At the very least, it shows they intend to bring BHW back into service.

Pretty sure BHW & BID would need more than just landing gears to be bought back but at least they haven't discarded the aircrafts and that they are still in PIA's plans.

All 4 777-300ERs should be operational if PIA wants to operate 22 flights to UK with the LRs being left for Canada and the 200ERs for Saudi.

Godd step by the management but looking at BHW visual condition, bo proper SOP followed for storing it all landing gears open instead of being air tight covered and how cannibalized its seems
Don't think it could comeback this year
BID is very likely to return.

BID must return, itโ€™s the youngest 777. And what a shame about BGL.
