No. 93 Squadron has a civilian role and therefore comes under the command of the Director General of the Maritime Security Agency (DGMSA). Shara-e-Faisal is physically the same airfield as PNS Mehran.

Most recent addition to the patrol aircraft fleet of the Pakistani Navy is the ATR-72. These rare birds can sometimes be seen on overhaul at Monchengladbach.
