A Damojh employee in Mexico City declined to comment, saying the company would be communicating only through written statements. 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. He and other Guyanese authorities said they did not immediately know if the crew suspended last May was the same one that died in Friday's crash. Mexican aviation authorities said a team of experts would fly to Cuba on Saturday to take part in the investigation.
