The Eleventh Circuit ruling removes a major overhang that had been weighing on AERO since the DOT's initial termination order. With the JV and ATI preserved, Aeromexico can continue to benefit from Delta's network and distribution strength on the U.S.-Mexico market. Monitor for any further appeal by the DOT or third parties, but the immediate read-through is strongly positive. The stock should re-rate higher as the risk of losing the JV is now off the table.

Executive Summary
Grupo Aeromexico announced that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit ruled in its favor and vacated the DOT's order terminating the Aeromexico-Delta joint venture and antitrust immunity. The JV and ATI remain in effect, preserving the strategic partnership that provides enhanced connectivity between Mexico and the U.S. This is a material positive resolution of a key regulatory overhang that had been pending appeal since the prior 20-F filing.
Key Facts
- U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit ruled in favor of Aeromexico and Delta Air Lines
- Court vacated the U.S. Department of Transportation's order terminating approval of the Aeromexico-Delta joint venture and its antitrust immunity
- Joint venture and antitrust immunity remain in effect
- Aeromexico is reviewing the court's opinion and potential next steps with Delta and legal advisors
Financial Impact
Preservation of the Delta JV and ATI removes a material regulatory risk that threatened a key strategic partnership. The JV enables coordinated scheduling, revenue sharing, and network optimization on the critical Mexico-U.S. transborder market, which is Aeromexico's most important international route region.
Risk Factors
- Potential further appeal by the DOT or other parties could reintroduce uncertainty
- Aeromexico is still reviewing the opinion and may identify conditions or limitations in the ruling
- The broader operational and financial headwinds noted in the 20-F (domestic demand softness, peso depreciation, fuel costs, engine issues) remain unchanged
