On August 15th, an Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 overflew the runway at Addis Ababa because the pilots had fallen asleep. The flight had left Khartoum, Sudan (KRT) and was en route to Addis Ababa (ADD), Ethiopia, when the pilots both fell asleep during the cruise portion of the flight. The autopilot followed the approach route to the airport but remained at flight level 370. Air Traffic Control attempted to reach the pilots multiple times with no success. Eventually, the autopilot disconnected, and the disconnect alarm woke the pilots. The pilots safely landed on runway 25L roughly 25 minutes after overflying the runway.
