Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has acquired another fuel-efficient Airbus A-320 on lease from Ireland for six years as part of its plan to lease six aircraft to improve its performance.
Secretary Aviation Mohammad Ali Gardezi said this while talking to media personnel on the occasion of inducting the Airbus A-320 into the PIA’s fleet at the Benazir Bhutto International Airport on Saturday.
“The induction of another fuel-efficient Airbus A-320 into the PIA fleet was part of government’s efforts to improve the national flag carrier. With the induction of another A-320 into the PIA fleet, the number of aircraft operating with the PIA will go up to 26,” he said, adding that five more airbus A-320 will be acquired by the end of January next year. The plane will be used on the domestic routes
