Pakistan to start making Boeing parts next month
ISLAMABAD (May 10 2005): Pakistan would start manufacturing parts of Boeing aircraft from June this year, thus, formally joining the club of aviation parts manufacturers. During a visit of media persons to Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC), Kamra, on Monday, it was stated by PAC chief Air Marshal Aurangzeb that Boeing aircraft Co, have set up parts manufacturing unit at the PAC. "At this factory through Boeing offset programme, we shall be manufacturing aviation parts for Boeing 747, 767 and 777 aircraft," Air Marshal Aurangzeb said. He said know-how thus gained through this venture will certainly help in establishing JF-17 (Thunder) aircraft production line.

"Around 20 parts of Boeing aircraft would be manufactured here for the Boeing company, which has set up parts manufacturing plant as part of the agreement for supply of 777 aircraft to Pakistan International Airlines," another PAC senior officer said during the visit to the under-installation plant unit.

He said parts of Boeing would be manufactured here and sent to the company for their onward sale and supply.

Technicians of Boeing are working on the installation of the plant which would be completed by the end of this month and would start production from next month, he added.

MUSHAK DELIVERY: Air Marshal Aurengzeb said the delivery of 20 Super Mushak trainer aircraft to Saudi Arabia would successfully complete by September this year.

"We have already handed over a lot of seven aircraft to Saudi Arabia while a batch of another eight aircraft would be handed then over by end of this month," he told a questioner.

The rest five aircraft, making the total to 20, would be handed them over during September, he added.

This supply of the aircraft has not only earned the country a sizeable amount in foreign exchange but also would help build the image of PAC for production of quality and reliable lot.

Gooda Gooda

Its not just Car that Pakistan is now making, but also parts of one of an extremely sophisticated engineering product of the 20th century, the passenger Jet Airliner.

InshAllah, Pakistan will prosper and soon most of its educated lot will return to Pakistan, to help it advance in leaps and bounds.

[toofast]

I hope its not Adam. LOL just joking

[huebleu]

I thought Pakistan start making 2 no parts of boeing aircraft. (like its being made for cars). yea ofcourse there is no compromise in aircraft safety.

anyway welcome boeing to Pakistan.
but do we have enough boeing aircraft to set the spare part shop in Pakistan alone.

do they have spare part shop in India also?
if so that one would be sufficient for pakistan, india and various neighbours country.

maybe this boeing shop will cover various asian countries

[comtrak]

chalo bhai more accidents now...lolzz

na congrats on a big step.

" Under a deal, Pakistan also produces components and other spare parts for Boeing 777 series—last year Boeing bought components and spare parts from Pakistan worth $100 million."

GUD for PK , BAD for BOEING

[Maverickkk]

now i have to stop taking any flights with any boeing aircraft. Airbus seems the better option now.
I dont think pakistani manufaturing standard are any good. Look at our cars. Even honda and toyota being manufactures in pakistan are pathetic compared to japanese ones.

Good news in one way , but still i think its a bad choice in boeings part. Manufacturing standards are not consistent in pakistan, no matter what anyone says.
You can see any pakistani made product, and the quality is not consistent. one piece of same product differs from another piece.

But anyways, i would still say GOOD JOB to pakistani ppl. Keep it up.

That is a 2 and a half years old post guys. Things haven't been the same lately. All the past investment news have either been scams or rumors.

Maverick,
Think like a maverick. You think that if PAC would have produced junk parts, Boeing is blind enough to give them a letter of authenticity to produce parts for them.
Please don't compare making of aircraft parts with shoes for Bata.

NS
If it would have been Shaikh Rashid, may be you were right, but how come you falsify the statement of an Air Marshal without any concrete proof ?

ARS is right (Y)

@ARS

I read this news 2 years ago and I thought, wow, Boeing coming to Pakistan. At that time my Uncle was visiting Boeing (Seattle) and when he returned he was pretty optimistic. But sadly, I haven't heard nothing from either him or anybody else. I am sure how proud our rulers would have been had this been actually achieved. I can imagine, front page pictures of CMs posing in front of a giant 747.

This is not just an isolated story. We were jumping with Joy when we heard about Audi, Renault, DC (Diamler Chrysler) and London cabs etc. The fact is that things get publicized in Pakistan long before they formulate. Cancellations or delays are never reported.

[ARS]

NS,
Brother according to the news PAC were suppose to make 20 parts of three kinds of mentioned Boeing planes.
We don't know anything more or less. However, based on the track record of PAC, which has overhauled Mirage jets, and perform other vital maintainance programs, its not hard for them to accomplish.

            I'll again say, there is no political figure involved, so don't let yourself compare an Air Marshal on duty with decades of experiance to a feudal minister or anyother mister 10 percent,  provided the newspaper printed the right material. 

        TO OTHERS: If Pakistan can make and run a nuclear programme with resistance from all over, why not air craft parts manufacturing with the help of others.  Or may I say 
     Couch potatoes just criticize and loosers just cry.

@ARS

Lets hope it is true. But I will still consider it a rumor until I am proven wrong which I am praying for.

I have checked PAC's website. No valuable information is available and a major portion is under construction (website).

However, while searching for PAC I found this on the Gulf News Website. PAC at the Dubai air show.

Pakistan Aeronautical Complex gets several enquiries

This news has been published pretty widely, both at national level and also in the international media. I have found some more recent articles:

Something good posted by the Indian media about Pakistan, well, it has to be true.

Now thats the attitude I like and thats how it should be for a science student/worker, as they just work and let others to talk.
Cheers.
