Apparently this same plane (G-OMYT) has had a number of instances of shutdowns. Always the right engine, too. Odd. Can't be good for keeping ETOPS...

Incident: Thomas Cook A332 near Shannon on Nov 9th 2012, engine malfunction
Incident: Thomas Cook A332 near Belfast on Nov 17th 2012, engine shut down in flight
