Court preserves Delta-Aeromexico alliance after DOT bid to end it

A U.S. appeals court (Eleventh Circuit) dismissed the DOT’s termination order and allowed Delta Air Lines’ and Aeromexico’s joint venture to continue, saying the DOT’s analysis focused on the Mexico City market rather than the broader U.S.–Mexico market. The ruling preserves the immunized partnership, including coordinated scheduling and reciprocal loyalty benefits, which covers the U.S.–Mexico corridor and supports expanded connectivity.
