The pilots involved in the Jan 25 incident had been temporarily suspended.

The pilot and co-pilot were simultaneously asleep for approximately 28 minutes during a Batik Air flight from Sulawesi to Jakarta in January.

The transport ministry “strongly reprimands” over the incident, air transport director-general M. Kristi Endah Murni said, calling on airlines to pay more attention to their air crew’s rest time. The co-pilot then took over command of the aircraft, but also inadvertently fell asleep, the report said.
