A smoke mitigation system for an aircraft includes an exhaust shutter in an upper region of a fuselage of the aircraft. The exhaust shutter has a closed position in which the exhaust shutter does not exchange air from outside of the fuselage with air inside of a passenger cabin that is within the fuselage and an open position in which the exhaust shutter exchanges air from outside of the fuselage and inside of the passenger cabin, thereby enabling escape of smoke from the passenger cabin. The system includes one or more devices for opening the exhaust shutter and a device for initiating opening of the exhaust shutter. The device for initiating opening of the exhaust shutter includes mechanisms for determining that it is safe to open the exhaust shutter.
