In the early 2000 era AeroMexico averaged 60 aircraft in their fleet and 20 in a defunct subsidiary. Mexicana was the dominent airline. 15 years later they have 74 aircraft and Mexicana is gone. If American and United went away in 2010 how many aircraft do you think Delta would have today? 14% international growth is 3 airframes for AeroMexico.
