The carriers single A310 operated for the govt. has been given to PAF yesterday, it will most likely be used for presidential flights instead of PIA aircraft as was the case uptil now.

Expect to see that A380 being gifted to Pakistan when the tripple decker arrives. Big grin

Even though one definitely has the right to hope, that's a vain...vain one. Musharraf gave the PAF VIP 737 to PIA as a gesture to build goodwill with the people when he was relatively new in power, since he now has a better a/c and that too for free, he ain't givin this up for sure. And who in the whole world wouldn't be spoiled by things like these. Big grin

A310 operated its first official flight to Tashkent yesterday with the prime minister, the aircraft has been re-registered as AP-OOI and wears a green pinstripe on an all white fuselage, with Pakistan titles on both sides in English and PIA's wavy flag on the tail rather than Air Force insignia or regular flag design as on other official aircraft, no Air Force titles either.

Old livery was Qatar Airways scheme and not the govt. one that you have linked, it was abandonned six years ago.

This PAF Business Jet was rarely used, 99% of official trips were with two of PIA's A310's and once in a while with PIA 737.

It is already very obvious from the picture you included at the thread's start. That does not change the fact that A7-AAF (cn 473) used to have the livery in Reply 12. Subject aircraft's provenance is detailed in this photo's caption.....
