But thanks to the professionalism of the crew members who managed to restore an acceptable pressure by urgently descending the Boeing 737-800 to 10,000 feet, the aircraft was able to land safely on the airport runway half an hour later.

Since this incident, the aircraft has remained grounded. The Moroccan airline wants to scan it to identify the exact source of the problem, before any new flight. In this regard, RAM officials would even have contacted Boeing to request possible technical assistance.
