Plane flies for 30 minutes without supervision because both pilots are sleeping. As of: March 12, 2024, 3:00 p.m By: Franziska Kaindl CommentsPressSplit Both pilots fell asleep during a flight in Indonesia.

The situation ended lightly, but stricter controls are now being called for. Many pilots are overtired and exhausted. A report by the European Pilots Association ECA from August 2023 shows how high the level of fatigue is among pilots. Almost 7,000 pilots from 31 countries across Europe took part in the survey.
