Our Story

We started out with a concern that Pakistan is blessed with natural talent and technologies clustered in different cities but seriously lack the support and vision, both in people and Government, to help these clusters make global visibility and significant impact on Pakistan’s economy. The duo from Industry (Imtiaz Rastgar) and Academia (Dr Arshad Ali) helped put together the diversity of experiences and knowledge in building a platform to fill the industry vision void by bringing together the professionals and experts for up skilling the industry and connection with national and global businesses.

We learned that the most needed skill is the attitude and the ability to think global. A slogan “Dunya Hamari Mandi” has been Coined to think global. PAeC platform acts as bridge builder, connector of resources and talent. These efforts have helped identify three critical skills sets essential for successful and effective development of cluster: Global Mindset, Global entrepreneurship and active citizenry. If you are passionate to make a difference we are looking for your contribution and support.

Message From The President

2019-20 has been an eventful period, to say the least, not only for PAeC and Pakistan but for the entire world. The last quadrimestre of fiscal year has been the biggest “disrupt” the world may have seen in the last century. Whereas, this may have represented a departure from norm, for most, it has also offered a fresh slate, to others, to think more clearly; and those who manage to come out standing, will be more resilient and ready for the future. For PAeC, 2019-20 was a year of realization for the nascent, futuristic and nationalistic idea planted by Mr. Imtiaz Rastgar, our great national asset, in 2018, to create a cluster of the Pakistani Aerospace Engineering Industry; to carve Pakistan’s due share in US$ 850 billion global aerospace engineering industry, with high value engineering products.

To complete a 1000 mile journey, we saddle up to undertake the journey and then set out… It is my pleasure to briefly walk you through the beginning of this 1000 mile journey in the last year, with our achievements and hope. We have grown to a point that we simply require more space and momentum.

Major international interactions took place in the year, including high profile visits of delegations from CERN Geneva and Pakistan American Business Association PABA USA, under the arrangements of PAeC. A delegation of PAeC also visited CERN to look for openings for Pakistani Industry in CERN and its European supply chain. These pursuits opened new opportunities for PAeC member companies to establish their business relationship with potential International buying entities. PAeC has also been endeavouring for business collaboration among the member companies to serve our own state Aviation Establishments like Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC).

As a result of our efforts, several member companies have established strong business relationship with Pakistan Aeronautical Complex. Including Sherani Engineering, who have developed state of the art UAV Production Jigs to meet the requirements at PAC, earlier these Jigs were imported from China. East West Infiniti has successfully engineered and integrated the next generation Avionics in the PAC Super Mushak aircraft ordered by Turkish Airforce, the first confirmation flight took place on 21st May 2020; we expect to see this interaction help growth in the International Marketplace.

The planned activities for the last 5 months of the fiscal year were very adversely disrupted COVID-19. Amongst others, PAeC had planned an exhibition of member companies at Air University, Islamabad inviting PAF, PN Avn and Army Avn to attend, but unfortunately this could not be done, due to the lock down restrictions, we also planned to lobby with the government to project the existing Pakistani (private)

Pakistan Aerospace Council aerospace engineering industry and the, latent engineering industry who can catapult into the high value aerospace industry. But the lock down and governments own pre- occupation with COVID & Locust related extraneous circumstances prevented this to happen.

Moving forward; we will continue to pursue two strategic objectives: Projecting member companies in the International and National dimensions and getting governmental recognition of our aerospace Industry as an Industry, so that we can execute and plan activities without government permissions and NOCs. We cannot rest on our achievements, but we need to keep delivering as per our objectives. We expect to have greater virtual interaction in the months ahead; maybe that is how future will be

We had hoped that High Tech Aerospace & Aviation Engineering Industry would be recognized as an Industry by Government of Pakistan, an objective we will actively keep pursuing, to achieve the these key objectives it is very essential to increase the number quality PAeC members, there is strength in (quality) members..

Join me to move forward in 2020-21, to take big strides in putting PAeC cluster organisation for the Pakistani Aerospace and High-Tech Engineering Industry firmly on the high-tech map of Pakistan and the emerging markets of the world. PAeC will play its vital role in global promotion of high value addition for High-tech manufacturers of Pakistan, while meeting the national needs for technology acquisition and an export focused sustainable growth of Pakistani Aerospace and associated high-tech Industries; to proudly give a real meaning to “Dunyia Hamari Mandi”.

Dr. Haroon Qureshi (President PAeC) Invited At Roze TV Network For Expert Technical Comments On The PIA 8303 Tragic Crash

Dr. Haroon Javed Qureshi (PhD), President Pakistan Aerospace Council was invited in a television show “Halqa-e-Ahbab”, telecasted on 29 May, 2020 at Roze TV to present his technical analysis on recent PIA airplane crash.

st Dr. Qureshi highlighted (prior to the official findings on the crash on 21 June 2020);

 The extremely steep descent of the ill-fated aircraft from 10000 ft to 3500 ft at speeds over 250-275 knots and then from 3500 ft to the runway at around 200 knots with vertical speed of descent of over 33 ft/sec (2000 ft/min), instead of the expected 10 ft/sec (600 ft/min) was the major cause of the tragic crash.  Break down in cockpit procedure and ATC procedure need a serious rethought corrective implementation.  The detailed analysis present by the President Pakistan Aerospace Council is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh7SQpY1jGs

Founder’s Message

By the Grace of God, PAeC has achieved substantial progress and visibility in a short period of time. Although name of our Association is Aerospace Council, it is really working to bring together Pakistan’s Hi-tech manufacturing sector, which can gel together to create products and create market niches in all spheres of high value added products which involve high knowledge levels as well as manufacturing expertise.

We have grown as an association. It is our endeavor to interact, from our platform with all stakeholders in Pakistan, including our governments, teaching and training institutions, research labs as well as large scale manufacturing. Tech companies constantly struggle with government buying rules, purchasing and IP ethics as well as the tug of war between local suppliers versus foreign sources. As such we are trying to create a dialogue not only between ourselves, but also with government agencies, government purchasing, universities, research, credit institutions and other trade bodies. I hope that as we grow, we shall be working on the following thrust areas;

1. Influence the policy debates & procedures of most importance to our industries. 2. Technical development road map and to help GOP create Policy conducive to growth of a vibrant high-tech cluster in Pakistan.

3. Business growth through high value, high tech products. 4. Global recognition for global business growth. 5. Inputs with regard to tech directions. 6. Growth by mutual interaction and create large scale employment opportunities for Pakistan’s youth bulge.

7. Growth by linking to global aerospace and other high-tech manufacturing sectors. 8. Creating university- industry linkages with a view to create industry ready HR as well as wealth creation.

9. Creating subcontracting opportunities with European Union Suppliers of CERN. 10. Connect all high-tech, private sector for gelling this sector. My best wishes to all our members and stakeholders with the request to work together for a brighter future for all of us and our future generations!
