Frequently asked questions

What is a fume event?

A fume event occurs when contaminated air — often from engine oil, hydraulic fluid, or de-icing fluid — enters the aircraft cabin through the bleed air system. This can cause a range of symptoms from headaches and nausea to more serious neurological effects.

What should I do if I experience a fume event?

Seek medical attention if you have symptoms. Document everything: date, flight, symptoms, and any witnesses. Report the incident to the airline and consider filing a report with us to help build the evidence base.

Are my reports confidential?

Yes. We treat all submissions confidentially. Your personal information will not be shared without your explicit consent.
