Just been browsing the airlines planned flight schedule.Looks as last nights Sunday flight was the final one. Back to 3 weekly.

Is it true that PIA could be the next airline to quit BHX ??

However i am also hearing they are in a financial crisis and wont be around for much longer. Sign of the times hey 🤔

If its true then id rather them go than have another airline on the brink for years to come so we can start rebuilding our airport now.

It seems that PIA have had financial issues for a while now, they've dropped US flights citing massive losses.

Not heard about a pull out but if so I can't see who else would take over. Shaheen and Air Blue don't seem to be in much better shape and I'm not sure that a European airline would risk the security situation down route.

A quote from PIA official Twitter account today

“We are pleased to announce that the new livery for Pakistan Intl Airlines has been chosen! Bigger & better than ever before, something incredible is coming your way! A rigorous selection process, including focus group discussions, was followed to select the new livery design #PIA”

Look forward to seeing this design and of course hope it visits BHX real soon!

And sometime soon they will have a nice new airport to go with it...

This image has appeared today rumoured to be the new PIA livery, first impressions and I think it’s dreadful!

I hope this isn’t the new livery, not a fan at all.

If it is the new livery, I don't mind it but it is a little on the plane side. (pun intended)

I quite like the front section with the flag.

The rear however, 👎

 

[Brum X]

Its not too bad, however the big PIA looks a bit weird. 🤢

 

[mullion]

I rather like this

PIA should’ve taken a leaf out of Gulf Air’s book - their new livery is stunning!

The new ISB airport is to be officially opened tomorrow and fully operational by the 3rd.

From the images I've seen it looks quite nice.

Lets hope we get our 4th weekly flight back in celebration 🙂

Today’s PK791 to BHX was the last flight operating out of the old Islamabad airport. All flights now operating to new Islamabad airport.

No PIA flight today.

When I saw Pakistan International Airlines I thought "uh-oh flights suspended due to not wanting to fly over Pakistan", but then geography and politics stepped in.

Would be good to see. Never heard of the place. When I looked it up in Wikipedia I misspelt the plsce and ended up reading about a village of 805 people. Surely not. But a big city close to the border with India. An alternative to Lahore which is not far away.

Lets hope.

No mention of the Northern Gateway ?

Excellent however the flag could be best placed on the rudder.
The current livery is nice enough, just glad I was outbid for a Herpa!! I shall await the new release.
