A review of two Airbus A380 flights is provided that involved reported contaminated air via the aircraft air supply system. Details of the flight, short- and longer-term effects on the crew and key flight safety implications are provided. The pattern of effects identified are consistent with those seen in other contaminated air events, with a clear need for airline operational improvements and a suitable medical protocol to be developed.
