Hej,

There were papers in Health Physics - I suppose they are the ones mentioned
by other radsafers. There was a presentation at the NRE V in Salzburg
(Natural Radiation Environment) some years ago about research conducted in
cooperation with Lufthansa. Recently the Swedish Radiation Protection
Institute (SSI) published a report on radiation doses from domestic flights
- I do not remember the exact title, but it should be easy for you to find
it.
