Oxygen bottles are placed near the flight deck in the nose compartment so the crew can access them quickly and the oxygen lines reach the cockpit masks with the shortest, simplest routing. This close proximity reduces delays during depressurization and keeps the heavy equipment out of the passenger cabin. Placing bottles in the cargo hold would delay access and raise safety concerns, overhead bins would complicate routing and maintenance, and under the floor would make serviceability and reliability more difficult. So, the nose compartment near the pilots is the most practical location for rapid, dependable crew oxygen access.
