A Boeing 767 that remained parked at Sialkot International Airport for nearly nine years has finally found a buyer. The aircraft, which had been grounded since August 29, 2017, has been sold through an auction for more than $400,000.
The aircraft previously operated under Fly Jet Asia Airways and belonged to Sialkot International Airport. Its prolonged stay also resulted in millions of rupees in outstanding airport dues, which authorities have now recovered through the sale.
Sialkot Airport Boeing 767 Listed for Auction
Sialkot International Airport first announced plans to sell the aircraft through a Facebook post on May 22, 2026. The announcement invited interested buyers to submit their expressions of interest.
The airport identified several potential uses for the Boeing 767-336ER. These included aviation engineering, spare parts, cargo conversion, training and other projects.
Initially, the airport set a reserve price of $400,000 for the aircraft. However, the final auction secured a sale above that amount.
Court-Ordered Auction Helps Recover Outstanding Dues
The airport eventually conducted the aircraft’s auction under a court order. The sale price exceeded the original reserve price, allowing the airport to recover its outstanding dues.
According to sources, the aircraft had accumulated millions of rupees in unpaid airport charges during its nine-year stay. Consequently, the auction proceeds helped settle those outstanding payments.
The sale therefore addressed both the aircraft’s prolonged parking and the financial liabilities associated with it.
What Is the Condition of the Boeing 767?
Despite remaining inactive for several years, the aircraft reportedly retains several components in good condition. Its engines, passenger seats and landing gear have remained intact.
Fly Jet Asia Airways previously used the Boeing 767 for charter flights. However, the aircraft remained parked at Sialkot International Airport from August 2017.
The airport subsequently explored selling it for different aviation-related purposes. These included using its components for spare parts, converting it into a cargo aircraft or supporting engineering and training projects.
The successful auction has finally ended the aircraft’s lengthy stay at Sialkot International Airport. Moreover, the sale has enabled the airport to recover millions of rupees in outstanding charges.
