This states that the AAIU decided not to investigate the incident. The 38 reported fume events in 12 months is equivalent to 7,500 people on planes. We see in America that there are fears about plane-makers. If there is a problem, it should be examined to the fullest. We are just talking about one airline, as far as we are aware. There was another incident in the last few weeks. One of the fume incidents was on an Airbus A330, with 250 passengers on it. As the Deputy said, when we are informed of this, we have a duty to take it further and try to investigate as much as we can. That means bringing in Mr. O'Riordan at the earliest possible opportunity and bringing back in the three bodies to ask them questions.
