The aircraft departed for flight AB-7515 to Dusseldorf about 6:45 hours after landing of flight AB-7610.
On May 11th 2017 the occurrence became known to The Aviation Herald in the aftermath of another occurrence, see Incident: Berlin A332 at Dusseldorf on May 10th 2017, odour on board. The source told The Aviation Herald, that most of the crew were affected by fumes, at least one flight attendant was on sick leave for more than a year with fume related symptoms like respiratory problems as result of damage to the lungs and resulting reduced performance capabilities. The occurrence had been reported to Germany's BFU, however, no investigation had been opened.
On May 15th 2017 Germany's BFU confirmed that the BFU received four occurrence reports involving D-ABXD since 2015 including the occurrence of Aug 9th 2015 and May 10th 2017. All but the last had not been rated a serious incident and accident, therefore no investigation into these occurrence had been opened. Information is still being collected for the last occurrence of May 10th 2017, the occurrence will be rated subsequently. While the BFU answered the question, how many occurrences involving D-ABXD since August 2015 had been reported to the BFU, additional questions like ground times following such occurrences or whether the occurrences were checked for possible common factors, that could be identified as causes of the occurrences or could be ruled out as causes, remained unanswered.
