ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has inducted another Airbus-320, a narrow body 170-seater aircraft, in its fleet that would help the national flag carrier in expanding flight operations and extending improved facilities to passengers.

The leased airbus, built four years ago, is one of the four aircraft selected by the PIA management, PIA spokesman Abdullah Hafeez Khan said in a press release here on Friday.

He said the three remaining aircraft would also be arriving Pakistan in few months.

The spokesman expressed confidence that the induction of new planes in the PIA’s fleet would help improve scheduled operations of the national flag carrier besides ensuring better air-travel facilities to passengers.

On March 9, the PIA had repatriated as many as 230 stranded Pakistanis from Ukraine.

The special flight had arrived at Islamabad airport carrying passengers, mostly students from Poland, where they were staying after crossing over from the war-hit Ukraine.

Ambassador of the Republic of Poland Maciej Pisarski, his wife Justyna Maria Pisarski, and Foreign Secretary Sohail Mehmood were present at the airport on the occasion to receive the passengers.
