Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has announced plans to expand its fleet by adding two new aircraft on a wet lease basis. This decision, made by the PIA Board of Directors during their inaugural meeting post-privatization, comes as the airline seeks to bolster its operational capacity and revenue stream. Both aircraft are scheduled to commence operations in October under six-month wet lease agreements.
These new additions will primarily serve European routes, enhancing PIA's international reach. A wet lease agreement entails the leasing company supplying the aircraft, alongside its pilots and cabin crew. PIA's move to incorporate two new aircraft diverges from ongoing discussions with Boeing regarding a potential purchase of 16 aircraft.
Earlier this month, PIA officials had toured Boeing's headquarters in the United States to discuss the possibility of the larger acquisition.
