MEXICO CITY, Aug. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Grupo Aeroméxico, S.A.B. de C.V. (“Aeroméxico”) (NYSE: AERO; BMV: AERO) announced that today the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit ruled in favor of Aeromexico and Delta Air Lines, Inc. and vacated the U.S. Department of Transportation’s order terminating approval of the Aeromexico-Delta joint venture and its antitrust immunity.
