PAF ACQUIRES AIRBUS A319
The Pakistan Air Force has acquired a single Airbus A319-112 medium-range narrow body airliner (current registration: LY-TKT, built in 1999) from Avion Express of Lithuania.
The aircraft arrived in Pakistan three days ago.
The Air Force’s final plans for the plane are currently unknown, but the aircraft will be used for multirole limited Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), utility, transport and medevac roles as well as Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) and Signals & Electronic Intelligence (SIGINT & ELINT) missions.
There were earlier rumours that the PAF intends to convert the aircraft into an aerial tanker for mid-air refuelling as well.
The PAF's interest in the C-390 will depend a lot on the latter's hot-and-high performance. I'd love to see Embraer run some tests within Pakistan itself (not specifically for the PAF, but other countries too as our conditions can be pretty tough). OTOH, and it'd be pretty random, but the PN could be a dark horse candidate for the C-390.Might as well pick these up too.
What a world it wouldve been had we invested early on with the Brazilians in the C-390 platform. Not like we didnt know C-130s would need to go sooner or later.

realistically, we have no option but to go for the c390 eventually. There isnt anything else available rn. India not buying Embraer was such a blessing, otherwise then we'd be royally fucked. Though, now i wonder why we didnt approach Italy for their J'sThe PAF's interest in the C-390 will depend a lot on the latter's hot-and-high performance.

Pakistan's geography is not that unique but we tend to make a bigger deal of it then it actually is. Lots of countries operate in similar or harsher climates already.The PAF's interest in the C-390 will depend a lot on the latter's hot-and-high performance.
