Both engine bleed air systems had been inadvertently left off for the departure, so the aircraft failed to pressurise. This resulted in a potentially hazardous situation for everyone onboard.
In this altitude window, the hypoxic exposure can be sufficient to affect cognitive performance and decision-making, raising significant concerns about crew and passenger safety.
