In a development linked to the ongoing trade dispute, the Trump administration is considering ending the 22-year partnership between Delta Air Lines and Aeromexico. This move is in response to Mexico's reluctance to comply with U.S. demands in the current trade conflict.
The situation arose after Mexico imposed restrictions on air traffic into Mexico City during President Biden's term. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has criticized these restrictions, which he attributes to decisions made by the former U.S. administration.
The Trump administration's argument centers around foreign carriers being redirected to Felipe Ángeles International Airport (NLU) instead of Benito Juarez International Airport (MEX), which is closer to Mexico City's center. They argue that this change violates existing trade agreements and gives domestic airlines an unfair advantage.
