Delta and Aeromexico tails

Any hopes Delta Air Lines and Aeromexico had that the US DoT softened its position relative to their Joint Venture renewal in the 18 months since initially calling for it to die were dashed this morning.

Delta and Aeromexico tails

Lots of different groups are chiming in on the US DoT’s plan to not renew antitrust immunity for Delta Air Lines and Aeromexico. Perhaps most surprising among them, however, is the Mexican government.

Delta Air Lines and Aeromexico will not be permitted to renew their cross-border joint operations. And it is all about access at MEX.

Since December 2021 Allegiant and VivaAerobus have been pursuing antitrust immunity from the US Department of Transportation to operate a transborder joint venture between the US and Mexico. Today that application took a somewhat unexpected turn, with the DOT suspending the procedural review, owing to factors well outside the control of either airline.

Mexico’s President want to see more competition in the domestic air travel market. López Obrador proposes to allow foreign airlines to operate within the country – service known as cabotage – competing against the local incumbents. But will any show up??

Why does JetBlue care what happens to its slots in Mexico City as it pulls out of that market next month? Turns out competition among airlines is a good thing, and the carrier just might have its eye on another prize some 5,500 miles away.

Airport Status: Canceled – Pulling the plug in Mexico City

The new Mexico City airport is dead. Fulfilling a campaign promise, incoming President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador announced that construction on the project would be halted once he takes office. The move came after the results of a national referendum on the project showed 70% of voters opposed to the new airport. That only one million people voted (of ~90mm registered) in the theoretically non-binding poll seems to not matter. The president intends to scrap the efforts.
