Boeing 767 Parked at Sialkot Airport Since 2017 Sold at Auction

Sialkot International Airport has sold a Boeing 767 that had been parked on its premises since August 29, 2017, after putting the aircraft up for auction with a reserve price of $400,000. The sale was carried out under a court order, and the final price exceeded the reserve, according to airport officials.

The aircraft, a Boeing 767-336ER, was previously associated with Fly Jet Asia Airways and had remained at the airport for roughly nine years. The airport announced the auction in a Facebook post in May 2026, inviting interested buyers to submit expressions of interest for the plane.

Officials listed several possible uses for the aircraft, including engineering work, spare parts recovery, conversion into a freighter, training purposes and other aviation projects. Despite its long period of inactivity, the plane's engines, passenger seats and landing gear were reported to be in good condition.

According to sources, the aircraft had accumulated millions of rupees in outstanding airport dues during its time on the ground. Those dues were recovered from the proceeds of the auction, which was conducted following a court directive.

Fly Jet Asia Airways had previously used the aircraft for charter flights. The sale marks the end of a long-running situation at one of Pakistan's busiest airports and frees up space at a facility that handles a significant share of the country's air cargo and passenger traffic.
