Six-year-old, low-fare Interjet now claims to be the leading domestic carrier in Mexico, with a quarter share of the market. Aeroméxico Connect has only 20 percent. However, Aeroméxico with Connect, its subsidiary, has a 40 percent share. Interjet benefitted from the financial troubles that grounded both Mexicana and Aviacsa nearly two years ago. Interjet took over temporarily abandoned routes plus space at Mexico City International, increasing its ticket sales by 56 percent. Legally, there remains the possibility that both grounded airlines someday will fly again.
