Pakistan may have received two SAAB 2000 Planes

[Imran Khan]

Buy all the Saab 2000s and have PAF fly them too. This would be a cheap way to run a regional airlines, with depo and maintenance work done at Kamra.

Here is another thought: Have direct flights from Dubai to northern areas of Pakistan. Would become a big hit for tourists from the ME and worldwide. Saab 2000s would be ideal for that. Great high altitude performance. Who cares about a little extra sound?

air force is for defend nation not to run airlines . the budget we give to air force is not for commercial activities . if this is idea then PIA atr-72 can do it

Tourist didn't like sab2000 and hence its failure
It was at cheap to fly s comped to Jet yet didn't work out

It's out of production and most re in store so gather them as needed

You misunderstand. PIA would pay for it out of its own budget. It would be a cheap airline option. It would help both PAF and PIA due to economies of scale, and given that depo level maintenance is now possible at Kamra.

Meaning low cost and a win-win for everyone. People in Europe may not prefer the Saab-2000 because of the somewhat higher level of noise, and slightly slower speed, but people in Pakistan don't care about such things - they care about the cheap price of the ticket more. Assuming my presumptions are correct, which actually could be wrong given that I know next to nothing about running an airlines.

How many Paf has ?

TWO SAAB have landed in Pakistan and 3 SAAB were on order if some people on forum don't pay attention than nothing can be done about it

Sir I think he just meant that if PIA buys Saab 2000, it would be cheap due to scale provided by PAF and already present rebuilding, maintainence and parts manufacturing etc at kamra though his words were not straight forward

Initially paf had proposed joint paf, Pia and pn Saab 2k acquisition for both awacs, pn anti surface /sub package from Saab and Pia but it did not work out I think idea was it was economical and all can pretty much pickup majority of 52 plus inventory around the world

Pia and pn went with more popular/successful atr series and paf stick to Saab 2k which was already I guess developed as awacs
