It’s extremely rare for an airplane to lose an engine while flying, but they are designed to reach their destination on one, says this aviation expert.

That is what they are designed to do. But while a plane can fly on one engine, it is very rare for an engine to go down in the middle of a flight.
Reports the plane’s air-conditioning subsequently stopped working suggests to me the crew probably had to turn off some systems to achieve their goal of landing successfully back in Sydney.When an event like this happens, pilots have a process for scanning their instrumentation to isolate and figure out what’s happening.
