The federal government told Interjet workers on Monday that it won’t take control of the beleaguered airline as requested by the employees’ union last week.
An employee who spoke to the newspaper
Milenio said that he and his colleagues were informed of the decision at a meeting with officials at the Interior Ministry.
Section 15 of the Mexican Workers Confederation asked the government last Friday to requisition Interjet, saying that leaving the airline in the hands of its new owners poses a threat to national security, the economy and the public interest.
