Volaris flight V4 824, an Airbus A320, diverted to Cancún, Mexico, after it developed engine problems en route to Chetumal.
The aircraft was flying at FL350 about one hour and five minutes after takeoff when the oil pressure of engine no.1 dropped.
The engine temperature rose, and smoke developed, which activated the fire sensor.
The crew decided to divert to Cancún, where a safe landing was made about 45 minutes later.
