Appeals Court Reverses DOT Order Blocking Delta-Aeromexico Joint Venture
A federal appeals court has struck down a Department of Transportation mandate that aimed to dissolve the longstanding partnership between Delta Air Lines and Aeromexico. The two carriers launched legal action immediately after the agency attempted to terminate their decade-old transborder alliance. This legal victory ensures continued route cooperation between the airlines, which matters to pilots because joint ventures directly influence fleet planning, international crew bases, and long-term hiring projections at major legacy carriers.
