Great news has arrived for the youth of Pakistan, as the Balochistan government has announced the launch of a flying school aimed at training aspiring pilots across the country.
The initiative is being seen as a major step toward opening up aviation opportunities for young Pakistanis.
According to the Director General of the Aviation Wing Captain Ali Azad, the government is activating a dedicated flying school club to train youth in piloting various aircraft.
“This will be a three-year training program, with admissions open nationwide. However, youth from Balochistan will receive special concessions,” he said.
The flying school in Balochistan will provide students with up to 500 hours of flight training – an extensive program designed to meet global aviation standards.
Officials believe that this step will enable local youth to pursue careers as pilots, alongside traditional professions like medicine and engineering.
Finance Secretary Imran Zarkoon added that the project will not rely on government funding. Instead, investments will come from the corporate sector to ensure sustainability.
He stated, “Our goal is to build a professional aviation training facility without burdening the provincial budget. The corporate sector’s involvement ensures transparency and efficiency.”
The government currently owns three aircraft, which will be used in the flying club. These aircraft will also generate revenue, further supporting the project’s operational needs.
In addition, authorities have fixed the minimum age for enrollment at 18 years, offering early opportunities for those ready to enter the aviation field.
This new flying school in Balochistan marks a significant shift in the province’s development priorities, giving youth an exciting new avenue in the aviation industry.
With infrastructure already in place and funding strategies outlined, the school is expected to begin operations soon.
