2.54 Ansett Australia advised the Committee that:
… at its worst in 1992, an odour report was generated on only 1.5 per cent of all Ansett BAe 146 flights. Today that figure is much lower, even with our compulsory reporting system …55
In 1992 engineering log reports showed an odour was reported once in every 66 flights. In the first half of this year, by contrast, engineering log reports recorded one odour occurrence in every 160 flights. Or, if we count only those events that cabin crew judged worth reporting, that figure is one report in every 460 flights. 56
2.55 Captain Trevor Jensen, Executive General Manager Operations and Inflight Services with Ansett told the inquiry:
In 1998 engineering odour reports were reduced to 0.7 per cent of flights. We had also introduced a cabin reporting system which yielded an odour report in less than one-half of one per cent of all BAe 146 flights. In the first half of the year, that figure has dropped again to an odour report of just 0.2 per cent of all flights for 1999.57
2.56 In a letter to the Committee dated 28 January 2000 Ansett advised that:
… 209 employees report some symptoms while crewing the BAe 146. Not all of these reports have been in relation to the occurrence of odours. Some

have occurred despite no smell and some may been due to other factors. Nearly all of the reported symptoms were minor irritant effects only.
There have been 29 Workers Compensation claims lodged with the company since 1985 (of which 13 have been accepted, 5 denied, 4 accepted 'without prejudice', 7 pending and 3 employees have resigned "on medical grounds”).
Two staff have taken legal action against Ansett in relation to alleged ill health from exposure to fumes on the BAe l46. One case was settled in Sydney this year and there is one case pending in WA.58
Incidence of Ansett fume reports
2.57 Ansett Australia during the inquiry stressed that the reason it appears to have so many reports of fumes on its BAe 146 aircraft, compared to other airlines in Australia and overseas, is that:
… we have made reporting odours compulsory to ensure we are fully aware of the extent of the issue and can take action on accurate and factual data. Unfortunately, that policy has exposed us to claims, which cannot be proven or substantiated, that the problem is more prevalent at Ansett than anywhere else.59
2.58 Captain Jensen of Ansett told the inquiry on 1 May 2000 that:
Ansett is the only airline in the world that has made reporting odours compulsory. As neither Ansett nor any other operator in our knowledge actively solicits odour reports on any other aircraft type we suggest the inquiry exercise caution in the interpretation of incident data.60
