A tired pilot on an Air New Zealand flight between London and Los Angeles fell asleep twice at the controls.

He was tired from changing his hotel room three times the previous night due to air-conditioning problems and fell asleep for about a minute each time.

But luckily, he was not the only pilot on the flight deck.

The pilot won't face disciplinary action, as Air New Zealand wants its staff to report any other similar incidents.
