Re: PIA's A310 to go to Leipzig
The Air France aircraft hijacked to Kampala was an A300-B2 and I would imagine whoever is making the movie would not make the mistake of using a smaller A310-300 for the movie.
I am sure the directors could find an operation B4 for the shooting.
Even an A300-600 would be more authentic then using an A310.
Just a thought.

One of BEQ's final touch downs, landing at KHI from LHE as PK303. After this, it only did KHI-JED-KHI sector.

Re: PIA's A310 to go to Leipzig
the first livery looks the best, wish PIA would've kept those. Specially the tail-fin.

Operation Thunderbolt was considered to be one of the Best Planned & Executed Ops in that age & day, interestingly Mini Uzi was used as a weapon which lead to its impressive history as a close combat weapon...

Re: PIA's A310 to go to Leipzig
According to PIA clarification on PTV News:
The A310 used in movie is owned by a German museum. PIA offered the aircraft for sale through advertisement and received highest bid for the aircraft from a German museum.
The German museum decided to make the aircraft available for movie shooting in Malta where it's painted in Air France livery. After completion of movie shooting, the A310 will be moved to Germany for display in museum.
PIA will not take any step against government policy and is aware of nature/sensitivities of relations with different countries.

Re: PIA's A310 to go to Leipzig
BTW, has PIA got the A310 de-registered as AP-BEQ now?
The A310 flew to Malta as aircraft registered in Pakistan as AP-BEQ for PIA. Maybe at the time of shooting, officialy i.e. on papers for aviation authorities, the aircraft is still registered in Pakistan as AP-BEQ for PIA as owner.
Would it fly from Malta to Leipzig as AP-BEQ or under some other foreign registration?
