The claim, stated plainly
Between 2018 and 2022, the government led by Imran Khan provided extraordinary regulatory relaxations and direct political support that materially enabled AirSial to launch and expand—support that went beyond routine treatment afforded to other private carriers in Pakistan.
This conclusion does not require speculation. It rests on policy changes, cabinet decisions, public acknowledgments by AirSial’s leadership, and visible prime-ministerial involvement.
Primary source context (what the video actually shows)
In the widely discussed interview titled “Kiya AirSial Dobnay wali hai?” hosted by Mubasher Lucman, AirSial Chairman Fazal Jilani outlines:
-
operational missteps (planning, hiring, delays),
-
regulatory friction under short-term licensing,
-
and approaches made to the Prime Minister during renewal bottlenecks.
The video does not allege favoritism outright. What it does do—importantly—is document the dependency of AirSial’s survival on policy relief and political access during critical licensing moments.
That is the evidentiary doorway.
