The aircrafts, five years old, have been obtained through a tender, the spokesperson of the national carrier said. “The airbus planes reached Islamabad today [Tuesday].”
The second plane will reach Pakistan within this week too. “Because of Covid, we were not able to acquire new airplanes in the last two years,” the spokesperson pointed out, adding that the new planes with replace the old aircrafts in PIA’s fleet.

The airline’s CEO has, on the other hand, credited his team’s efforts and hardwork for the development.
On Monday, PIA’s PK6249 became the first commercial airline to land in Afghanistan’s capital Kabul since the Taliban formed the government after a twenty-year war.
PIA suspended its flight operations to Afghanistan last month due to financial issues.
Pakistan’s national flag carrier was the only commercial airline that was connected and evacuating foreigners stranded in Afghanistan. However insufficient facilities and garbage on the runway became a hindrance to flight operations at the airport.​
 
4 year old A320s aren’t new, especially when the whole industry is retiring them for the newer and more fuel efficient A320neo.

But I guess it’s better than having nothing.

4 yr old is nothing in aviation industry. Many airlines are flying 10 to 15 years old.

Take out two years covid times. Means it is still new with 2 years.

The Sharjah based Air Arabia has more planes in her fleet then all of Pakistan, our airline industry is a joke.

Narrow bodies have a much shorter life, plus PIA was offered A320neos for about the same price but they chose the older plane instead of making the longer term investment.

But policies will remain the same.
Kia karaingy new aeroplanes.

When we keep running PIA with political appointments and not professionals we will face such a situation. Check the history of PIA, when administered by professionals till 70s. Then came the years marred by corruption and the likes of Shahid Khaqan Abbasi which have COI with PIA appointed in PIA.
PIA was no joke, but it was forced to be because they want us to believe that it should be privatized to run efficiently and which more of us trapped to. Believe me, these corrupt politicians will buy it thru some of their frontmen in pennies and even enjoy the 'Roosevelt' hotel as a gift/bonus with it.
