Trump Orders Delta Airlines & Aeroméxico to Dissolve Joint Venture
Washington. The Trump administration announced late Monday that it is ordering Delta Air Lines and Aeroméxico to end a joint venture by January 1 that allows them to coordinate scheduling, pricing, and capacity decisions for flights between the United States and Mexico.
The U.S. Department of Transportation proposed the measure in July as part of a series of actions targeting Mexican aviation.
The Department said Monday that the action “is necessary due to the ongoing anticompetitive effects in the markets between the United States and Mexico City that provide an unfair advantage to Delta and Aeroméxico.”
The U.S. government is not requiring Delta to sell its 20 percent stake in Aeroméxico.
Meanwhile, Aeroméxico expressed in a statement that it “regrets” the decision of the neighboring country’s Department of Transportation, as it ignores “the benefits that the alliance has provided to connectivity, tourism, and consumers in Mexico.”
This measure, the airline assured, will not affect its customers and guaranteed that passengers will be able to continue using the connectivity service of both airlines.
