However, by 2018, the airline had moved to a hybrid model, with low ticket prices and high cost "extras" such as extra legroom, free legroom, but a more generous luggage policy associated with traditional carriers. On March 2, 2015, Interjet confirmed ten SSJ100 options valued at $350 million. In mid-January 2018, Bloomberg reported that four out of 22 of Interjet's SSJ100s were cannibalized for parts to keep others running, after having been grounded for at least five months because of SaM146 maintenance delays. This was later refuted by Interjet; a Russian magazine reported that one grounded SSJ100 was going to be back in service by January 19, and the remaining three by March. In September 2018, Interjet was reported to be considering replacing its SSJ100s with Airbus A320neos, to make better use of its slots, with the SSJ technical problems a possible factor. This would have left CityJet as the only remaining Western customer. On September 12, Interjet denied the report. Interjet claimed its capital cost for ten Superjets is equivalent to the pre-delivery payment for one Airbus A320. The pre-delivery payment amounts to 15-30 percent of an aircraft list price.

The airline has suspended all international operations following the pandemic. The shaky financial situation continued through 2020, with Interjet having to cancel all flights for the 1st and 2 November after failing to pay for fuel. Even before the pandemic, the airline had been in financial trouble since 2013, citing unpaid taxes. The airline temporarily reduced the salaries of its workers by 50% to further cut debt. From November 30 to December 3, the airline again cancelled flights as it had still failed to pay for fuel despite its commitment to provide reimbursement by December 8, 2020. The airline didn't
