Visiting Medical Consultants Doctors Jobs 2026 Pakistan Airports Authority Full Time
Ever wondered who takes care of a medical emergency at a small airport in Skardu or Gwadar? That is exactly what this job is about. Pakistan Airports Authority is hiring doctors as Visiting Medical Consultants, both full-time and part-time, along with a Flight Surgeon, to cover airports right across the country, many of them in remote and hard to reach areas.
Why This Job Matters
Think about how many things can go wrong at an airport in a single day. A passenger collapses at the gate. A pilot needs a fitness check before takeoff. Someone gets hurt during ground operations. In a big city, help is close by. But at Sukkur, Gilgit, Skardu, or Gwadar, the nearest tertiary hospital could be hours away. That is exactly the gap this job fills.
A Visiting Medical Consultant at one of these airports is not there for paperwork. They are the actual first line of medical response if something happens on the apron or inside the terminal. And the Flight Surgeon role goes even further, working closely with the Flight Inspection Unit to keep aviation medical standards in check.
If you are a doctor who wants meaningful, high-responsibility work outside the usual hospital routine, and you do not mind traveling to places most people only see on a map, this job genuinely offers something different.
About Pakistan Airports Authority
Pakistan Airports Authority, or PAA, is the government body that runs and manages airports and aviation facilities all across Pakistan. From the busiest terminals in Karachi to small regional airstrips in the north, PAA keeps the whole aviation system functioning safely. This particular hiring round is about strengthening the medical side of that system, making sure every one of these locations, even the smaller ones, has a qualified doctor available when needed.
Vacancies Overview
There are three separate categories here, and each one works a little differently.
Full-Time Visiting Consultants are needed at Sukkur, Nawabshah, Gilgit, Skardu, Gwadar, and Muridke Aerodrome, working 8 hours a day around the flight schedule.
Part-Time Visiting Consultants are needed at Turbat, Panjgur, Rahim Yar Khan, D.I. Khan, Saidu Sharif, Moenjodaro, Zhob, D.G. Khan, Bahawalpur, Chitral, and Dalbandin, working around 4 hours based on flight timings.

The exact number of seats per location is not mentioned in the official source, so if you are interested in a specific airport, it is worth confirming directly with PAA.

Test Pattern and Selection Process
There is no written test mentioned for this recruitment. Only shortlisted consultants will be contacted for the next stage of the process, and PAA has made it clear that incomplete or late applications will not be entertained at all. PAA also reserves the right to accept or reject any application without giving a reason, so a complete, accurate application genuinely matters here more than it does for some other government hiring processes.
Salary Details
PAA has stated a daily rate of up to Rs. 10,000 per day, and the actual amount depends on the location and the candidate’s experience level. Since this is contract based engagement rather than a fixed monthly salary, actual monthly earnings will depend heavily on how many days a consultant actually works in a given period, which can vary quite a bit between the Full-Time, Part-Time, and Flight Surgeon categories given how different their working hours are.
Benefits
The chance to do meaningful, high-responsibility medical work outside a typical hospital setting. Exposure to aviation medicine, a fairly specialized field most doctors never get direct experience in. Flexibility across Full-Time, Part-Time, and even a low-hours Flight Surgeon role, so candidates can find something that fits their current situation. Further specific benefits are not detailed in the official source.
