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.

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.

Allegiant, Viva Aerobus plan groundbreaking joint venture

A theoretical take on the combined Allegiant/Viva Aerobus JV route map five years down the line

Allegiant sees significant potential carrying leisure travelers to Mexican resort destinations, but the cost – both real and relative to domestic expansion – is too high. Viva Aerobus wants to expand deeper into the US leisure segment, but its prior attempts mostly failed. Together, however, the two believe they can become a strong player in the transborder market, commanding a double digit share.
