The two pilots, both temporarily suspended pending the investigation, allegedly dozed off during the flight. The 32-year-old captain instructed his 28-year-old co-pilot to take control of the Airbus A320, citing fatigue from assisting with his newborn twins. Subsequently, both pilots unintentionally fell asleep, leading to a momentary deviation from the intended course.
