Qatar has gifted an airbus to Pakistan and Islamabad has said the plane will be used for international travel by President Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz.
The Airbus A-310-304, which was part of Qatar’s fleet, was handed over to Pakistan this weekend. Aziz accepted the gift saying the gesture of the Qatar government was a symbol of close ties between the two countries. The 89-seat aircraft is equipped with facilities like a conference room, the spokesperson said adding it would be used by President Musharraf and Prime Minister Aziz.
It would most likely carry the PAF livery, PAF spokesman Air Commodore Sarfaraz Ahmed Khan said adding that the operational details were being worked out. Musharraf already has a Gulfstream for his travel. However, for overseas VVIP tours an Airbus with tail number AP-BEC was mostly spared from Pakistan International Airline’s fleet, local daily ’Dawn’ reported. The gift comes at a time when Qatar is pressing for additional flights to several Pakistani destinations, one of its longstanding demands, says the BBC report.

I can't believe Pak accepted it. Its the height of patronising by Qatar. Where is Pak's self respect gone?
