I just took a look at historyofpia.com and discovered that PIA has adopt a new livery. The first aircraft (AP-BFW) a Boeing 743 is to be the first plane to wear the new livery.. Its currently in heavy maintenance..

From that image it looks like a slight improvement over the current (revised new colors) colors. I think I can look forward to seeing this eventually.
I wish they would have went for gold instead of the yellow. Its a massive improvement over the original new colors though. I hope they bring the green down to cover the whole tail so it doesn't have that wavy flag look.

Ok this is a trick.
Once again, please.. no new scheme here just an update, in this case however, for the better. Too bad it's still obvious they copied El Al. But if one looks closely, they might have gotten the yellow from Magnicharters:

Aren't these countries so proud of being Islamic? How about taking out the stupid sand color and painting it green lol? Really, green is a much nicer color.
Glad that "pirate flag" on the tail will be gone though, good riddance. Was one of the ugliest liveries around.
Wonder if that 743 will come to JFK once its out of the hanger
Unfortunately PIA's 747s are banned from flying to the US now. The used to fly here but stopped around 2005.

If they have the 747's banned why are they allowing the 777's in?
Because they are more modern aircraft with a better maintenance record.Quote:

FAA and its counterparts can ban types of planes instead of a whole airline. If it has been found that up keep, Maintenance or general operations are not up to FAA standards for a type of plane under an airline they can ban a type of plane from flying into the US.

Another Swoosh, but I like this one... not much in the way of "yellow" in liveries at JFK... good for the variety.
