Mexican aviation authorities are suspending a Mexican charter company that owned a passenger jet that crashed in Cuba, killing 110 people.

The General Directorate of Civil Aviation said Monday in a statement that the decision was made to carry out an “extraordinary” review to verify whether Aerolineas Damojh is complying with the law. Damojh uses the commercial name Global Air.

Authorities also want to compile information to help with an investigation launched by the Cuban government into the cause of Friday’s crash.

Both Mexico and the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board have announced they would send experts to Cuba. Havana has also said that Boeing, which made the airliner in question, is participating.

The 39-year-old aircraft was being rented from Damojh by Cuban state-run airline Cubana de Aviacion.
