History
In 1971, five years after induction of F6 aircraft in PAF, it was realized that the aircraft had started falling
due for overhaul and in the absence of in country overhaul facility, the aircraft would be sent abroad for
desired inspections, resulting in huge amount of spending in terms of Foreign Exchange and generating
undesired downtime for the aircraft fleet. With this background the commanders of Pakistan Air Force
decided to embark upon achieving the historic goal of creating an indigenous overhauling facility for F6
Fleet of PAF. After negotiation with the OEM and the Chinese Government’ the establishment of F6
Rebuild Factory now known as Aircraft Rebuild Factory (ARF) started at Kamra duly supervised by
Chinese Experts. On its completion, the first ever aircraft rolled out after Overhaul in the year 1980.
Having gained the overhauling experience of Chinese Origin Aircraft, it was considered essential to
establish a similar GOH facility for French Origin Mirage III & V aircraft of PAF. The project for
establishment of Mirage Rebuild Factory (MRF) started in 1974 and the first overhauled Mirage aircraft
rolled out of the factory in the year 1980. Atar 09c engine and related accessories MRO facility was also
established at MRF during early 80s with subsequent addition of various other engine MRO services.
After establishment of overhaul of Chinese and French Origin aircraft, efforts were generated to enter
into the arena of Aircraft Manufacturing. As a humble beginning a fight trainer MFI-17 aircraft was
chosen for indigenous manufacturing, for which another factory was established after successful
negotiation with the Swedish OEM. in the year 1975.
