Mexican judge rules in favor of plaintiffs in 2018 Cuba plane crash that killed 112
- A Mexican judge ruled the 2018 Cuba crash was caused by maintenance failures and should never have flown.
- The court ordered Aerolíneas Damojh to pay $1.5 million to each of the four Mexican crew members' families.
- An independent expert called the crash an 'institutional accident' due to maintenance negligence.
- The incident involved a Boeing 737 leased by Global Air for Cubana de Aviación and occurred after departing Havana.
- The lawsuit continues with a class-action suit and a criminal homicide complaint pending in Mexico.
- Attorney Samuel González called the ruling groundbreaking for Mexico.
- The crash is tied to Cubana de Aviación's use of a leased aircraft with prior maintenance issues.
- The company appeared in absentia as the trial proceeded.
- Authorities have not yet commented on the progress of related investigations.
- The crash remains one of Cuba’s deadliest aviation disasters in decades.
