US Order to Dissolve Delta, Aeromexico Pact Paused by Court

A US appeals court temporarily halted an order from the Trump administration directing Delta Air Lines Inc. and Aeromexico to dissolve their transborder joint venture.

A three-judge panel at the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta agreed on Wednesday to pause the order while the carriers’ request for a review of the directive is pending. The partnership between the airlines allows them to coordinate pricing, marketing and loyalty programs.
