Ayesha Farooq (Urdu: عائشہ فاروق) is a Pakistani fighter pilot from Hasilpur, Bahawalpur District, who was the first woman to become a fighter pilot in the Pakistan Air Force (PAF).[1][2]
In 2013, she became the first Pakistani female fighter pilot after topping the final exams to qualify. She now flies missions in a Chinese-made Chengdu J-7 fighter jet alongside her 24 male colleagues in Squadron 20.[3] Of the 6 current female fighter pilots in the PAF, Flight Lieutenant Farooq is the only one qualified for combat and to fly sorties along the border.[4]
Farooq is one of 19 women to have become pilots in the PAF since the 2000s.[5]
