Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines and Aeromexico are facing a potential termination of their strategic partnership by the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Delta says this partnership has been vital since its approval in 2016, leading to increased service and consumer choice between the U.S. and Mexico.

Peter Carter, Delta’s Executive Vice President of External Affairs, spoke with “All Things Considered” about the implications of the pending decision.
