A Smartwings Boeing 737-800, registration OK-TVG performing flight QS-2816 from Prague (Czech Republic) to Djerba (Tunisia), was enroute at FL350 about 110nm eastnortheast of Rome (Italy) when the crew decided to shut their left hand engine (CFM56) down due to oil quantity and pressure indications. The aircraft landed safely on Rome's runway 16L about 30 minutes later.

However, some time later the crew observed the oil pressure was decreasing, therefore the crew then shut the engine down.
