Brief History
Going back in the history of Kashmir corporation (KCL), it is worth mentioning that the company was after a mere six months in business, appointed General Sales Agent for the country’s national carrier, Pakistan International Airlines. In fact, KCL was the first local company in the history of Pakistan to be appointed as GSA and handling agent for the National Carrier.
This appointment was valid at PIA’s three online domestic stations in the Province of Sindh; Hyderabad, Sukkur and Nawabshah besides Hazro, a city near the capital Islamabad. KCL continued its Passenger/Cargo General Sales Agency and ground handling functions up until 1984. At this time however certain changes in the government policy forced the national carrier to resume its own ground handling and other related functions at the above mentioned cities.

As the oldest commercial aviation company and general sales agency in Pakistan Kashmir Corporation has been satisfying the needs of its prestigious clients for 45 years. Though old and established in the travel trade, KCL is progressive and modern in its outlook and attitude. It is managed by a group of highly experienced, qualified and motivated people, and it has always been recognized as a competent organization in every sense of the word.

Infrastructure
Through its network of seven branches, and with the help of 130 experienced and dedicated personnel backed up by computerized accounting, reservations and other related services, KCL has been offering truly outstanding service to its customers.

Its offices are equipped with complete infrastructure to manage both passenger and cargo business for its principals at Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi and Islamabad. To maximize its revenues, KCL also conducts its GSA selling activities through the majority of the 380 IATA and 1261 non-IATA agencies licensed throughout Pakistan. Thus it is capable of providing outstanding sales and service throughout the country, while consistently maintaining an excellent image of its principal airlines, as well as its own professional competence.
