In his concluding remarks, Captain Tiwana said, “We also extend our heartfelt thanks to the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Maharashtra, who is also the Chairman of MADC, and to Smt. Swati Pandey, IPoS, Vice Chairman & Managing Director of MADC, for completing the runway repair at Nanded Airport in record time.
Their leadership and dedication ensured that this important regional hub could be restored to operations swiftly and safely.”
As an expression of gratitude and appreciation to Star Air’s esteemed passengers for their patience and unwavering support, Captain Tiwana extended his heartfelt thanks and sincere apologies.
