A Qantas Airways domestic flight was forced to delay its landing in Australia's capital after an air traffic controller overslept and failed to report for duty on time.
The plane from the western city of Perth circled over Canberra for 20 minutes until the senior controller who was due to start work on the day's first shift at 5.30 a.m. Wednesday arrived.
His co-worker, a middle-ranking controller, arrived on time but was unable to open the control tower without his senior colleague, a spokesman for Airservices Australia said on Thursday.
He said the rosters had now been changed.
