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.

Berkshire Expands Alphabet Stake, Bets on Delta and Homebuilders

Berkshire Hathaway more than doubled down on Alphabet, holding about 106 million Alphabet shares worth $37.9 billion at end-June after an 83% quarterly gain aided by a $10 billion private placement, making Alphabet Berkshire's third-largest U.S.-listed stake behind Apple and American Express. Berkshire also expanded its Delta position to 57.3 million shares (~$5.4 billion) and increased exposure to housing—Lennar rose to 13.1 million Class A and Berkshire took a small 3,600-share position in D.R. Horton—ending a long streak of net stock sales with roughly $20 billion in net purchases in Q2 as cash eased to $365.5 billion; the Taylor Morrison acquisition was completed.

United's Kirby Floated Delta Merger, But Delta Rejected the Plan

According to The Wall Street Journal, United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby spoke with Delta CEO Ed Bastian in 2025 about a potential United-Delta merger; the talks reportedly did not progress and Delta declined to pursue the deal, and Kirby later pitched a similar merger to American's CEO Robert Isom, which AA also rejected. The idea of a mega US carrier raised questions about competition and consumer prices, with Delta opposing consolidation and regulators wary of reduced competition.

Delta Edges United on Profitability Despite United’s Revenue Highs

United Airlines posted a record second-quarter revenue of $17.7 billion and lifted 2026 adjusted earnings guidance to $9–$11 per share, but a sharp fuel bill limited profit; Delta, on roughly the same revenue, delivered higher total adjusted pre-tax income and margins, meaning United outpaced Delta on earnings per share due to fewer shares outstanding while Delta showed stronger overall profitability.

Fuel dips, fares hold: Delta says cheaper flights aren’t coming soon

Jet-fuel costs have fallen sharply, but Delta says cheaper airfares aren’t on the horizon as demand remains strong and fares stay elevated. In its latest quarterly results, Delta offset higher fuel expenses with robust passenger revenue, and it now expects fuel costs to be about 20% lower in the current quarter as oil retreats, though airfares remain above pre-pandemic levels due to continued strong demand and premium travel.

Delta Rolls Out Basic Business: A Cheaper, Unbundled Premium Seat

Delta expands its unbundled premium strategy by introducing Basic Business across its premium cabins, offering the full Delta One experience at a lower price but with major perks removed—miles, one checked bag, seat pre-selection, free changes, upgrades, and lounge access. Basic Business is about 7% cheaper than standard premium and roughly 21% cheaper than Delta One; Basic First is already available on some routes, while Basic Premium Select and Basic Business bookings roll out on domestic and select long-haul flights starting in September, with enhanced check-in and lounge access retained through Jan 18, 2027. Industry analysts caution this as nickel‑and‑diming, though it could benefit cost-conscious travelers and some corporate customers.
