Ghulam Sarwar Khan
Ghulam Sarwar Khan is a Pakistani politician who served as the Federal Minister for Aviation in the previous government led by Imran Khan. He came into the news following the UK's decision to lift the ban on Pakistani airlines, which he criticized for its impact on Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) and the aviation sector. Khan was previously a controversial figure, having stated in 2020 that a significant number of Pakistani pilots held fake licenses, which contributed to reputational damage to the national carrier. His remarks and the subsequent fallout were cited as factors in the aviation sector's struggles.
