“I am delighted to hear that the Airvan has featured on Earthrounders, a clear validation of its strength and rugged nature. I had the privilege of meeting Ken and Tim when they stopped in Bangalore in the course of their global flight and was truly impressed with their perseverance and dedication to the cause,” vice chairman and managing director of Mumbai-based multinational industrial giant Anand Mahindra said.
