A Qantas captain and co-pilot were left temporarily ‘incapacitated’ and ‘gasping for air’ during a terrifying mayday incident.

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau report released on Thursday shed disturbing details about an Express Freighters Australia aircraft, which was travelling from Brisbane to Melbourne on August 15, 2018.

A mayday was then declared by the co-pilot, also known as the first officer, and the aircraft started a diversion to Canberra Airport. After the captain recovered, the first officer then suffered “incapacitating symptoms consistent with hyperventilation”. “The operating flight crew conducted the appropriate non-normal checklist, however the overheat indication could not be rectified due to the fault in the wing-body overheat detection system,” the report read.
