November 3: The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) has suspended the licenses of two pilots.
CAAN spokesperson and deputy director general Jagannath Niraula said the license of Senior Captain Santosh Shah and Captain Sanjib Shrestha have been suspended as the two pilots of the Tara Air engaged in a physical assault on the premises of the airport at Manthali, Ramechhap on Friday morning.
"The licenses of the two senior captains have been suspended until further notice due to the breach of the national security standard. Their licenses will be revoked or other action will be taken as per the law after detailed investigation," Niraula added.
