Lessors repossess 24 Airbus aircraft from Interjet.

Over the past 36 hours China’s ICBC Leasing has joined the ranks of lessors repossessing aircraft from Interjet.
The Beijing-based lessor has repossessed two 2016-vintage Airbus A321s from the Mexican low-cost carrier.
Aviation Capital Group (ACG) and Aircastle have also reclaimed more of their aircraft.
As of 31 March, 24 of the airline’s 65 Airbus A320- and A320neo-family aircraft had been repossessed. Lessors with exposure are telling AFJ that
more repossessions will take place over the coming days.
“Basically, it’s a default situation. Interjet has not been very transparent. They’ve always been quite wishy-washy, saying we’re going to pay on
this date or that date but when the date comes there’s still no payment so we’ve lost our patience with them,” a lessor involved tells AFJ on
condition of anonymity.
These 24 aircraft have been repossessed to date: two 2019-vintage A320neos from GECAS; three 2017-vintage A320neos and two 2010-built
A320s from Aercap; four 2018-vintage A321neos from ACG; two 2000- and two 2008-vintage A320s from Aircastle; three 2017-vintage A321s and
two 2012-vintage A320s from Wings Capital; two 2016-vintage A321s from ICBC Leasing; a 2008-built A320 from Magix Airlease (managed by
Orix); and a 2006-vintage A320 from Zephyrus Aviation Capital.
Interjet stopped releasing financials after 31 March 2019 but before that its cash position decreased gradually over the years to just $21 million
at 31 December 2018 from $200 million five years earlier.
The airline’s direct order with Airbus for 28 additional A320neos remains questionable at best.
