Narrative:

As we were slowing and configuring to land at ZZZ1. I asked for flaps 5 degrees. The captain selected flaps 5 degrees at which time the indicator moved about .5 degrees for the right side and 0 degrees for the left and stopped. No leading edge device moved at all. The captain and our observer (another company pilot) started the checklist while I leveled off and told tower that we had a flap problem that we needed to work on and break off the approach. In the meantime; the captain had made the decision to head to ZZZ2. I relayed that to tower and we were given vectors out of the area toward ZZZ2. On the way to ZZZ2 we ran through the QRH and our options. Ran the numbers for landing at 0 degrees flaps and no leading edge; and with leading edge. Upon contacting ZZZ2 approach control; we asked for xxr but it was closed; so we landed on xxl. We had the emergency equipment roll just in case; but had an uneventful landing and taxi to the gate. I believe that we all handled the problem well. All 6 of us did a great job getting the plane safely and quickly on the ground.

Narrative: AS WE WERE SLOWING AND CONFIGURING TO LAND AT ZZZ1. I ASKED FOR FLAPS 5 DEGS. THE CAPT SELECTED FLAPS 5 DEGS AT WHICH TIME THE INDICATOR MOVED ABOUT .5 DEGS FOR THE R SIDE AND 0 DEGS FOR THE L AND STOPPED. NO LEADING EDGE DEVICE MOVED AT ALL. THE CAPT AND OUR OBSERVER (ANOTHER COMPANY PLT) STARTED THE CHKLIST WHILE I LEVELED OFF AND TOLD TWR THAT WE HAD A FLAP PROB THAT WE NEEDED TO WORK ON AND BREAK OFF THE APCH. IN THE MEANTIME; THE CAPT HAD MADE THE DECISION TO HEAD TO ZZZ2. I RELAYED THAT TO TWR AND WE WERE GIVEN VECTORS OUT OF THE AREA TOWARD ZZZ2. ON THE WAY TO ZZZ2 WE RAN THROUGH THE QRH AND OUR OPTIONS. RAN THE NUMBERS FOR LNDG AT 0 DEGS FLAPS AND NO LEADING EDGE; AND WITH LEADING EDGE. UPON CONTACTING ZZZ2 APCH CTL; WE ASKED FOR XXR BUT IT WAS CLOSED; SO WE LANDED ON XXL. WE HAD THE EMER EQUIP ROLL JUST IN CASE; BUT HAD AN UNEVENTFUL LNDG AND TAXI TO THE GATE.
