Agreed. Some of the reporting is a bit suss however. I really doubt they would have flown from shortly after TOC to HKG on one engine.
I also seriously doubt this tidbit of info from a report in the SCMP.
A Cathay Pacific flight quality controller said it was extremely rare for an engine to break down during a flight unless it was hit by an object such as a bird or birds.
"Even with both engines dead, our planes still have a backup power supply that should allow it to glide for up to hour, with the help of flaps and spoilers.
Anyway it all in the Fragrant harbour forum. Well done guys
