La mitad de los pilotos europeos admite haber volado en los últimos tres meses demasiado cansado
El personal de aerolíneas de España e Irlanda es el que más a menudo vuela cuando la fatiga les impide hacerlo en condiciones, según una encuesta de la Asociación Europea de Pilotos a más de 7.000 miembros
Half of European pilots admit to having flown while excessively fatigued in the past three months, according to a survey conducted by the European Cockpit Association (ECA). The association polled more than 7,000 captains and second officers about how airlines manage fatigue this summer. Out of the respondents, 52% acknowledged that they had at least once flown while too tired to do so within the three-month period.
One in four pilots (24%) admitted to flying despite feeling excessively fatigued. Among pilots from Spanish airlines, this proportion rose to 42%, the highest among all countries surveyed. Malta and Ireland also showed poor results in the survey, as reported by EL PAÍS before its publication. The survey results have remained largely unchanged since the previous edition in 2023.
