Airplane passengers and crew would get safer air with new training and monitors.
This bill aims to make airplane air safer for everyone on board. It would require airlines to install continuous air quality monitors and train staff to handle fume events. It also creates a public system to report and track these events, giving passengers and crew more transparency.
Today, there isn't a comprehensive system for annual training, standardized reporting, or mandatory continuous air quality monitoring for fume events on commercial aircraft. If this bill passes, airlines would need to install continuous air quality monitors on planes within six months, and flight crews and first responders would get annual training on how to respond to fume events. The public would also gain access to a searchable database of reported incidents, providing more transparency about air quality on flights.
