LA-1376 from Quito to Cuenca (Ecuador), was on final approach to Cuenca's runway 06 when the right hand engine began to emit a series of bangs and streaks of flames prompting the crew to go around. The crew subsequently decided to divert to Guayaquil. The aircraft climbed to 17000 feet and landed safely on Guayaquil's runway 03 about 35 minutes after the go around.
The airline reported the aircraft experienced "an event".
The aircraft is still on the ground in Guayaquil about 18 hours after landing.
