An Air India flight headed for Mumbai overshot its destination and was halfway to Goa before its dozing pilots were woken up by air traffic control, a report said.
The high altitude nap took place approximately two weeks ago, the Times of India reported on Thursday.
Some 100 passengers were on board the state-run flight that originated from Dubai and flew to the western Indian city of Jaipur before heading south to Mumbai when both pilots fell asleep, a source told the paper.
