Interjet in talks with Sukhoi to sell SSJ100 fleet
Interjet is in talks with Sukhoi to sell its Superjet 100 fleet, following a series of maintenance issues over the aircraft's 5 years of service at the airline. "We're finalising an amicable negotiation with Sukhoi," Interjet CE Jose Luis Garza said. Garza indicates that an outcome could be reached within days. Sukhoi did not respond to queries for comment. Interjet is the only SSJ100 operator in the Americas, and began revenue service with the type in Sept 2013. The carrier has 21 SSJ100s in service, with 1 aircraft in storage and another 8 on order. Its plan to sell the SSJ100 fleet comes after several episodes in which the airline was forced to ground part of the fleet over mechanical issues. In Q2, the airline received compensation of almost US$40m for maintenance costs related to its SSJ100 fleet. <br/>
