The U.S. Department of Transportation has decided to terminate the joint venture agreement between Delta Air Lines and Aeroméxico, citing Mexico’s non-compliance with the 2015 Air Transport Agreement as the primary reason.
According to the Department, Mexico’s actions since 2022—including the withdrawal of airport slots and forcing cargo carriers to relocate—have caused millions of dollars in additional costs for American companies.
As a result of this decision, the two airlines must cease all anti-competitive activities, such as joint pricing and revenue sharing, by January 1, 2026.
Delta Air Lines has expressed its disappointment with the decision, stating that it will lead to significant harm for U.S. jobs and consumers. The airline has announced that it will review the decision and that flights will continue as scheduled for its customers.
