ISLAMABAD: In a move aimed at expanding flight operations and provide improved facilities to its customers, Pakistan International Airlines Tuesday inducted an Airbus A-330 into its fleet.

This A320 becomes part of #PIA fleet. Vintage 2017, the plane arrived at #NIIA early morning today. It's part of PIA's fleet replacement program that would provide better & much more comfortable travel experience to our valued customers. pic.twitter.com/Pgz8bgoskE

The flag carrier has secured two Airbus jets on lease via open tender. One of the aircraft reached Islamabad today, while the other is expected to reach by month-end.

A niche product aimed at countries with congested domestic markets, the wide-body 2017-born jets are aimed at replacing the ageing fleet of the airline.

Commenting on the development, PIA Chief Executive Officer Arshad Malik thanked the efforts of the team.
