2000 On 12 October 2000 the Senate Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport Legislation Committee reported on Air Safety and Cabin Air Quality in the BAe 146 Aircraft following many reported cases of fumes. A history of such events and related factors was examined with resulting recommendations for national standards for air flows. CASA later issued a directive for the grounding of any Australian BAe 146 aircraft with cabin fumes. However, the aircraft's British makers rejected the findings.
