Flybe "Noxious" air problem

[Wings11]

Hi All

This doesnt look very good.. Crews on the flybe 146's unhappy with the leak of "noxious" air internally

What would you say, comes in through the engines and then through the air-conditioning?

Well Judging by this quote in the Article

"Air is bled off from the engines and cooled before being piped inside the plane, but campaigners say fumes from engine oil can sometimes leak into the air system causing them to be inhaled by crew and passengers."

I would say you are right.. not good though is it!

I dont think any other 146's are having that problem thought, i havent heard anything.

I bet you any money that flybe's maintenance will be put under the spot-light.

We'll have to wait and see I suppose:confused:

Ive not seen a Flybe 146 coming into Southampton for ages now. They have introduced the new Embraer 195's by me.
