Aircraft: Air Conditioning

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the recently published Civil Aviation Authority statistics on incidence of smoke or fumes in aeroplane cabins.

Answer

No such assessments have been made. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) monitors the frequency and severity of such smoke or fume events through the Mandatory Occurrence Reporting Scheme (MORS). Its objectives are to ensure that the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is advised of any hazardous, or potentially hazardous, incidents and defects (occurrences), and that appropriate action is taken.
