Airman (PF&DI)

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 PF&DI trade group. This nationwide recruitment drive offers Matric-level candidates the chance to build a disciplined, respected career in one of Pakistan's premier defence services. Airmen selected into this cadre take on specialised protective and disciplinary duties at PAF bases across the country, forming part of the force's internal security and training apparatus. 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 PF&DI trade, male Pakistani citizens aged between 16½ and 21 years (as on 28 December 2026) who are unmarried, stand between 178 cm and 188 cm in height, and have 6/6 vision without glasses may apply. Academically, candidates must have passed Matriculation in the Science group with a minimum of 65% aggregate marks, including a pass in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, along with at least 60% marks in English. As with other trades in this induction cycle, relaxed academic criteria apply to candidates from less-developed and under-privileged domiciles specified in the official advertisement, in recognition of educational disparities across regions of the country.

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 are encouraged to complete their PAF Airman registration online without delay.
