A Qantas cabin crew member was hospitalized in Melbourne after becoming ill as a result of an 'unusual' smell reported from the aircraft flight deck shortly prior to landing.
The event occurred shortly after 20:00 local time on October 26, 2023, when flight QF1527 landed at Melbourne Airport (MEL) from Canberra Airport (CBR).
The emergency medical team was on standby and swiftly transported the cabin staff to a nearby hospital for a medical check-up.

The rest of the flight crew pilots and flight attendants were all declared physically well and were checked by paramedics. None of the passengers were affected by the smell.
“Pilots on a flight from Canberra to Melbourne reported an unusual smell in the flight deck before landing. The aircraft landed normally and the pilots and crew were assessed by ambulance officers on arrival in Melbourne,” a Qantas spokesperson told various Australian media outlets.
“The pilots did not require any treatment, however, one cabin crew member was taken to hospital for further medical checks. No passengers were impacted by the smell and the aircraft is being checked by engineering,” the spokesperson further said.
The incident had no effect on other aircraft.
