4.74 With regard to the Ansett Odour Inquiry Committee referred to earlier in this chapter, the Committee notes evidence from a flight attendant, who served on this committee, that the Committee was wound up for unexplained reasons without completing its investigations.79
4.75 The AFAP was critical of the work done by NJS and Qantas in relation to dealing with fumes on the BAe 146. The Federation told the inquiry:
National Jet Systems appears to have done no independent testing or research itself, but has rather made an arrangement with Ansett to share information and test results.
Southern Australia maintenance and certain other expertise are undertaken by National Jet Systems as both operate the 146 within the Qantas group, and is believed to have undertaken some limited air sampling of its own, yet using procedures similar to those at Ansett.80
CASA’s support for airline action
4.76 In its submission to the inquiry CASA endorsed the initiatives undertaken by both Qantas and Ansett to deal with the problem of fumes on their BAe 146 aircraft. CASA stated it:
… is entirely satisfied that the BAe 146 aircraft in service with QANTAS and Ansett are safe for public transport and that the airlines have discharged their responsibilities to the public and regulator in maintaining the aircraft to the standards required. … CASA commends the responsible attitude demonstrated by the two Australian major carriers for their open and comprehensive research into the cabin environment on their aircraft. The research conducted by the two operators, particularly Ansett, is probably the most intensive ever carried out on in-service aircraft anywhere in the world and will certainly be used in setting even higher standards for future airliners.81

4.77 Mr Mick Toller, of CASA, told the inquiry during a public hearing on 13 March 2000:
It is interesting to us that on a first analysis the level of incidents in Ansett seems to have decreased significantly, to the extent that with their modified aircraft I do not believe we have had a single result yet of an incident that is attributable to smoke or fumes in an Ansett modified aircraft.82
4.78 However the Committee has received advice that many continuing reports of fume incidents on modified Ansett aircraft have been reported to Ansett. 83
CASA’s view on the significance of fumes on-board the aircraft
4.79 CASA outlined in its submission its views on the issue of air quality on the BAe 146 aircraft. According to the Authority:
A team of Australian medical experts has reviewed the test methods and results and has declared that there is no contaminant present in the cabin environment that will induce any long term or permanent effects on the passengers or crews. In particular, at no time was tricresylphosphate ever identified in any sample gathered in an Australian aircraft.
