A Qatar Airways Airbus A350-900, registration A7-ALH performing flight QR-817 from Hong Kong (China) to Doha (Qatar), was enroute at FL400 about 220nm eastsoutheast of Karachi (Pakistan) still in India's airspace when the crew descended the aircraft to FL360 and set course towards Karachi. About 10 minutes later, now 130nm eastsoutheast of Karachi the crew decided to shut an engine (Trent XWB) down due to engine oil issues and to divert to Karachi for a safe landing on runway 07R about 30 minutes after leaving FL360.
