ASSL traces its history back to 1971, when it was originally established as Agriculture Aviation Private Limited by the late Mr. Yousuf E. H. Jaffer. The company's original purpose was to carry out aerial sprays on crops for agricultural production. Between 1972 and 1978, the company extensively engaged in this business in Pakistan but was also contracted for their services in Oman and Sudan between 1977 and 1985. At this time, its fleet was comprised of the Piper Pawnee PA-25 and the Fletcher FU-24. ASSL, as it is now known today, was formally established in 1975, with the purpose of acting as a distributor for various aircraft manufacturers such as Airbus SE, Piper Aircraft Inc., Fairchild Corporation and Pacific Aerospace Ltd. ASSL commenced air charter activities in 1979 with a modest fleet comprised of the Piper Cherokee (PA-28-151) and Piper Seneca II (PA-34-200T), later expanding to add two more Piper Seneca III (PA-34-220T). Over the following decades the company grew into Pakistan's leading aircraft charter operator, accumulating over 50,000 flight hours. Its current fleet includes the Bombardier Challenger 605, Beechcraft 1900D, DHC-6-400 Twin Otter, Cessna Caravan II F-406 and Piper Matrix PA-46R-350T. The company reports having flown over 70,000 hours, conducted more than 15,000 flights and served over 100 customers with seven unique aircraft. It remains headquartered in Karachi with its hub at Jinnah International Airport.
