PAF Base Chaklala is an active Pakistan Air Force airbase located in Chaklala Rawalpindi, Punjab province, Pakistan.[1] It also forms part of Islamabad International Airport.
The base was originally operated by the Royal Air Force as R.A.F. Chaklala and, during World War 2, parachute training operations were conducted there.[2]
Once transferred to the then Royal Pakistan Air Force (now Pakistan Air Force) the base came into use as a transport hub, with the PAF's fleet of various transport aircraft operating from it.[3]
