据美国广播公司（ABC）6月1日报道，这起飞行事故的调查人员透露，今年4月30日，一架从美国纽约的肯尼迪国际机场起飞、前往意大利罗马的意大利ITA航空公司（ITA Airways）A330空客飞机，飞到法国上空3.8万英尺高时，机上两名飞行员居然同时在驾驶舱内睡着了。
ABC：从纽约飞往罗马的飞机在地面上空3.8万英尺高时，据称机上2名飞行员都睡着了
报道援引调查人员的说法称，当其中一名飞行员在指定的休息时间睡觉时，这架客机的机长也跟着睡着了。空中交通管制员告诉调查人员，他们与飞机失联约10分钟。由于担心客机上发生恐袭事件，他们甚至已准备派出战斗机拦截该飞机，所幸，飞行员最终作出了反应。这架客机最终安全在罗马机场降落。
对此，ABC特约航空分析师约翰·南斯认为，这种情况“极其危险”，尤其是在飞行员无法监测天气和飞机燃油状况时。“这架飞机仍然可以自动驾驶，但这既不明智也不安全，”约翰·南斯说。
报道称，对于这次事故，ITA航空公司说，机长声称无线电对讲机当时停止了工作。但根据一份声明，调查人员发现“机长的陈述与内部调查的结果之间存在极大矛盾性”。ITA航空公司在声明中表示，机长的行为“不符合公司规定”。目前，该公司已经解雇了机长。

According to ABC on June 1, investigators of the flight accident revealed that when an Italian ITA Airlines (ITA Airways) A330 took off from Kennedy International Airport in New York to Rome, Italy, and flew 38000 feet above France, the two pilots on board fell asleep in the cockpit at the same time.

The report quoted investigators as saying that when one of the pilots slept during the designated rest time, the captain of the plane also fell asleep. Air traffic controllers told investigators that they had lost contact with the plane for about 10 minutes. For fear of a terrorist attack on the airliner, they were even prepared to send fighter jets to intercept the plane. fortunately, the pilot finally responded. The airliner finally landed safely at Rome airport.
In this regard, ABC special aviation analyst John Nance said that the situation is “extremely dangerous”, especially when pilots are unable to monitor the weather and aircraft fuel conditions. “the plane can still fly on autopilot, but it’s neither wise nor safe,” John Nance said.
Reported that in response to the accident, ITA Airlines said the captain claimed that the walkie-talkie had stopped working at that time. But according to a statement, investigators found “a great contradiction between the captain’s statement and the results of the internal investigation”. ITA Airlines said in a statement that the captain’s actions were “not in line with the company’s regulations.” At present, the company has fired the captain.
