Interjet has announced the launch of a new flight to San Pedro Sula, Honduras in April, as well as an increase to routes and destinations in Colombia. It is undetermined where the Honduras route will connect from but there is speculation it is to be either Mexico City or Cancun.
The LCC also intends to develop its operations in Colombia, operating a new connection between Mexico City and Cali. At present, Interjet flies to the cities of Cartagena, Medellin and Bogota, meaning that Cali would become its fourth Colombian destination.
The airline currently provides routes to seven countries in Latin America in addition to Mexico. The launch of this new route to Honduras would see Interjet become the main Mexican operator in Central America, connecting to Guatemala, El Salvador and Costa Rica.
Interjet CEO, William Shaw stated “We are also trying to get a new route to Bogota, from a new city. So, we would launch two new routes (to this country) this year.”
In February, Interjet owed over $150m in taxes and other items and has been facing the problems with its Sukhoi aircraft fleet.
