Nepal Airlines’ most well-known pilot has just been suspended, and it’s the fourth time that he has been in trouble with regulators.
Specifically, the CAAN called on the suspension of two pilots, including Captain Vijay Lama, for engaging in “photo/videography while operating the aircraft.” Captain Lama is a controversial figure, as the 61-year-old is also an actor, singer, and television presenter, with over 330K subscribers on YouTube, and over 38K followers on Instagram.
Here’s the wild part — this is the fourth time that Captain Lama has faced discipline from the CAAN for violating operational standards. Perhaps his most high profile incident involved aviation vlogger Sam Chui, who flew on the airline, and was invited into the flight deck during the flight, a direct violation of the country’s aviation policies.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
