Mr. Miguel Aleman Velasco, Chairman of the Board Interjet and Mr. Miguel Aleman Magnani, Executive President of Interjet visited the Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft at Toluca airport, in Mexico.

The aircraft SSJ100 S/N 97004 was present at the Toluca hub, closed to the Interjet maintenance centre, in order to accomplish high-altitude tests.
On this occasion, Interjet management had the opportunity to go on board and visit the aircraft’s interiors.

Mr. Miguel Aleman Velasco and Mr. Miguel Aleman Magnani appreciated the ample and comfortable cabin which perfectly matches Interjet’s quality standards.

Moreover, the Mexican Interjet chose the new generation regional jet SSJ100 because of its operational efficiency in the high altitude/high temperature typical of Mexico. Actually, the first results of the certification campaign in Toluca are confirming the excellent performance of the aircraft.

Interjet is currently the 2nd airline in the Mexican domestic market and a highly recognized airline in the Latin American region. With thirty-one A320 aircraft, Interjet is prepared to introduce the Sukhoi Superjet 100 fleet as the ideal complement of its fleet.

In January 2011 the Mexican airline signed a contract with SuperJet International for the purchase of 15 Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSJ100) aircraft in the 98 seat configuration, plus 5 options. The first deliveries are scheduled for the second half of 2012.
