1.7 Written submissions to this inquiry considered by the Committee, both public and confidential, provide evidence of more than 700 recorded incidents in the last 15 years where fumes have been reported to have entered the cabin and contaminating the cabin air on BAe 146 aircraft operating in Australian airspace. This evidence was provided by aircraft operators and by various unions and associations representing flight crew.
1.8 While the total number of reported incidents varies, a summary of fume reports provided by Ansett Australia and the Flight Attendants Association of Australia shows the figure of 700 incidents to be a conservative estimate of fume occurrences since the BAe began operating in Australia.4
1.9 Evidence was also provided of a successful application for employees compensation in the Compensation Court of New South Wales for the aggravation of a pre-existing illness caused to a flight attendant, Ms Alysia Chew, due to exposure to fumes during an incident on a BAe 146.5
1.10 Several other successful applications for workers’ compensation for illness attributed to fumes on the BAe 146 have also been drawn to the Committee’s attention. Currently two civil actions are being pursued for common law damages for illness allegedly resulting from exposure to fumes on a BAe 146.6
1.11 The Committee was informed that when this issue became a matter of general public concern, some 140 Ansett flight crew held medical certificates exempting them from flying on the BAe 146. Some of these crew requested exemption as a precautionary measure and were not suffering the effects of exposure to fumes on the aircraft. At the time of this report, Ansett has advised the Committee that nearly 80 per cent of previously exempt flight attendants have returned to flying on the BAe 146 ‘without any significant issues being raised or ill effects reported’.7
1.12 The Committee received approximately 20 individual submissions describing symptoms experienced by crew members and attributed to oil fumes leaking into the aircraft cabin. The Committee notes that of 31 public submissions made to the inquiry, a significant number argued that contamination of cabin air on BAe 146 aircraft was a continuing problem warranting further action and investigation.
1.13 These submissions described in detail symptoms crew members experienced as a result of exposure to cabin air in the aircraft. These submissions also set out how these exposures had affected their health and the processes they followed in dealing
