Airman (Aerotech)

About This Job

The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has announced online registration for Airmen Induction – July 2026, calling on eligible young Pakistani men to join the Aerotech trade group. This nationwide recruitment drive offers Matric-level school-leavers the chance to build a disciplined, respected career in one of Pakistan's premier defence services. Airmen selected into the Aerotech cadre support the maintenance and technical upkeep of PAF aircraft and ground equipment at bases across the country, working alongside some of the most advanced aviation assets in the region. Along with national service, successful candidates gain access to a stable government salary, free medical care for themselves and their families, subsidised accommodation, generous leave entitlements and concessional air/rail travel, benefits that make Airman service one of the more attractive career paths available to science-stream Matric candidates in Pakistan today.

To be eligible for the Aerotech trade, male Pakistani citizens aged between 15½ and 19 years (as on 28 December 2026) who are unmarried and stand between 163 cm and 188 cm in height may apply. Academically, candidates must have passed Matriculation in the Science group with a minimum of 65% aggregate marks, including a pass in Physics and Chemistry and at least 65% marks each in Mathematics and English. Candidates whose domicile falls in Balochistan, the former FATA districts, Gilgit-Baltistan, the Upper Neelum Valley of Azad Kashmir, less-developed parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, or interior Sindh districts such as Tharparkar and Umerkot benefit from relaxed academic criteria, needing only 50% aggregate marks with a minimum of 40% in Mathematics and English, in recognition of educational disparities across regions.

Online registration for this induction cycle opened on 6 July 2026 and closes on 19 July 2026, and applications are accepted only through the official portal, www.joinpaf.gov.pk; no manual or walk-in applications are entertained. Shortlisted candidates will subsequently be called to Air Selection & Recruitment Centres in major cities, including Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, Quetta, Islamabad, Multan, Faisalabad, Sialkot and Gujranwala, for a written academic test, a physical fitness assessment and a medical examination, with final selection decided on merit after all stages are cleared. Candidates should keep their original CNIC, domicile certificate and attested academic documents ready ahead of the test date, since incomplete documentation can lead to disqualification. With only a short window left before the deadline, eligible young men interested in a technical career in aviation maintenance are encouraged to complete their PAF Airman registration online without delay.
