The passengers were bussed to Guayaquil.
Ecuador's DGCA reported the crew declared emergency in flight and diverted to Manta where the aircraft landed normally and taxied to the apron.
Passengers reported the aircraft jolted, sparks and flames were seen from the right hand engine and bangs were heard, the passenger oxygen masks came down, the lights extinguished temporarily and everybody clinched on their masks. The aircraft entered a steep descent, a burning smell developed on board. About one hour later the aircraft landed in Manta.
So far no photos are available of the right hand engine that could answer whether the engine failure was uncontained as suspected by witnesses in Ecuador.
