Kerala Story: Pilot Who Is Also A Bus Driver
During school days, becoming a pilot used to be the ambition of many of us. However, only very few people who put in a lot of dedication and effort become pilots.
Meet Sreehari, a commercial pilot by profession but can be seen driving a bus in Kerala when he is not flying. He is currently working for Vistara and has been flying both domestic and international flights.
As a kid, Sreehari had a craze for automobiles and he would often sit near the driver's seat of his father's bus and observe. By 4th class, Sreehari had already learned how to drive a car, and by 7th class, he started driving his father's bus.
From a very young age, Sreehari dreamt of becoming a pilot and he put his effort into becoming one. After completing his graduation, Sreehari went to Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Uran Akademi, Raibareli, Uttar Pradesh and got his commercial pilot license at the age of 22.
However, Sreehari's story is not all uphill. Just as he was preparing to be a pilot and getting ready to fly a Airbus 320, the Covid pandemic stuck and his job was put on hold. He had to wait another year and a half to fly his first commercial aeroplane.
He finally started his career with Air Asia, and after some time he switched to Vistara. According to Sreehari, he regularly flies to Delhi, Ranchi, Bengaluru, Singapore, Kochi, and many other destinations.
He also mentioned that his first international flight was to Saudi Arabia, where he carried Hajj pilgrims from India. That being said, whenever Sreehari is not flying, we can see him behind the steering wheel of his father's bus.
