A second Airbus A320 arrived in Pakistan on Thursday from Sharjah to join Pakistan International Airlines’ (PIA) fleet.
The aircraft has new seats and a contemporary, comfortable cabin, which will enhance the travel amenities, according to PIA sources.
“The aircraft will be operated on domestic, regional, and Gulf routes,” a PIA spokesman said.
“The aircraft has been acquired on a six-year dry lease at the end of which the PIA may take ownership of the aircraft after mutual consent,” he added.
It is important to note that the PIA submitted a bid for the purchase of the aircraft last year; two of those aircraft have already arrived in Pakistan this year, and two more will in the coming days.
The PIA fleet will now contain 14 Airbus A320 aircraft following the addition of these aircraft.
On April 29 of last year, the first aircraft arrived in Pakistan, and it is now used in the national airline’s flight operations.
