Salute to the extraordinary courage of Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar.❤️❤️

🇮🇳 Salute to Captain Smit Machchhar — a true example of courage and duty.

Captain Smit Machchhar, an Indian pilot from Mumbai, showed extraordinary courage during a terrifying mid-air incident aboard Flydubai Flight FZ1073. Despite being seriously injured after an alleged cockpit attack, he fought to regain control, opened the cockpit door, and helped passengers and crew restrain the attacker. The aircraft, carrying 174 people, was subsequently diverted safely to Saudi Arabia.

His more than 13 years of commercial flying experience, including years with SpiceJet and Flydubai, reflect a long career dedicated to aviation and responsibility.

Captain Smit Machchhar is an inspiration to millions. His courage, presence of mind, and commitment to protecting others deserve our deepest respect. 🇮🇳🙏

Salute to this brave son of India. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
