This eye-opening documentary tells the ongoing story of what some airline crews claim is the biggest cover up in aviation history, and a health issue on the scale of smoking or asbestos. The claim is this: for nearly fifty years, passengers and crews have been supplied with unfiltered air to breathe, air taken directly from the engines, even though this air supply is known to become contaminated with neurotoxins, carcinogens and other hazardous chemicals. With unique access into the aviation industry, the filmmaker, a former airline captain, reveals the serious consequences of such exposure on flight safety, and on passenger and crew health.
If the problem is so grave, why have so few people heard of it? Well, the issue is currently under official investigation in the UK by the government appointed Committee on Toxicity (COT), but as Loraine cautions, they “appear to be looking after industry interests rather than passenger and crew health and flight safety”. Required viewing for flyers.
Welcome Aboard Toxic Airlines tells the story of what some airline crews claim is the biggest cover up in aviation history. Passengers and crews for nearly fifty years have been supplied with unfiltered air to breath, taken directly from the engines, even though this air supply is known to become contaminated with engine oil containing neurotoxins, carcinogens and other hazardous chemicals.
With unique access into the aviation industry, the filmmaker, a former airline captain, reveals for the first time the serious exposure consequences on flight safety, passenger and crew health, of those who have and continue to be unknowingly exposed. The film reveals an issue many call the asbestos of the aviation industry with contaminated air exposures continuing daily to plague the aviation industry. The film said by the Ecologist to be 'A deadly corporate cover-up forensically exposed.' looks at the history, the politics, the serious health effects and the flight safety issues of contaminated air on aircraft and tells the viewer exactly what the airlines forget to mention in the pre-flight safety briefing!
