A Jazz Aviation de Havilland Dash 8-100, registration C-GJSV performing flight QK-8757 from Montreal,QC to Rouyn,QC (Canada) with 16 people on board, was descending through 8000 feet towards Rouyn when the crew donned their oxygen masks and declared emergency reporting a loud noise of unknown origin and smoke in the cockpit. Cabin crew advised there was no smoke in the cabin, a short time later the lavatory smoke alarm activated however. The crew shut down both bleed air systems and observed the smoke lessened afterwards. The aircraft landed safely and taxied to the apron, where the passengers disembarked.

The Canadian TSB reported the aircraft had already been involved in a smoke incident 3 days earlier, see Incident: Jazz DH8A at Quebec on Jan 4th 2013, smoke on board, after which the right hand engine had been replaced. Maintenance determined following the new event that oil had entered the environmental control system at the left hand engine resulting in oil related haze. The aircraft is to be ferried to Montreal for investigation and troubleshooting.
