"Brussels Airlines has 2 'fume' incidents in 3 days."
Summary:
There have been two so-called 'fume' incidents at Brussels Airlines in three days. This involves heavily contaminated, toxic air from the engines in the cabin or in the cockpit. On Saturday, after the landing, the entire crew had to go to the hospital to the emergency department and yesterday, pilots had to land with their oxygen mask.
"We realize that fume events are a problem that occurs throughout the industry" the airline reacts.
"Toxic vapors are due to lax maintenance" claims a former SN technician.

Summary:
Part of the incidents with toxic air could have been avoided according to a technician who worked for years at Brussels Airlines. Maintenance protocol would not be strictly followed. "Replacing the oil is too lax, causing leaks." The airline denies:" We always strictly follow the procedures."
"Brussels Airlines knows where vapors are coming from. But ignores it"
