three qantas cabin crew have been taken to hospital after being affected by fumes during a flight from perth to melbourne.

Paramedics treated the three after flight 476 landed at melbourne airport at 7.10pm (aest).

Ambulance victoria said the cabin crew members were suffering nausea and stinging eyes and were taken to the northern hospital for further treatment.

A qantas spokeswoman said the affected crew members started to feel ill about 20 minutes before landing at melbourne.


"they noticed some fumes in the cabin," she said.

The aircraft, a boeing 767, is being inspected by engineers to try to find the source of the leak.
