Mexican owner of plane in Havana crash has been subject of two complaintsThe Mexican charter company which owned the plane that crashed in Havana on Friday, killing 110 people, has been the subject of two serious complaints about its crews’ performance over the last decade, according to authorities in Guyana and a retired pilot for Cuba’s national airline. Mexican aviation authorities said a team of experts would fly to Cuba on Saturday to take part in the investigation. Mexican authorities said Damojh had permits needed to lease its aircraft and had passed a November 2017 verification of its maintenance program. In one instance, Guyanese authorities discovered suitcases stored in the plane’s toilet. An eyewitness to the crash, Rocio Martinez, said she heard a strange noise and looked up to see the plane with a turbine on fire.
