CO diversion

CO operates daily 777 service between IAH and NRT . For the incident mentioned, the aircraft had a loss of oil quantity and oil pressure on one engine. The crew did an in-flight shutdown iaw their procedures, and diverted to their ETOPS alternate, PMDY, Henderson Field, Sand Island, Midway Atoll, in the Pacific Ocean.

Midway Atoll is roughly 1150 Nautical miles from Honolulu, and the airport has limited facilities for passenger handling.
