I'm sure a 767-200 would work, but 767-300s being bigger but more easy to come by would be more likely if they were viable.
Problem is the ideal aircraft for the route would be the 787-8 but PIA are not exactly in a great place as a company and therefore not rolling in cash.
PIA will consolidate at MAN and customers will just have to go there if the want to go to Pakistan or go via somewhere.
Do PIA actually plan to replace their A310s? 4 of the 8 were leased from Airbus, or are they just dropping flights all over the network?
If anyone took on the route from LBA it would only hurt PIA out of MAN but it seems to me they probably had to make the decision with the A310 leaving the fleet. Sad but there you are.
