01
Institutional integrity
Transparent governance, annual independent audits by recognised Chartered Accounting firms, tax alignment across FBR, PRA and SRB, and a zero-tolerance anti-bribery policy that applies to every desk in the company.
Leadership.
Three people carry the accountability for how Al Zohra trades: the founder who set the fiscal standard, the executive who runs the operation against it, and the commercial lead who has spent a quarter of a century inside airline distribution.
2008
Founded in Islamabad
02 Core commitments
Three commitments the Chairman holds the company to.
They are stated here because they are the terms on which airline principals and procurement committees are invited to verify us.
02
Fiscal solvency and liquidity
Substantial capital reserves and verified bank guarantee capacity with top-tier commercial banks, the capacity to carry large ticketing volumes and extend corporate credit without exposing a partner.
03
Settlement excellence
An unbroken, zero-default IATA BSP record: 100% on-time settlement since accreditation. For an airline principal, this is the single number that matters most.
03 Executive team
The people accountable for the day the plan meets reality.
Strategy, operations and financial governance sit with the Managing Director; airline distribution and enterprise sales sit with the Chief Commercial Officer. Both report to the Chairman.
Mr. Mian Saeed Ahmed Khan
Founder & Chairman
Founded AL-ZOHRA TRAVEL & TOURS in 2008 and set the fiscal standard the company still trades on: capital reserves, verified bank guarantee capacity and a 100% on-time IATA BSP settlement record. Directs capital reinvestment into multi-GDS technology, the enterprise ERP and artificial intelligence.
Mr. Atif Hanif
Managing Director
A seasoned executive with a proven record in commercial growth, operational excellence and enterprise innovation across travel, aviation and hospitality. Steers strategic direction, daily operations and financial governance, designing and executing business strategies aligned to market dynamics. The company's significant market expansion has been achieved under his management.
Mr. Khalid Mahmood
Chief Commercial Officer
Commercial Lead and Director of Sales, with 25+ years in commercial aviation and enterprise travel. Spent a decade as Sales Manager for North Pakistan at Gulf Air, running regional commercial operations, route yield strategy and trade relations, and served as Director of Sales at Southern Sonya Travel Network. At Al Zohra he combines GDS expertise, data-driven revenue management and enterprise ledgers to grow sales, expand airline GSA representation and deliver enterprise mobility.
The Chairman's portrait is being produced and will replace the current image as soon as it is released.
04 The wider team
The desk behind the desk.
Finance, accounts, reservations, visa consultancy, recruitment and liaison, the people who issue the tickets, lodge the applications and answer the phone when a booking has to change at short notice.
24/7
Duty-of-care desk
05 How we work
A desk culture built for the call that comes at 3 a.m.
Corporate travel is judged on the bad day, not the good one. Everything below the leadership line is organised around answering fast, answering accurately, and leaving a record of what was decided.
- Named account ownership, every corporate client and airline principal has a specific person answerable for their file, not a shared inbox.
- Under fifteen minutes on routine bookings and under five on emergency disruptions, measured rather than promised.
- A 24/7 duty-of-care desk with live traveller tracking, re-routing and crisis assistance, staffed by people who have run charter and evacuation movements.
- Every transaction lands in the enterprise ERP as it happens, so invoicing, reconciliation and tax alignment are never a month-end scramble.
- Continuous training on GDS, NDC and fare construction, plus mission-specific training for the visa counsellors who audit files before lodgement.
06 Strategic direction
Where the leadership is taking the company.
The stated intent is to evolve from a traditional Travel Management Company into a tech-first global distribution platform, and to do it out of retained earnings.
Platform
From TMC to distribution platform
Deepening the multi-GDS core and direct NDC connectivity so airline content, unbundled ancillaries and corporate policy all resolve inside one booking surface.
Intelligence
Artificial intelligence in the workflow
Investment in predictive fare analytics, smart booking assistants and automated ERP reconciliation, applied to the transactions we already process, not bolted on as a demonstration.
Expansion
Physical presence beyond Pakistan
Planned expansion into the Middle East and the GCC, following the corridors our corporate, charter and workforce-mobility clients already move along.
