The present invention relates to a combustion chamber (120) for a gas turbine. The combustion chamber (120) comprises a pilot burner device, a fuel injector (102), an ignitor unit (103) and an air blast injector (104). The pilot burner device comprises a pilot body (100) with a pilot surface (101) which is facing an inner volume of the combustion chamber (120). The fuel injector (102) comprises a fuel outlet for injecting a fuel into the inner volume, wherein the fuel outlet is arranged at the pilot surface (101). The ignitor unit (103) is arranged at the pilot surface (101) such that fuel which passes the ignitor unit (103) is ignitable. The air blast injector (104) is adapted for injecting an air blast into the inner volume, wherein the air blast injector (104) comprises an air blast outlet which is arranged at the pilot surface (101) such that the air blast is injectable in the direction to the fuel outlet and the ignitor unit (103) for directing the fuel to the ignitor unit (103).
