All airliners (except the 787) use the same technology when it comes to air supply. They even buy the equipment from the same suppliers (engines, heat exchanger, ozone converter, packs…).
The risk of fumes is exactly the same on all brands (again, except the 787).
- ashtonkem 6y agoThat’s not true. The actual design of the bleed system matters a lot, as does the recommendations for seal maintenance.
- benhurmarcel 6y agoThe fumes come from the engine, there's nothing the bleed system can do to mitigate that. All bleed components already don't use any lubricant, they don't add any fume. Also all bleed systems across the whole industry have an extremely similar architecture. So in the end the component that really matters for this is the engine. And both Airbus and Boeing use very similar engines from the same suppliers. And the engine manufacturer defines the maintenance tasks for it.
