Cabin and airport pressure

Normally the airplanes are supposed to keep cabin pressure at or below 8000 feet at all times. If it exceeds 10 000 feet, there is warning horn, and at 14 000 feet, masks in cabin drop out.

What happens, however, if the originating or destination airport is located near or above 8000 feet?
