WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Aeromexico on Friday asked the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to halt a Trump administration order forcing it to unwind a joint venture with Delta Air Lines by January 1 that lets the carriers coordinate scheduling, pricing and capacity decisions for U.S.–Mexico flights.
Aeromexico said it would face substantial costs to unwind the joint venture that it could not recover even if a court later upheld the arrangement. The U.S. Transportation Department in September ordered an end to the nearly nine-year-old joint venture as part of a number of actions aimed at Mexican aviation, citing competition concerns.
