6. Interjet is the largest player in the domestic market in Mexico. The airline aspires to become the largest Mexican carrier in the international market as well. Interjet bet on Superjet 100, as it offers the most spacious interior in its class, rivalling the level of passenger comfort aboard larger aircraft.

23. Fotografersha demonstrates what the seat pitch of 34” does look like. This kind of pitch was made possible by using a single-class layout (93 economy seats).
