Default U.S. prepares to downgrade Mexico air safety

https://reut.rs/3yy3u22

From the article:

“Delta Air Lines, which has a codeshare arrangement with Aeromexico, will have to issue new tickets for some passengers booked on Aeromexico flights as a result of the downgrade, sources said.

Delta and Aeromexico declined to comment.

Delta and Aeromexico, joint venture partners since 2017, are together offering about 3,900 transborder flights in June, more than any other carrier, according to global data aviation company Cirium. Delta owns 49% of Aeromexico but took a $770 million charge on its investment last year after the carrier’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.”

It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

Correction: Delta owns 51% of AM. 3900 trans border "Texas hub" flights, by far the most. 51% means no single entity or all other share holders combined can out vote Delta. The other 49% is publicly traded and will never be real opposition to Delta even though they only vote 49% of the shares. Delta has gained approval for purchasing 737maxs and 787s.

FWIW, last time this happened, it only lasted 4 months.

Perfect timing...we're so well staffed for the next four months, picking up any flying should be a piece of cake.

I’m sure DAL will figure out a workaround.

BTW no training required to ride shotgun!

To be fair, it looks mostly like an oversight issue, not a direct safety issue.

No new flights and "airline-to-airline marketing practices such as selling seats on each other's flights in code-share arrangements would be restricted."

'Wut mean? FAA, DAL, and Aeromexico declined to comment. Negotiations in progress, probably.

Be an interesting one to watch.
