A sleep-deprived (thiếu ngủ) new father of twins and his co-pilot are accused allowing their airliner with 159 people on board to veer off (đổi hưởng) course after they both fell asleep in the cockpit midair (buồng lái giữa không trung), officials in Indonesia said.

Indonesia’s National Transportation Safety Committee found that Batik Air flight BTK6723 began to divert from its flight path on Jan. 25 when both the pilot and his first officer, who were not publicly named, dozed off for around 28 minutes, according to a report on the incident.

After reaching cruising altitude (đạt độ cao hành trình) during the flight (chuyến bay), a two-hour and 35-minute trip from the island of South East Sulawesi to Jakarta, the 32-year-old pilot in command asked his 28-year-old deputy for permission to sleep.

After getting approval from his second-in-command, the captain fell asleep for an hour, waking up briefly to ask the 28-year-old if he wanted to switch places.

After the younger first officer declined the offer, the captain went back to sleep only to wake up 28 minutes later to find that “the aircraft was not on the correct flight path” and his partner was napping, according to the report.

The captain and his co-pilot had been deemed fit to fly prior to the trip, with both passing health checks and alcohol tests, according to officials.

The pilots have since been “temporarily suspended (tạm thời đình chỉ),” according to a statement from Batik Air. The airline did not immediately respond to the Post’s request for comment.

Indonesia’s Transport Ministry “strongly reprimands” Batik Air over the incident, with the government opening an investigation to find what went wrong.

The incident in Indonesia should be a lesson to regulators (cơ quan quản lý) not to sleep on midair napping. A survey last July from the European Cockpit Association found that out of 6,893 pilots question, about 75% admitted to falling asleep at least once while flying a plane.
