Published Date: 7/28/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Transportation is thinking about pulling the green light and special legal protection for the partnership between Delta Air Lines and Aeromexico. This means their joint venture might lose some benefits that help them work together without antitrust worries. If this happens, both airlines will need to adjust their plans soon, which could shake up their business and travel deals.
