US EditionUS orders Delta and Aeromexico to dissolve their partnership over fairness concerns in Mexico
- The U.S. Department of Transportation has mandated that Delta Air Lines and Aeromexico terminate their joint venture, which has been in place for nearly ten years, by January 1, 2026.
- This decision followed a long-running dispute over Mexico's market intervention and alleged anticompetitive actions favoring Aeromexico at Mexico City's airport.
- The joint venture enabled coordination of schedules and fares on routes connecting the United States and Mexico, covering approximately 60% of passenger travel from Mexico City to destinations in the U.S.
- The Transportation Department stated the breakup is needed to prevent ongoing anticompetitive effects that harm consumers and provide an unfair advantage to the two airlines.
- Delta and Aeromexico expressed disappointment, warning the breakup would harm U.S. jobs, communities, and risk canceling dozens of routes, while continuing some cooperation under their alliance.
