In a programme to be aired on Sunday evening, the Dutch TV news programme Zembla claims that smoke severely affected two recent flights by Royal Dutch Airlines (KLM) Fokker 100 passenger planes.

The crews of both flights, which took place in December last year, experienced dizziness
and, in one case, were compelled to use their oxygen masks to continue breathing. One of the flights had to be cancelled.
In the programme, Zembla says the problem is the result of a structural defect caused by oil leaks in the engines. This results in toxic smoke getting into the plane's air-conditioning system.

Zembla says there have been frequent complaints about the problem - from KLM as well as other airlines - but that no solution has been found. It also claims that a number of pilots have been left with permanent health problems. The problem is thought to occur mainly in Fokker 70s and 100s, and in the Boeing 757.
