The process of checking the A-320 planes is underway and they will be acquired on a dry lease under Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) rules, the national flag carrier said in a statement.
The decision was taken during an executive meeting chaired by Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PIA, Muhammad Saqib Aziz.
During the meeting, PIA's performance over the past few months was also reviewed.
Attention was brought to the fact that expanding the fleet was necessary in order to fulfill market demand as it was becoming difficult to cater to the needs of passengers with the existing planes.
Aziz said that acquiring the two new planes will help PIA in expanding its operations and add to the number of passengers ferried by the airline.
The planes will be used mainly on domestic and regional routes, which include Gulf states and South East Asia.
