- Chief Commercial Officer (CCO)
- Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
- Head of Human Resources

Applicants from both Pakistan and abroad have been encouraged to apply, particularly those with a strong background in aviation management, airline operations, commercial aviation, and other complex transportation sectors. The government aims to attract professionals who not only understand the aviation industry but also have the expertise to oversee regulatory compliance, operational planning, and long-term growth.
Candidates have been given until December 10 to submit their applications through the official channels provided by the provincial government. Officials have also confirmed that the hiring process will be fast-tracked to keep Air Punjab on track for its planned launch timeline.
