History

PAF Base Pasni was commissioned on 2 April, 1984.^[3] Soon after the September 11 attacks, the provincial government denied rumours that the United States Department of Defense had had some presence at the site linked to the United States invasion of Afghanistan to oust the Taliban regime.^[4] In 2016, PAF Base Pasni was renovated and new Airfield Lighting Systems installed. It was completed in 2018 by RMB Enterprises and after a testing phase handed over to the Air Traffic Control.^[5]
