Sleeping Pilots Miss Destination by 359 Miles

Sleeping pilots allegedly flew 359 miles past their destination Thursday before air traffic controllers woke them up, says The Times of India.

Pilots of an Air India flight headed to Mumbai were reportedly napping when the plane, which was on autopilot, flew past the airport.

The Times of India reported that the plane, which originated in Dubai, made a stop in Jaipur. Upon take-off from Jaipur, the pilots were reportedly fatigued from their overnight flight and dozed off.

 

Officials with Air India vehemently denied the report, claiming the plane briefly lost radio contact with air traffic control and only flew off course by 14 miles.

 

The flight had about 100 passengers on board.
