US Regulators Move to Block Delta-Aeromexico Alliance, Citing Treaty Violations
The U.S. Department of Transportation has tentatively decided not to renew the anti-trust immunity for the joint venture between Delta Air Lines and Aeromexico. This move is a response to actions by the Mexican government at Mexico City International Airport, which the U.S. agency considers a breach of the bilateral air transport agreement. The termination of the partnership, scheduled for late October, threatens to reduce flight options and potentially increase fares between the two countries. Industry observers have criticized the decision as a counterproductive measure that could harm U.S. airline interests and consumer choice in the critical transborder market.
