    Any idea which aircraft going to operate this flight?


    Hi Abbas Ali, Any idea about reason for the flight? Any update on PIA resuming direct flights to Colombo?
    Amazing news!PIA has been on my bucket list for many yearsI guess they would utilize their A320 on this sector...and I hope this would lead to scheduled operations going forward Pakistan would be a great transit option for onward connections to the Middle East etc

          According to sources this is a repatriation flights for 44 prisoners as per the bilateral transfer agreement signed b the two countries in 2004 - so seems this is just going to be a one off flight
