Senior Pilot Captain Nependra Bhattarai terminated by Nepal Airlines
June 8, 2017-KATHMANDU
Nepal Airlines has terminated Senior Pilot Captain Nependra Bhattrai from his work on Monday said NAC officials.
As per the report, Chief Captain Nependra Bhattarai and Captain Sanjay Bade Shrestha were grounded by Nepal Airlines Corporation since past 6 months, for not flying aircraft regularly and intimidating other pilots and staffs.
After Managing Director Sugat Ratna Kansakar brought the proposal for permanent expulsion of Captain Nependra Bhattrai, the entire board team members approve the proposal and Chief Captain Nependra Bhattarai got the axe from NAC from Monday.
NAC relaxed the information that, both the pilots were hired by Nepal Airlines from Bhadra 2071 to fly on the STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) routes of Nepal on Chinese Made Harbin Y12-e aircraft by paying 1.5 lakhs monthly. The next Captain Sanjay Bade Shrestha will be grounded until further announcement.
NAC has been delay to procure rest two Harbin Y12-e from the manufacturer company in china due to lack of Qualified Pilots. Till date, NAC has 11 pilots to fly the Harbin Y12E aircraft. The action taken to the pilots has compelled Captain Uddhab Ghimire, only qualified captain, to conduct flights; Kathmandu-Pokhara-Kathmandu and Kathmandu-Bhairahawa-Kathmandu.
Due to all those messy circumstance, NAC has been facing a huge loss by operating Chinese aircraft and due to improper management again NAC is likely to face the black day as in History.
