easyJet to fit cabin air filters to reduce toxic contaminated air risk


Airline easyJet is to fit cabin air filters to its aircraft to reduce the risk of toxic contaminated air entering airplane cabins and harming cabin crew and passengers. Unite, which represents over 25,000 cabin crew working for airlines operating out of the UK, described the move as a potential “game-changer” and an acknowledgement of the health problems caused by contaminated bleed air and fume events onboard aircraft. Unite has repeated its call for a public inquiry into toxic cabin air.
