If there is a cabin depressurisation problem, an emergency signal should be given ‘May Day’ or ‘Pan Pan’ from the crew.
And the flight must descent to 10,000 ft or the lowest safe altitude and must land with the permission of the relevant ATC authorities. Oxygen masks should be deployed to all passengers.
In May last year, the pilot was delivering a message just one minute before landing near Karachi airport in Pakistan. But unfortunately, the plane crashed into a residential area and more than 90 people lost their lives in the crash, leaving a devastating impact.
