PIA plan Boeing 777 introduction
23.10.11
Jumbo jets could soon be a regular sight at Leeds Bradford Airport, if plans to introduce a Boeing 777 by Pakistan International Airlines get the go ahead, the Telegraph & Argus reports PIA has confirmed that it is planning to use the plane on its twice-weekly run to Islamabad.
The 777 is the world’s largest twin-engine aircraft and has twice the passenger capacity of any of the aircraft operating from the airport. The wide-body ‘jumbo’ can carry 440 passengers. The largest aircraft that operates out of Leeds Bradford, the Airbus A310, can only take up to 220 passengers.
Originally, the introduction had been planned for September but this has been put back until the summer schedule in April.
