The Airline Travelers Right to Know Act requires commercial airlines to disclose information about potential toxic fume exposure to passengers, pilots, and crew members. Within 180 days of enactment, the Federal Aviation Administration must establish and enforce a policy requiring airlines to inform passengers about toxic fumes during ticket purchase and check-in, describe health risks, explain safety protections, and confirm passengers' understanding of the exposure risk. The bill mandates immediate notification to affected parties when toxic fumes are detected onboard aircraft and requires crew members to be informed of past exposures on their assigned aircraft, with the right to decline assignments on affected planes without penalty. Airlines must install toxic fume detection sensors and provide mobile oxygen masks to crew members within 15 days of enactment. The legislation imposes civil penalties of $100,000 for missing required reports and additional penalties for violations or false statements about toxic fume incidents.
