The US Department of Transport on Saturday threatened to solve the joint venture of Delta Air Lines with Aeromexico and restrict Mexican flights in response to the Mexican government’s alleged anti -competitive behaviors, including the mandatory displacement of carriers in 2023 to a secondary airport.
European countries also considered that if US airlines are restricted from their airport, similar actions could be taken against them, in a way that disrupts the competitive balance that is created under air transport agreements, trying to restrict noise level in city centers.
The Mexican government has disrupted US airlines’ operational rights under the US -Mexico 2015 agreement, the Ministry of Transport said.
The Transportation Airlines was forced to change about 31 miles away to Felipe Angeles International Airport. The displacement, which includes airlines from all countries, not just the United States, operational costs and complexities for freight operators, especially hybrid carriers that continue to transport transport aircraft at the Mexico City International Airport (MEX) and now have dual facilities and delivery systems for management. Flip Angeles also was not fully developed and was not ready for efficient management of freight aircraft and promoted airlines to invest in more equipment and facilities.
Restrictions on the ruling that the full -fledged ship’s operation was disrupted by the market, according to the Ministry of Transport, spending millions of dollars and showing “obvious disregard” from the Airlines Agreement.
“Joe Biden and Pete Battery deliberately allowed Mexico to break our two -way air transport agreement,” said Sean Duffy, the Transport Secretary. “This ends today. Let these measures use as a warning for any country that thinks it can use the United States, our carriers and our market. America means war for the basic principle of fairness.”
The seizures were influenced by US airlines, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines as well as Mexican carriers. The Mexican Airlines with the confiscated slot has been able to return to the United States.
Dot said in an executive statement that Mexico has not yet provided any analysis that the MEX was not saturated, confident that US companies can recover their slots after completing the construction and that any construction project has begun.
The department has begun a trilateral initiative to pressure Mexico to change its policy.
Dot said it needs Mexican airlines to submit programs for all US operations by July 29 to investigate whether it violates or affects public interest. The files should include the type of aircraft used, the flight frequency, the source airports and the evacuation and the arrival/departure time.
The second order prohibits Mexican aircraft from working large aircraft for passenger or freight flights to the United States or from the United States without confirmation of the previous point. According to Dot, the restrictions of the Charter are the response that the US freight airline is preventing aircraft from moving in Mexico on non -income flights or performing multiple stops in Mexico to remove or abandon international traffic without carrying domestic cargo, as permissible under the transportation agreement.
Dot also suggested that Delta and Aeromexico’s joint venture confirmation for joint venture. The US government has extended the approval beyond the 2020 deadline to allow further investigation, but the Trump administration now says there is no other safety conditions and that joint venture is no longer in the public interest.
The final order of termination of joint venture confirmation will not be effective until October 25.
If the anti -monopoly safety is revoked, Delta and Amromicozio need to cut off pricing, capacity management and income division. However, they are allowed to continue their cooperation through weapons activities such as encryption, marketing and frequent flight cooperation. Delta will also be able to retain its equity shares in Aeromexico and keep all flights in the US and Mexico market without pressure.
The ministry has also said that if the country fails to take corrective measures, it reserves the right to confirm flight requests from Mexico.
