Norse Atlantic to wet-lease two Boeing 787-9s to PIA for UK routes as Pakistan carrier rebuilds its fleet

Bookmark this story

Norse Atlantic has signed an ACMI agreement to operate two 787-9s for Pakistan International Airlines, with service on PIA’s UK routes expected to begin as early as next month. The deal gives Norse a place for aircraft after its IndiGo arrangement ended, while PIA’s new private owners weigh fleet options as roughly half its aircraft are inactive.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The ACMI placement puts two Norse 787-9s to work on PIA’s UK network, while giving Norse an alternative outlet after its IndiGo pact fell apart.
  • With about half of PIA’s fleet listed as inactive, the lease is one near-term capacity measure as its new private owners explore Airbus and Boeing aircraft, including Rolls-Royce engine options.
