Delta is deeply disappointed by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s tentative decision to terminate its approval of Delta and Aeromexico’s procompetitive Joint Cooperation Agreement. This unprecedented, regulatory overreach by the DOT will cause significant harm to consumers traveling between the U.S and Mexico. Mexico is our country’s second largest trading partner and the Delta/Aeromexico Joint Cooperation Agreement, which is responsible for the launch of 15 routes between the U.S. and Mexico, has been critical to connecting communities and businesses in both countries, while generating substantial economic benefits for U.S. businesses. Delta will take all necessary steps to protect the millions of consumers that have benefitted from its strategic partnership to ensure the continued delivery of important benefits to consumers in the U.S.-Mexico market.
