Abstract Causes of human fatigue, such as lack of sleep, disruptions to the body's natural rhythm, health issues, and work-related factors, can have negative impacts on decision-making abilities, memory function, judgment skills, reaction time and awareness in aviation operations. These effects may lead to accidents. This comprehensive study aims to analyze the origins, repercussions, assessment methods and strategies for handling fatigue and associated risks in airline operations using a thorough review of existing literature from both academic and industry sources. The research included peer-reviewed articles as well as publications from various stakeholders within the aviation sector that addressed this topic. It was revealed that fatigue-related risks in aviation are multifaceted and at times unclear. Specifically noted was a significant increase in risk with workdays longer than 16 hours; insufficient pre-shift sleep durations of less than 6 hours; or when work coincides with regular sleep patterns for crew members. Additionally identified were aspects requiring further investigation related to these risks. The conclusion presents recommendations for future studies aimed at reducing these inherent dangers.
