Fantastic! I have been eagerly awaiting PIA's last 77W to see what tail livery it's receiving. I was hoping for this livery. The frontier Province and Punjab Province both look great on the 77W's. The blue Sindh Province isn't too bad either Ta for sharing

Looks sharp, as all 777s tend to.
Hopefully this won't end up being her final 77W - or 777, for that matter - and they order more down the road.

Out of interest, I believe PIA have 2 77L's, however they both have the original standard tail liveries. Is there any plans to repaint the tails in the future to the new patterns?

Quoting Kappel (Reply 9): There are of course 5 versions of the 777. Who knows, if CX orders the 77L, they may be the first with all 5 versions.
There are six:
772
772ER
772LR
773
773ER
777F

Quoting AV8AJET (Reply 12):
Would the 772 A & B models make it 7?

777-200 = "772A"
777-200ER = 777-200IGW = "772B"
(and, to complete the picture, 777-200LR = "772C")

Cathay Pacific does not have any 777-200ERs. They have 777-200s, -300s, and -300ERs.
People are forgetting the soon-to-be largest 777 operator: Emirates.
They will have all 6 versions of the 777. However, the 777-200s, may be retired before the 777Fs arrive.

Have to say love the tail! The design looks great on the 777! Wish more airlines had such nice artwork on them! Too bad BA got rid of their World Tails. Thought those looked sharp too!

All five 777s with flag tails are to be repainted in the provincial tail schemes.
Quoting Pia777 (Reply 17): Did they restart the ORD service yet?
No plans to returmn to ORD, however GLA and SVO are restarting later this month.

BA didn't remove the Utopia tails due to a FAA ruling. They were unpopular with BA's customers and were removed at the end of the Bob Ayling era as he was responsible for introducing them.

Great stuff. In my opinion, the provincial tail schemes are better than the standard flag tail scheme. Currently there are only 4 provincial tail schemes, are there any plans to add more? (Or was that stupid question? Is there only 4 provinces within Pakistan?)

Only four provinces plus two disputed regions of Azad Kashmir and Northern Areas, latter want to become fifth province or maybe merged with NWFP thats why Gilgit titled aircraft are wearing NWFP tail scheme, Kashmir tail scheme seen below was created but dropped due to its political status.
