HR 7926 United States House · 118th Congress

Airline Travelers Right to Know Act

HR 7926, the Airline Travelers Right to Know Act, requires airlines to disclose potential toxic fume exposure risks to passengers before ticket purchase and to crew members. It mandates that airlines provide specific information about harmful chemicals (including those linked to cancer or birth defects) in jet fumes, safety measures to prevent exposure, and procedures for responding to fume events. Airlines must install toxic fume sensors, make oxygen masks available for crew during incidents, and immediately notify passengers and crew if fumes are detected. The bill directly affects passengers, pilots, and cabin crew by ensuring they receive clear, pre-travel health information and safety protocols. Violations, such as missing reports or false statements, trigger civil penalties up to $100,000.
