We are here to clarify the news circulated in the press.
Due to the resistance of our aircraft lessors to an amicable agreement, we had to file a request for judicial recovery to protect you, our customers and passengers. As the first court decision, we have had the release of our fleet to comply with all scheduled flights at the airports where we operate.
That is, our operations WILL NOT BE AFFECTED.
You, our passengers, can have absolute peace of mind in making your reservations and purchasing your tickets, since all sales and flights are and will be kept.
We will continue here, serving all customers, flying to all destinations with the quality and excellence for which we are known and recognized.
