Interjet Orders 40 Airbus A320neos

Mexican airline Interjet has placed an order for 40 Airbus A320neos in its latest move to boost operations in a market led by Aeromexico.

The airline has signed a contract to purchase 40 Airbus A320s, its new model.
Interjet, which launched operations in 2005 amid a surge of low-cost airlines in Mexico, operates 34 A320s.

The new order comes on the heels of Aeromexico's firm order for 60 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft announced last week as part of a plan to overhaul its fleet and use more fuel-efficient planes.
Aeromexico and Interjet got more room to grow after the 2010 downfall of the rival Mexicana.
