Mexico's Interjet airline will begin restarting national and international routes in July, the company said on Sunday, as airlines across the world pin their hopes on recovering demand as some coronavirus pandemic restrictions on travel ease.

The budget airline also said in a statement that despite undergoing a “deep restructuring” it has been able to maintain its 6,000-strong workforce thanks in part to unspecified support for its workers’ union. It said in July it plans to restart routes to seven domestic destinations from its hub in Mexico City, including the second and third biggest cities, Guadalajara and Monterrey, respectively, as well as Cancun beach resort.
