Now with the process of getting the aircraft registered in Pakistan as AP-BOK apparently completed probably PIA pilots to operate its ferry flight from Islamabad to Karachi to get it painted in PIA livery at PIA Engineering facility at Karachi Airport.

I think new 737-Max(es) would have been a better option. Sell off the old Roosevelt, pay off some debt and buy some new planes!
