Planes run by Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) may be grounded anytime soon as more and more pilots are quitting their job due to low salary and perks, local Nepal Samacharpatra daily reported Sunday.
Captain K.B. Limbu, president of Nepal Airlines Pilot Association, left the NAC to work for Air U.K. and pilot Bishal Dewan also started working in an Indian airline company after leaving the NAC.
Both were experienced pilots and were boarding the international flights of the national flag carrier airline.
The number of pilots working for international flights has decreased to 40 from 42 following their departure whereas the number of pilots boarding domestic flights is just 10 who have to board three planes of NAC.
