For some reason on June 20, PIA Boeing 777-200ER aircraft registration AP-BMH arrived in Lahore instead of Islamabad as flight PK855 from Xi'an instead of Beijing. Probably ferry flight from Xi'an to Lahore?

Later, AP-BMH performed short hop flight PK855 from Lahore to Islamabad. Probably aircraft positioning flight.
