A KLM Cityhopper Embraer ERJ-195-E2, registration PH-NXF performing flight KL-1651 from Amsterdam (Netherlands) to Venice (Italy) with 120 people on board, was climbing through FL355 out of Amsterdam when the crew decided to divert to Dusseldorf (Germany) reporting the smell of smoke on board. Descending through FL290 towards Dusseldorf the Mode-S transponders stopped sending data. The aircraft landed safely in Dusseldorf about 55 minutes after departure. After landing the Mode-S transponders resumed operation.

Local Police reported the aircraft diverted due to the smell of smoke on board. All on board were able to disembark without injuries.
