sorry to brust your bubble kid . 777s are not retired none of them is retired all are active .
they are not OWNED by PIA they have to send for D checks are return to owners .
all this monkey dance of best airline is because of this sir
ap bhi badshah hai PIA can not buy A350 AND B787 not because only they have no money but also they are made with composite materials and PIA have no maintenance facilities not team training or even tools to maintain them its like inducting a new aircraft in airforce costs so much . about A380 only islamabad airport can handle it in pakistan and a new wide-body will increase massive loss to PIA sir . all PIA can do get younger b777s and a320s to keep flying but until EU ban is there we have no hope for PIA . its already a dead horse .
no sir they can not be returned unless lease term will be over and PIA will send these aircrafts to MRO somewhere and re-delivery back to leasing company .
Yea not to mention the pilots flying on fake licenses .
that is CAA fault sir . licensing issue is related to CAA which is more sh1t then PIA .
Are you sure they have been cannibalized and not surreptitiously sold?what a joke
PIA as an airline is most scrappiest airline of world . cannibalizing aircraft to get parts is safety ? ask your air force ex CEO where are two a320 and ab777 since more then a year ? yes he cannibalized them for parts .
if they show auditor b777 APBGL and APBMS he will pissed off and give 0 star to PIA .
now they are hiding them in hanger so no one can take pic of them
this is what CEO said
Grounded PIA Boeing 777s underwent controlled cannibalization because Boeing ended Component Services Program for PIA due to lack of funds/poor cash flow experienced by the airline, says airline's CEO Air Marshal Arshad Malik.
PIA is holding talks with Boeing for the resumption of Component Services Program. Grounded Boeing 777s will begin returning to service after PIA starts getting components from Boeing.
But the HR department of PIA really that dumb which cannot filter the bona fide pilots and filter out the incompetent ones with fake licenses??that is CAA fault sir . licensing issue is related to CAA which is more sh1t then PIA .
PIA ranked among world's best airlines
Recorder Report Updated 06 Nov 2021
KARACHI: Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) is now ranked among the best airlines in the world that have the safest operating records after achieving perfect safety ratings from the European air safety watchdog SAFA (Safety Audit for Foreign-Origin Aircraft), with zero index.
SAFA conducts periodic and surprise checks for all the non-European Airlines at different airports across the world.
PIA, being under consistent scrutiny ever since the pilots license scandal surfaced, was subjected to more extensive audit checks at most of the international airports by SAFA inspectors.
However, with zero findings being recorded by SAFA since last few weeks, it has lowered it safety hazard index to zero, which is a perfect score. Sharing his views on achieving the Zero index safety ratings, PIA CEO Air Marshal Arshad Malik thanked Almighty Allah for his blessings and congratulated PIA team for their sincere efforts working tirelessly to achieve highest ever safety ratings.
He said now after the restructuring of PIA's Safety Department, more stringent in-house safety checks are being undertaken on all its international flights. A new safety awareness culture has been introduced in PIA whereby special emphasis and career incentives are given to employees whom adhere to the culture.
He further said PIA has offered professional support to the regulatory authority in Pakistan as well, aiding them to clear the ICAO Audit in November of this year, paving the way for resumption of flights to west.

See how accepting flaws and correcting them works out in the long term vs brushing it under the carpet. This is for the 1000's of passengers that use PIA.
I said the same thing when the pilot scandal surfaced, we will come out better. Temporary pain is worth it in the long run against burying your head in the sand.
Hopefully PIA never falls again to nepotism as it has over the previous regimes.
There is a reason why mature and responsible airlines and regulatory authorities spend millions of dollars in investigating each crash and not try to actively cover up.
all this monkey dance of best airline is because of this sir
From October 22, 2020, to October 21, 2021, following four PIA airliners underwent ramp inspection outside Pakistan under European Union (EU) Safety Assessment of Foreign Aircraft (SAFA) programme:
Boeing 777 registration AP-BGY
Airbus A320 registration AP-BLS
Airbus A320 registration AP-BLU
Airbus A320 registration AP-BMX
Inspections did not find any irregularities in these four PIA aircraft.
