A Swiss International Air Lines Boeing 777 300 (SWR40) from Zurich, Switzerland (LSZH) to Los Angeles, CA (KLAX) declared a PAN PAN due to engine failure at 1825Z. The aircraft descended to FL220 and diverted to Iqaluit, NU (CYFB) on single engine. SWR40 requested emergency services at destination. The aircraft landed safely without incident at 2003Z. No impact to operations.
