What Grupo Aeromexico told the SEC could break it.
Aeromexico's sharpest exposure is a fuel-supply chokepoint: jet fuel at its Mexico City (MEX) hub arrives through a single dedicated turbosine pipeline from PEMEX's Tula refinery, and because Mexico produces little jet fuel, roughly 60% of domestic consumption is imported — so a pipeline disruption or import reduction could curtail its fuel availability. Its network compounds that single-country exposure: all of its routes and scheduled flights originate and/or terminate at Mexican airports, making results highly sensitive to local economic conditions. And trade policy adds uncertainty on top — U.S.-Mexico tensions and tariffs (a June 2025 expansion including up to 50% on steel and aluminum, partly reversed by the Supreme Court in February 2026) create cost and demand swings.

In its own words
What could break it.
Sole-source dependency
- jet fuel — single turbosine pipeline to MEX; 60% importedhigh
Jet fuel at its MEX hub arrives via a single dedicated turbosine pipeline from PEMEX's Tula refinery, and Mexico imports ~60% of jet-fuel consumption — a disruption or import reduction could curtail fuel availability.
“Only one dedicated turbosine pipeline supplies jet fuel directly to the MEX airport, which comes from PEMEX's refinery located in Tula. Due to Mexico's low production of jet fuel, PEMEX has historically imported approximately 60% of the total domestic consumption.”
Geographic concentration
- all routes originate/terminate in Mexicomedium
All routes and scheduled flights have their origin and/or destination at Mexican airports, so results are highly sensitive to Mexican economic conditions.
“Because all of our routes and scheduled service flights have their origin, destination or both at airports located in Mexico, we are highly impacted by local economic conditions.”
Regulatory & policy
- US-Mexico tariffs & trade tensionsmedium
US-Mexico trade tensions and tariffs (June 2025 expansion incl. up to 50% on steel/aluminum; later partial SCOTUS reversal Feb 2026) create cost and demand uncertainty.
“For example, in June 2025, the U.S. administration reinstated and expanded tariffs on various imported goods from Mexico, including tariffs of up to 50% on steel and aluminum imports to the United States. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned certain U.S. tariffs, including tariffs that affected Mexico.”

Its suppliers
“For purchases outside of Mexico, we work closely with Delta to leverage volume discounts and better credit conditions and mitigate the impact of supply chain disruptions.”
