Half of European pilots admit to having flown in the last three months while too tired
Airline staff in Spain and Ireland are the ones who most often fly when fatigue prevents them from doing so under proper conditions, according to a European Pilots Association survey of more than 7,000 members.
A survey by the European Cockpit Association found that half of the pilots who responded had flown when they were too tired. Over 7,000 pilots were asked how their airlines manage fatigue. 52% of respondents reported flying when too tired at least once in the previous three months. Among Spanish airline pilots, 42% said they normally fly even when too tired, the highest proportion of any country surveyed. The results are similar to those of the 2023 survey.
