Interjet (official legal name ABC Aerolíneas, S.A. de C.V.),[3] also known as Interjet Airlines, was a Mexican low-cost carrier headquartered in Mexico City.[4] The airline operated scheduled flights to and from various destinations within Mexico, as well as to and from the Caribbean, Central America, North America, and South America. The airline was a family business: until December 2010, the president and CEO was Miguel Alemán Magnani, son of Miguel Alemán Velasco, who is president of the group that owns the airline, Grupo Alemán. Alemán Velasco is in turn son of former President of Mexico Miguel Alemán Valdés, who amassed a fortune while in office from 1946 to 1952. [5][6][7][8]

As of December 2020, the Interjet CFO announced the suspension of all operations and from the IATA for its non-payment of debt, primarily fuel costs. [9] The airline's website is currently inactive, as reported by sources.[10]

The airline also served as a sponsor for Liga MX team Club America, from 2014 to 2020.
