Foundation stone of PAF Airmen Academy laid
KARACHI: Chief of the Air Staff Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Air Chief Marshal Mujahid Anwar Khan laid the foundation stone and unveiled the plaque of the PAF Airmen Academy at PAF Base Korangi Creek on Monday.
The air chief said PAF always focused on imparting quality training to airmen, who were considered the backbone of PAF’s human resource. The existing airmen training model needed revamping to bring it at par with the PAF Academy Asghar Khan, a premier training institution of the officers’ cadre, he added.
The new institution would train airmen of various trades and expertise in technical and non-technical disciplines under one umbrella, he said and reiterated his resolve for making it a reputed institution which would also offer quality training to the airmen from other friendly air forces.
The ceremony was also attended by a large number of PAF personnel along with high-ranking civil and defence force officers.
