Pakistan’s Rayyan Air secures 777 cargo capacity to China

Rayyan Air (RAB, Islamabad Benazir Bhutto Int’l) will charter a B777 from PIA – Pakistan International Airlines (PK, Islamabad Quaid-e-Azam Int’l) as part of an agreement signed this past weekend. In a statement to local media, Rayyan Air said it would use the makeshift B777 freighter to run flights between Islamabad Quaid-e-Azam Int’l and Urumqi in China for four months. The ch-aviation fleets advanced module shows PIA operates six B777-200(ER)s, two B777-200(LR)s, and four B777-300(ER)s. Rayyan Air is a certificated Pakistani carrier licensed to operate charter flights covering passengers and cargo. While it does not currently operate any own in-house aircraft, it has, in the past, employed one B747-200(FSCD), AP-BKI (msn 21592), which has now been scrapped.
