Narrative:
While enroute to destination airport; we experienced a thrust lever fault that resulted in the #1 engine remaining in the idle condition. No action on the part of the crew was able to gain useful control of the engine. We declared an emergency with center and changed our destination to another airport because of the longer runway. When in the approach phase and initiating flaps; we received a warning that the flaps (trailing edge) faulted and were locked out from further movement. The appropriate non-normal procedure was executed and the flight landed safely. There is also a question as to whether a ferry permit was required or not for this flight. This issue is being sorted out as there was not one aboard.
