🇮🇳 A Salute to Captain Smit Machchhar 🇮🇳
Courage is not the absence of fear — it is the strength to do what is right in the most difficult moment.
We extend our heartfelt respect, gratitude and best wishes to Captain Smit Machchhar, the Indian pilot who showed remarkable courage during the mid-air emergency aboard flydubai Flight FZ1073.
Despite being seriously injured during the incident, Captain Machchhar acted with determination and helped prevent a far greater tragedy. His courage, professionalism and dedication to the safety of those on board deserve our deepest respect.
Thank you, Captain Smit Machchhar, for your courage and commitment. 🇮🇳
We wish you a speedy and complete recovery and salute your bravery.
