The U.S. Department of Transportation has ordered Delta Air Lines and Aeromexico to end their joint venture by january 1, 2026.The partnership, initially approved in 2016 with antitrust immunity<\/a> under the Obama governance, allowed the airlines to coordinate pricing, sales, network planning, and frequent flyer programs<\/a>. However,Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy,under the Trump administration,cited Mexico’s failure to comply with the 2015 U.S.-Mexico Air Transport Agreement, which gave the joint venture an unfair advantage over U.S. carriers. The Department aims to restore fair competition by requiring the dissolution of the joint venture’s cooperation in pricing, capacity management, and revenue sharing. Both Delta and Aeromexico expressed disappointment with the decision but noted that some cooperative aspects, such as frequent flyer programs and Delta’s equity stake in Aeromexico, will remain unaffected.The directive reflects the administration’s broader “America First” agenda to ensure fairness in international airline competition.
