Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) inked an agreement with ATR for the purchase of seven new ATR 42-500 aircraft on November 2, 2005 at PIA Head Office. The agreement was signed by Mr Tariq Kirmani, Chairman and CEO of PIA and Mr Filippo Bagnato, CEO of ATR in the presence of the General Consuls of France and Italy.
The aircraft were to replace PIA’s aging F-27 aircraft fleet operated on socio-economic routes. The 7 firm 48-seat ATR 42-500 aircraft were delivered between 2006 and 2007 with delivery of the first aircraft to PIA in May 2006.

And then there are fools here on PDF and in Pakistan blaming Imran Khan for exposing the failures of PIA!!
Corrupt fools!
We have become a very dangerous society as far a public sector are concerned. We have mercilessly screwed up institutions like PIA, STEEL MILLS and any other damn thing under under Govt. enterprise.
That's is why everything should be privatized! Bhutto under his socialism and communist tendencies nationalized a lot of the industries and now we suffer from its consequences!
