Some 28 aircraft had been flown to various places for storage in the US, including Phoenix, Roswell, and Tucson over the last five days or so. Now, aviation consultant IBA Group Ltd and AirFinance Journal have both said that various lessors had run out of patience with the airline and repossessed the aircraft as doubts about the carriers liquidity circulate.
Bloomberg Intelligence analyst George Ferguson said: “It looks like lessors want to get their planes out before they go into default, - Interjet is probably not a long-term survivor.”
So far, no leasing firm has confirmed it had repossessed any aircraft from Interjet and the airline itself has cited the news stories as "It’s absolutely false," Simplyflying quoted an Interjet statement advising the story was an "intentional campaign that wants to mislead the flying public and the investors."
