Editing Sky marshal (section)

In Pakistan, armed sky marshals are deployed on all flights. Sky marshals are provided by [[Airports Security Force|Airports Security Force (ASF)]].

The ASF was established in 1976 under the Airports Security Force Act LXXVII of 1975, initially as the directorate within the Department of Civil Aviation. After the hijacking of a [[1981 Pakistan International Airlines hijacking|Pakistan International Airlines aircraft in March 1981]], sensing the contradictory requirements of security and facilitation, the ASF was separated, and, in December 1983, was placed under the folds of the Ministry of Defence.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://tribune.com.pk/multimedia/videos/259342/ |title=ASF Sky Marshalls: Proving themselves in a man's world |newspaper=[[The Express Tribune]] |archive-date=2011-09-25 |access-date=2016-12-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110925064944/http://tribune.com.pk/multimedia/videos/259342/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
