Star Air to resume Nanded flight from Adampur today

Having remained temporarily suspended for the past 20 days, aviation group Star Air has announced to resume its operations between Adampur civil airport to Guru Gobind Singh Ji Airport, Nanded, from tomorrow.

Flight operations at the Nanded airport had been temporarily suspended for the last 20 days after the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) flagged safety lapses during a routine audit. After coordinated measures taken by the DGCA and Maharashtra Airport Development Company (MADC), comprehensive safety protocols were implemented. The most critical of these included expedited repair and strengthening of the runway, ensuring the highest standards of operational safety.

Speaking on the development, Captain Simran Singh Tiwana, CEO of Star Air, said, “At Star Air, the safety of our passengers, crew and aircraft remains paramount. The DGCA has once again demonstrated its commitment to ensuring aviation safety in India. Their timely intervention and vigilance reflect the highest global benchmarks in safeguarding both travellers and airlines.”

“We are deeply grateful to the DGCA for his proactive leadership and close oversight during this period. The DGCA’s decisive actions have strengthened the confidence of all stakeholders in India’s aviation ecosystem,” he added further.

Captain Tiwana said, “We also extend our heartfelt thanks to the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, who is also the Chairman of MADC and to Swati Pandey, 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 passengers for their patience, Capt Tiwana extended his thanks and

sincere apologies. He assured that all affected passengers would be accommodated on future flights across the Star Air network.
