Ethiopian Airlines Flight Pilots Sleep Miss Landing

Ethiopian Airlines flight ET343 was scheduled to land at 6:20 am. in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, after a two-hour flight from Khartoum, Sudan, the Aviation Herald reported. However, air traffic control in the Ethiopian capital noticed that instead of descending for final approach, the jet – which has a capacity of 154 seats – remained at a cruising altitude of 37,000ft. Controllers made several attempts to contact the pilots, but to no avail. An Ethiopian Airlines flight missed the runway on August 15 after both pilots of the plane fell asleep at the controls. Ethiopian Airlines has suspended both pilots pending an investigation. Getty Images After the plane overshot the runway without landing, the autopilot disengaged, setting off an alarm that woke up the sleepy airmen, according to the Herald. The revived pilots then looped around and approached the escapee again, this time landing the aircraft safely 25 minutes later, according to automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast data. Ethiopia’s Fana news agency reported that both pilots have been suspended pending an investigation into the incident. Aviation analyst Alex Macheras called in-flight napping “deeply concerning” and blamed “pilot fatigue”. “Pilot fatigue is nothing new and continues to be one of the most significant threats to aviation safety – globally,” he tweeted. In May, Italian news agency La Repubblica reported that a pilot working for state airline ITA was fired for allegedly falling asleep during a transatlantic flight from New York to Rome.
