The AVIATION HERALD reports:

​Accident: Lufthansa A346 at Frankfurt on Sep 19th 2018, fumes on board affect passengers and crew

All Rights ©: By Simon Hradecky, Aviation Herald created Wednesday, Sep 19th 2018 22:10Z, last updated Wednesday, Sep 19th 2018 22:10Z

A Lufthansa Airbus A340-600, registration D-AIHY performing flight LH-444 from Frankfurt/Main (Germany) to Atlanta,GA (USA), was climbing out of Frankfurt's runway 25C when the crew stopped the climb at FL100 reporting they had a "smell event" on board, "es stinkt nach Öl/ Verbrennung/ irgendwas, ziemlich massiv" (translation: it stinks of oil, burning, something, rather massive). The crew indicated that the aircraft was completely okay, however, it was possible they would not continue the flight, they wanted to remain in the vicinity of the airport while troubleshooting. A number of passengers began to complain about nausea and dizziness. About 20 minutes after levelling off at FL100 the crew advised their decision was taken, a number of crew reported being dizzy because of the odour, they didn't want to risk anything, they were therefore returning to Frankfurt, fuel dump was not necessary, time was more important, a normal landing was to be expected. The aircraft landed safely back on runway 25C about 40 minutes after departure.

A replacement A340-600 registration D-AIHV reached Atlanta with a delay of 5 hours.

The occurrence aircraft is still on the ground 12 hours after landing back.

And so it goes the Airbus is not solving the fume/smell issue; they just wrote a disclaimer about mechs not servicing or lubricating some things correctly and that is it. In reality they either have no clue what is the cause or they know but it is too expensive...either way people suffer; imagine all of us in 20 years when the doctor says "you have been exposed to a certain mix of gases and your lungs dont work so well and also your neural links are damaged but since we cant trace back the source you pay your own treatment"...cool...
I'm in the industry so with many of my coleagues that is a possible reality....what we do for the money....which we will spend back to hope to get better....
