interCaribbean Airways

Interjet's safety record during its operational period was characterized by a series of minor incidents rather than major fatal accidents. In 2007, the airline received recognition as a safe airline by IATA.

The airline did experience several air safety incidents, according to AeroInside. These included a tail strike during landing in Mexico City in February 2020, a dual pack failure near Mexico City in August 2019, a fuel emergency in Mexico City in April 2019, and bird strikes in Tuxtla Gutierrez (February 2018) and Merida (June 2017). In a notable incident not directly related to flight operations but to airline security concerns, Interjet suspended two employees in September 2019 after a pilot allegedly posted a social media comment suggesting a bomb attack in Mexico City's main square.

Regarding regulatory certifications, Interjet's Air Operator Certificate (AOC) number was 23IF051B, and its details were listed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). While direct information on current IOSA certification or EU safety list status at the time of its cessation is not readily available in the search results, its early IATA recognition indicates adherence to certain safety standards.

The airline's fleet, which included Airbus A320s and Sukhoi Superjet 100s, had an average age of 6.7 years in 2018, with the airline actively renewing its aircraft. However, as Interjet's financial crisis deepened, the maintenance and operational status of its fleet suffered. By early 2020, some Sukhoi Superjet 100s were reportedly being cannibalized for parts, and leasing companies repossessed its Airbus fleet as financial troubles escalated. The remaining Sukhoi fleet eventually remained grounded at Toluca International Airport. Any potential resumption of operations would have required a thorough verification of its fleet's optimal condition and personnel training.

Based on available data, Interjet did not experience any fatal accidents during its operational history. Its safety challenges were primarily operational incidents, rather than catastrophic failures. While the financial distress in its final years likely impacted its ability to maintain its fleet and operations at optimal levels, there is no indication of safety awards or recognitions beyond the 2007 IATA recognition.
