Need replacing these airplanes,as long in the tooth now.B-787 perhaps?
These A310′s are not old, at all. Their manufacture dates range from 1991 to 1994, and the A310 is arguably one of the most well-built airbus models produced.
Yes but the way we Pakis use things they kinda wear out fast!!
By the way ive flown them for four half years….
