Could'nt find anything on the Boeing site, and the following news article from Reuters is from spring of 2009:

(Reuters) - Pakistan's privately owned Shaheen Air plans to buy seven used and two new Boeing aircraft and start flights to India and Iran, its executive director said on Tuesday.

"We have almost completed the process of acquiring seven Boeing 737-200 aircraft from an airline in South Africa," Khalid Bashir Anjum told Reuters on the sidelines of an aviation conference in the United Arab Emirates. He did not give details.

"We will also be acquiring two new Boeing 737-900 ERs by end-2010. The new aircraft will enable Shaheen to start new routes to Mumbai and Mashhad in Iran," he said, adding that Shaheen would also increase flights to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and Muscat.

No there is nothing official yet, especially as they plan to get them 3 years from now. Wait for another 2 and a half years before hearing anything. Boeing always presents these models to woo airlines but that doesn't necessarily confirm they will buy the real plane. Air Blue was presented with Pacmin 737-800 models yet they never got them.

On the other hand, expect to see some 1:200 scale SAI models released some time in the future.

Looks awesome! I hope Shaheen can get rid of their old B732Advs

You might be disappointed to know that SAI plan to keep the 732's for another 13 years.
