A pilot and co-pilot were simultaneously asleep for about 28 minutes as their plane, packed with 153 passengers, veered off the flight path.

The Batik Air flight was headed from South East Sulawesi to Indonesia’s capital Jakarta on January 25 when disaster struck, according to a preliminary report by the national air safety agency.

Findings detailed in the report, which was uploaded to the agency’s website, indicated the pilots had not rested adequately the night before the flight.

Shortly after taking off, the captain of the plane asked permission from his second-in-command to rest for a while. The request was granted.

It was said in the report that the co-pilot then took command of the Airbus A320 aircraft – but also fell asleep, “inadvertently”.

The report explained: “The second-in-command had one-month twin babies.

“His wife took care of the babies and he assisted while at home.”

The area control centre in Jakarta tried to contact the aircraft 12 minutes after the last recorded transmission by the co-pilot, but received no answer.

Twenty-eight minutes after the last recorded transmission from the co-pilot, the pilot woke up and realised that the plane was not in the right flight path – and that his co-pilot was also sleeping.
