Kamra (Urdu: کامرہ) town is located in in the mountainous north of the Punjab, Pakistan.
The Pakistan Aeronautical Complex, comprising PAF's Minhas Airbase, Avionics Production Factory, Aircraft Rebuild Factory, Aircraft Manufacturing Factory and Mirage Rebuild Factory, is located in Kamra and is the centre of Aircraft Manufacturing and overhauling of Pakistan. PAC Kamra is now commonly known as The Aviation City.
The village area of Kamra is known as Kamra Kalan. It is a big village having many mosques, schools and farms of the villagers. The village is highly populated.
Kamra is located in the triangular area constituted by the GT road, from Rawalpindi to Peshawar, and Peshawar. The site is very much concerned for the local transporters as it provides a shortcut for Shaheen Chowk to Attock City reducing about 7 kilometres when compared to the alternative route. The complex is usually considered so sensitive to terrorism in Pakistan and has been attacked several times.
Kamra has the one most popular park known as "Ratti Jinnah Park" located inside one of the residential colonies of PAC Kamra.
Mirage Rebuild Factory was established in 1974 for in-country overhauling of Mirage aircraft and has ever since evolved into a centre of excellence for maintenance, repair and overhaul of military aircraft and jet engines. With a number of quality accreditations and certifications to its acclaim, MRF is trusted by leading aviation industries and air forces of the world. The dream of establishing the Mirage rebuild factory came true, when the first Mirage aircraft rolled out after successful overhaul in 1980. A comprehensive setup for overhauling the Mirage aircraft, is certified by Dassault Aviation of France. Mirage aircraft overhaul is a sequential process in which the aircraft undergoes a series of specialized processes to reclaim a life of 1800 flying hours.
Avionics setup of PAC known as Avionics Production Factory (APF) was initially established as the Radar Maintenance Centre (RMC) in 1983 for overhaul / rebuild of ground based radar systems. In 1989, its capability was enhanced to handle avionics along with ground based radars.
Today APF, with its state of the art facilities, can undertake production of different types of avionics as well as commercial electronics equipment while ensuring high quality standards as per requirements of Aerospace Standard AS9100 Rev C.
