History In 1942, the RAF leased an area of from the Government of Sindh and the station premises were then properly secured with a perimeter fence. Korangi Creek also served as a logistic base for the aircraft repair depot at RAF Drigh Road through the supply depot there. Aircraft engines and spare parts that were brought to Korangi Creek by amphibious aircraft were eventually transferred to Drigh Road ( now Shara-e-Faisal) to be made use of. Much of the equipment serviced by the repair depot was channeled through Korangi to Bombay to support RAF units all over British Raj. The station headquarters was closed on 1 April 1946.https://rafweb.org/Stations/Stations-K.htm#Korangi%20Creek After the independence of Pakistan, the station continued to be commanded and manned by RAF personnel till 1949.
