Indonesia’s transport ministry is having to launch an investigation after two Batik Air pilots fell asleep during a recent flight. Both the pilot and co-pilot fell asleep at the same time for around 30 minutes during a flight from Kendari in Southeast Sulawesi province to the capital Jakarta on January 25.
Around 90 minutes into the flight, the second-in-command then “inadvertently fell asleep,” according to the report. Twelve minutes after the last recorded transmission by the co-pilot, the Jakarta Area Control Centre tried to reach the aircraft, but there was no reply from the pilots, it said. Around 28 minutes after the last recorded transmission, the pilot-in-command woke up and realised the plane was not in the correct flight path.
