Interjet is declared bankrupt by a local Mexican judge

Interjet has been formally declared bankrupt by a Mexican judge according to Reuters.

Interjet ceased operations in December 2020, hampered by a crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Interjet was the third largest airline in Mexico.

Former Interjet employees launched a strike in January 2021 and seized most of the Interjet’s assets, including its airport counters at Mexico City Benito Juárez International.

The biofuel is made of a combination 27% Bio-KPS and 73% traditional jet-fuel.
