Welcome Aboard Toxic Airlines

Ex-commercial airline pilot Tristan Loraine produces and directs this expose of potentially hazardous airline practices that somehow never quite make it into the pre-flight safety briefing. For nearly half-a-century, crews and passengers aboard major airlines have been unknowingly exposed to hazardous air containing carcinogens and neurotoxins. Despite the fact that the airline industry has been well-aware of this alarming piece of information for decades, word has still not gotten out to the public that they could be risking their health every time they board an airplane. Then, in 2001, Loraine was piloting a commercial airliner when union rep and trusted colleague Dave Hopkinson phoned him with some startling news: Loraine, his crew, and their passengers had been exposed to deadly fumes in the cockpit of a Boeing 757, and the airline industry was working diligently to cover that information up. Just as Loraine began to investigate, he fell ill as a result of his exposure to the contaminated air. His childhood dreams of flight shattered when informed by doctors that he would never pilot a plane again, Loraine used the money given to him by his former employer to produce this eye-opening expose of questionable airline practices. Could it be that several deadly plane crashes, including the 2005 Helios tragedy – were the result of pilots who fell ill mid-flight? And what effect could the contaminated air have on the average pilot’s cognitive function and judgment skills? For anyone who’s afraid of flying, Lorraine’s shocking expose opens up a whole new Pandora’s Box of problems in regards to the so-called “safest form of travel.”, Here’s a documentary that might take your breath away. It’s a revealing and insightful exposé that examines passengers’ and crews’ exposure to contaminants in the air on commercial airliners. The film alleges that there’s been a cover-up involving various governments and the aviation industry, and that the pollution constitutes health and safety violations. Included are comments by pilots, flight attendants, doctors and scientists. Produced, written and directed by Tristan Loraine.
