IT IS NOT TRUE THAT INTERJET IS IN TECHNICAL BANKRUPTCY

  • The handling of the information published by Bloomberg is irresponsible.
  • The news agency made a misinterpretation of the judicial review filed by Interjet in its legal dispute with the Internal Revenue Service of Mexico.

Mexico City, August 30, 2019.- Interjet categorically denies that it is bankrupt as published by the Bloomberg news site. The news agency made a misinterpretation of the constitutional claim filed by the airline in the dispute that it holds with the Internal Revenue Service of Mexico (SAT).

Bloomberg had access to a file that by law is not supposed to be public. In a judicial dispute, the only persons entitled to consult the records are those authorized by the parties involved in the trial.

At no time, the company has recognized the existence of a technical bankruptcy as this media outlet states.

It should be noted that bankruptcy can only be declared by court order, and cannot be self-imposed by the debtor or any other entity. It’s a legal process through which the insolvency of a company has to be proved. This is not the case of the current situation of Interjet because the company continues paying its debts.

Bankruptcy cannot be declared by a company or by an individual, and this determination corresponds to a court.

Interjet reserves its right to pursue any available legal actions against Bloomberg.
