Delta Air Lines flight DL127, an Airbus A330-323, suffered engine issues while en route over the North Atlantic Ocean.
While in cruise, the flight crew felt a shudder and yaw to the left. The ECAM indicated a No.1 engine stall and a N1 drop. The thrust lever was reduced to idle while the EGT continued to increase, and the checklist was completed resulting in the engine being shut down. The decision was made to declare an emergency and divert to Lajes International Airport (LPLA), Portugal. The flight landed without further incident. Maintenance was deployed and the No.1 engine was replaced.
