Ukraine's Ministry of Transport reported that maintenance subsequently identified a coincidence of following factors contributing to the cabin not pressurizing correctly:
- pressure regulator and bleed air control valve operating incorrectly
- the right hand engine did not supply bleed air
- the upper pressure emergency relief valve was not tightly closed resulting in increased leakage of cabin air
The causes of the valve malfunctions could not be determined.
