Interjet compensated for SSJ100 maintenance costs
Mexican carrier Interjet received MXN733m (US$39.6m) in compensation for maintenance costs for its Sukhoi Superjet 100 fleet, after the airline was forced to ground at least 4 SSJ100s in the past year or so. The airline says the amount, recorded in its Q2 financial results, is an estimate of contractual recovery of the costs related to maintenance of its SSJ100s. Interjet recorded maintenance-related expenses of MXN652m in Q2, as part of overall operating expenses that rose 21% in the period to MXN6.18b. It notes that the compensation of MXN733m had helped offset its expenses. A report by Bloomberg earlier this year said that Interjet had grounded 4r SSJ100s and was cannibalising the aircraft for parts to keep its remaining SSJ100 fleet in service. <br/>
