A Cargo Air Boeing 737-400 on behalf of DHL, registration LZ-CGU performing freight flight QY-917 from Kiev Borispol (Ukraine) to Leipzig (Germany), was enroute at FL340 about 90nm northeast of Katowice (Poland) when the right hand engine (CFM56) flamed out. The crew worked the related checklist "Engine failure or shutdown", attempted to restart the engine without success and decided to divert to Katowice. The aircraft landed safely on Katowice's runway 09 about 45 minutes after leaving FL340.
Poland's PKBWL reported the crew diverted to Katowice with one engine inoperative but without declaring emergency, emergency services were on stand by for the uneventful landing however. The occurrence was rated a serious incident and is being investigated.
