Some lessors repossessed four of Interjet’s Airbus A320 airplanes, the airline said, claiming a dispute on the terms of the leasing. These four airplanes flew over the last few days from Mexico to Phoenix, Arizona, where they have been parked at Phoenix Goodyear Airport. But, there could be more than just four airplanes.

Earlier, a member of the Mexican carrier told me that, indeed, some lessors were repossessing some of the planes of Interjet. This person, who asked for anonymity, said,
“There were some contracts with some leasing companies that we didn’t approve. Their conditions were abusive. They decided to repossess their planes and we have no problem with that. Currently what every airline in the world wants is to cut its costs as most as possible.”
Then, the person added that Interjet currently doesn’t know if it will recover those repossessed airplanes in the future. “We can’t tell you because no one knows. No one knows what is going to happen. This is the most adverse scenario the world has ever faced.”
