Appeals Court Keeps Delta-Aeromexico Codeshare Intact, Steadying Mexico Capacity

The 11th Circuit has vacated the Department of Transportation's order requiring Delta and Aeromexico to dissolve their joint venture, reversing a decision that had threatened to shrink seat capacity and disrupt joint fares on US-Mexico routes. Those routes carry the bulk of destination-wedding and honeymoon traffic into Cancun, Riviera Maya, Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta — the gateway markets for Karisma's El Dorado and Azul properties, Palace Resorts' Le Blanc and Moon Palace, Excellence Group, Riu, Bahia Principe and the Hyatt Inclusive Collection's Secrets, Dreams, Zoetry, Breathless, Zilara and Ziva brands. Had the unwind proceeded, advisors could have faced reduced flight options and fare volatility on group air blocks for wedding parties booking ahead. With the joint venture reinstated, expect continued schedule stability and consistent codeshare pricing into Mexico's all-inclusive corridors — one fewer variable to flag for couples locking in 2026-2027 wedding travel.
