A Medavia Canadair CRJ-1000, registration 9H-LOJ performing positioning flight 5M-3246 from Valencia,SP (Spain) to Porto (Portugal) with 4 crew, was descending towards Porto when the crew stopped the descent at FL150 declaring Mayday and reporting they had a right hand engine (CF34) failure, the engine was shut down. The crew requested to enter a hold to work their checklists, queried whether Porto was still using low visibility procedures (CAT II), and decided to divert to Lisbon (Portugal). The aircraft maintained FL150 on the flight to Lisbon and landed safely on Lisbon's runway 03 about 50 minutes after declaring Mayday.

The aircraft was to take the soccer team of Santa Clara (Portugal) to Ljubljana (Slovenia) for their UEFA Europa Conference League qualitification match scheduled to take place on Aug 12th 2021.

A replacement CRJ-1000 registration 9H-LKF was dispatched to Porto and arrived with a delay of about 5 hours and is currently on the way to Slovenia.
