ABC Aerolíneas, S.A. de C.V., operating as Interjet, is a Mexican airline with its headquarters in Lomas de Chapultepec, Miguel Hidalgo, Mexico City, Mexico. The airline operates scheduled flights to Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, North America and South America out of Mexico City International Airport in Mexico City. It is wholly owned by the Aleman Group. It is one of the first regular low-cost airlines of Mexico and claims to offer the most extensive domestic network compared to its competitors.
The airline described itself as the "JetBlue of Mexico".
Interjet also operates several charter flights throughout the American continent, mainly in the Caribbean.
