"Pilots' In-Flight Nap Raises Safety Concerns"
Two pilots aboard a Batik Air flight from Kendari to Jakarta fell asleep simultaneously, causing the plane to deviate from its route for approximately 28 minutes. The mishap occurred when the first pilot, who had requested rest, fell asleep and woke up nearly an hour later, offering the opportunity to rest to the second-in-command, who unintentionally fell asleep while still in control of the aircraft. The plane safely landed in Jakarta after corrective measures were taken, and the airline has temporarily suspended the two pilots involved while an investigation into the incident and the airline's night flight operations is underway.
