The Mexican low-cost airline Interjet lost almost all of its Airbus planes in the wake of the Corona crisis. Now we want new ones.

The leasing contracts expired. This meant that the aircraft had to be returned to the lessor as well. The new management around managing director Carlos del Valle will now try to build a new Airbus fleet, like simpleflying.com reported. And that despite the financial difficulties due to Corona. Four new aircraft of the A320 family are to be delivered as early as October.

Ten more are to follow in November, so that the corona year of the company with a fleet of 17 Airbus planes ends. But that's just the beginning. In the future, they want to be able to have a fleet of up to 120 aircraft. At the same time, del Valle also admits that it wants to discontinue the Sukhoi Superjet fleet. This would also mean that one intends to dissolve the contract with the Russian aircraft manufacturer Irkut.
