PIA AIRLINE STYLES





This livery was unveiled with the induction of 747-300s in 1999. In this livery all-white fuselage was combined with enlarged green Pakistan titles and light green PIA initials in stylized Urdu script on forward fuselage. White PIA initials highlighted an all green tailfin which had a white leading edge. This livery design was applied on a very limited number of PIA aircraft. Only few months later this livery design was dis-continued and most of the aircraft painted in this livery were re-painted in 1990s livery. Boeing 747-300s continued sporting this livery design.

This livery was introduced on some of the aircraft with traditional Pakistani floral patterns, known as 'Pashmina' and 'Kashikari', painted in light green color over a dark green background of tail fin with white PIA initials, however, this floral patterns fin livery was replaced by the standard PIA fin livery a few months later. Some 747-300s were also seen with small Pakistan titles when this livery was first introduced in 1999
