(MENAFN- Bangladesh Monitor)
Jakarta: The Indonesian air safety agency has called for better pilot fatigue monitoring mechanisms, after an investigation revealed that both pilots of a commercial aircraft had recently fallen asleep in-flight.
A pilot and co-pilot were simultaneously asleep for approximately 28 minutes during a Batik Air flight from South East Sulawesi to the capital Jakarta on January 25, a preliminary report by the National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT) said.
The report, seen by news agency on Friday (March 8) , was uploaded to the agency's website in late February.
Indonesia is a vast archipelago with a poor air safety record, despite relying heavily on air transport to connect its thousands of islands.
