As part of its drive to add more aircraft to its fleet, an Airbus-320, a narrow-body aircraft, on Friday arrived at the Islamabad International Airport (IIAP) from Abu Dhabi and joined the national flag carrier, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
"This year, PIA acquired four A-320 aircraft, and the fourth aircraft of this series has also reached Islamabad from Abu Dhabi," PIA spokesman Abdullah Hafeez Khan said in a statement.
He said the modern aircraft, which had improved cabin, would help the national flag carrier provide more better travel facilities to the passengers.
“With this addition, the PIA now has 33 aircraft in its fleet, including 14 Airbus planes," the spokesman added.
Last year, the national carrier invited a tender for acquiring four aircraft, out of which three have already arrived while the last one will arrive in the next few days, the spokesperson added. The first aircraft arrived earlier in April, followed by the second in July.
