Any idea what is the need of this ADD? I know ATR is schedule to Deliver to PIA, but still what is the purpose of doing this activity?

Perhaps to appeal to other airlines e.g. Aero Asia, Shaheen Air, Air Blue etc.

An extract from the ATR Press Release, 2005

Seven new ATR 42-500 Turboprop Aircraft for PIA- 11/03/05 wrote:The aircraft will replace PIAÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s aging F-27 aircraft fleet operated on socio-economic routes. The 7 firm 48-seat ATR 42-500 aircraft are scheduled to be delivered between 2006 and 2007 with delivery of the first aircraft to PIA in May 2006.

AP-BGL, how can it be March 2006 ??? Where are they then ?

The delivery is 100% May 2006, does anyone have a precise date of arrival ?

PK777, If I am not wrong the initial news that came across has this information about the deliveries in March '06 when PIA ordered the planes.

Can't exactly remember where I did but it was like, 'the deliveries will start from March '06'

I might me mixing up March and May....

Ok, now its official, they're coming.

Boeing did a similar ad when the 733 was launched with a caption that read 'The 737-300 is the right choice for Pakistan'.

Need to find out exactly when they're coming now as I don't want to miss seeing them up close.

Inshallah if the first ATR landed in a day time as its not possible to take shots at night.

I missed the BGY/BGZ landing shots because of the similar problem
