Does PIA realise that they're losing millions in revenue due to dirty aircrafts? And the paint chipping off is just embarrassing.

Which is more expensive ...... high quality paint job every 3 years or poor local paint job repeated every 3 months ??? someone needs to think.
