A Delta Airlines Airbus A320-200, registration N345NW performing flight DL-2525 from Hartford,CT to Minneapolis,MN (USA) with 160 people on board, was enroute at FL340 about 20nm north of Buffalo,NY (USA) in Canadian Airspace when the crew needed to shut the right hand engine (CFM56) down and decided to divert to Buffalo. The aircraft landed safely on Buffalo's runway 23 about 40 minutes later.

The remainder of the flight was cancelled.

The aircraft positioned to Minneapolis on Jul 28th 2025 and returned to service on Jul 30th 2025.

The Canadian TSB reported: "Approximately 30 minutes after takeoff, the flight crew received an ENG 2 COMPRESSOR VANE ECAM (Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitor) message, though engine parameters remained within normal limits. After consulting with maintenance, the crew elected to continue the flight. Roughly 30 seconds later, an ENG 2 STALL ECAM message was displayed, followed by an ENG 2 EGT OVER LIMIT message. The crew subsequently shut down engine number 2 after completing the appropriate quick reference handbook (QRH) procedures. A Mayday was declared, and the flight diverted to Buffalo Niagara International Airport (KBUF), NY, where the aircraft landed without further incident."
