Induction in paf

as airmen

Pursue your passions, discover your talents and improve your abilities when representing your country in the PAF. We deliver unprecedented career opportunities, development opportunities and challenges to make you successful and bring out the best potential in each of our Airmen.


Like officers, equal emphasis is given on the training of the Airmen. After induction the training of an Airman starts from military training, trade training, field training, refresher training and goes up to promotion filters. The environment at training institutions inculcates confidence and self-esteem in the trainees. At present, PAF conducts airmen training in two phases.
