Exhibit D: Sialkot’s strategic proximity to power
AirSial is backed by the Sialkot Chamber of Commerce & Industry, the same community that built Pakistan’s first private international airport. Sialkot is also:
-
a major export hub (sports goods, surgical instruments),
-
a celebrated model in Imran Khan’s “Naya Pakistan” narrative,
-
and a politically aligned business constituency.
Contrast matters:
-
Other startups (Q-Airlines, K2 Airways) did not receive repeat cabinet extensions, policy-timed relief, or PM inaugurations.
-
The pattern suggests selective intensity, not universal facilitation.
