Turkmenistan Airlines Open Joint-Stock Company has announced a large-scale recruitment drive for young men to train for the prestigious profession of a pilot at the University of the Turkish Aeronautical Association (Türk Hava Kurumu Üniversitesi). This four-year degree program represents a unique opportunity for citizens of Turkmenistan under the age of 25 to obtain an international education. In addition to a secondary or vocational school diploma, a key eligibility requirement is the completion of mandatory military service in the country's Armed Forces, verified by a military ID. The application process has already begun and will remain open until June 30, 2026, at the airline's head office located at A. Annaev Street in Ashgabat.

Significant attention is paid to the financial aspects of the program: the national carrier covers all major educational expenses. According to the contract, the company pays for theoretical training, expensive flight practice, student dormitory accommodation in Türkiye, and airfare to the place of study. In turn, students are responsible for covering their own costs for meals, daily transportation, student visa processing, and medical insurance. This collaborative model allows talented young individuals to focus entirely on their studies while receiving reliable financial support from the state.

The candidate selection process involves rigorous medical and academic evaluations. Initially, applicants must undergo a medical examination in Ashgabat according to ICAO international standards, followed by health confirmation by a specialized commission in Ankara. After successfully passing the medical boards, candidates will face entrance examinations held from July 1 to July 15, 2026, at the Aviation Personnel Training School. The exam curriculum covers Mathematics, Physics, and English (including reading, writing, and speaking), with proficiency in additional foreign languages serving as a significant competitive advantage.

Participating in this program places serious professional obligations on the future pilot toward the national carrier. Upon completing the four-year course and receiving their diploma, the young specialist is required to work for Turkmenistan Airlines for a minimum period of 10 years. This condition is formalized in an official tripartite agreement signed before the commencement of studies. Consequently, the state guarantees the graduate a stable job and professional growth, while the airline secures a long-term supply of highly qualified personnel.

For detailed consultations and to clarify the full list of required documents—which includes a passport, military ID, and graduation certificate—applicants may contact the information department in Ashgabat. Specialists can be reached at the landline number 23-47-88 or via mobile at +993-65-72-58-43. Questionnaires and document packages must be submitted in person at the Turkmenistan Airlines building on A. Annaev Street. This is an exceptional chance for ambitious young people to join the elite of civil aviation and dedicate their lives to the skies at a professional level.
