Earlier this month, in a newspaper advertisement, the national airline said that it is looking for “a highly experienced, dynamic and passionate professional” to be hired as a full-time CEO on a three-year contract. In the job requirements section of the advert, the educational requirements were listed as anyone with a Master’s degree “from a well-reputed institute and recognised by the HEC, related to Science, Engineering, War Course, Shipping, Naval, Aviation or Military operations and related disciplines.”
