## Strategy

Aeroméxico’s strategy is built around network connectivity, hub strength in Mexico City, and premium transborder service, especially on Mexico-U.S. routes. The company also relies on loyalty, alliance partnerships, and fleet composition to support demand, improve network utility, and deepen customer retention.

- **Protect and expand Mexico-U.S. connectivity** (medium-term) — Transborder traffic is strategically important for volumes, pricing, and network relevance.
- **Maximize hub-and-spoke efficiency from Mexico City** (medium-term) — A strong hub improves connection options and aircraft utilization across the network.
- **Deepen loyalty and repeat-customer engagement** (short-term) — Frequent flyers and loyalty members support repeat bookings and ancillary revenue.
- **Use alliances to extend reach** (medium-term) — Partnerships increase itinerary choices and make the airline more attractive to connecting passengers.

- Strengthen Mexico City hub connectivity
- Use the Delta joint venture for Mexico-U.S. traffic
- Support loyalty engagement and repeat travel
- Maintain a fleet suited to long-haul and regional routes
- Leverage SkyTeam to broaden global network access

## Risks

Aeroméxico is exposed to fuel, labor, aircraft, currency and demand volatility inherent in scheduled aviation, along with operational disruptions at airports and on key routes. The business also depends on regulatory approvals and cross-border arrangements, which can materially affect network access and competitive positioning.

- **Airport and operational disruptions** [high] — Flight schedules depend on airport and local operating conditions, which can suspend or delay service on affected stations.
- **Regulatory and antitrust risk on U.S.-Mexico partnership** [high] — The Delta joint venture depends on government and court decisions that can change access to coordinated service benefits.
- **Fuel cost volatility** [high] — Jet fuel is a major input in airline operations and can move quickly with market conditions.
- **Demand and traffic cyclicality** [medium] — Passenger volumes are tied to consumer spending, corporate travel and seasonality.
- **Foreign exchange exposure** [medium] — The company presents in USD but earns and spends across multiple currencies, creating translation and transaction effects.

- Fuel price volatility affects operating economics
- Airport disruptions can interrupt schedules and revenue
- Regulatory or antitrust changes can alter route access
- Demand weakens when travel spending or business travel slows
- Foreign exchange swings matter because reporting is in USD

## Accounting

Airline accounting is heavily affected by lease, maintenance, depreciation and revenue timing judgments, all of which can materially change reported results. Aeroméxico reports in U.S. dollars as its functional and presentation currency, and its large aircraft and lease-related asset base makes estimates around depreciation, lease obligations and related costs especially important.

- **Revenue recognition for air tickets** — impacts reported revenue timing and deferrals
- **Aircraft leases and lease accounting** — affects leverage, assets and operating expense presentation
- **Depreciation and amortization** — affects operating profit and asset valuation
- **USD presentation currency** — affects foreign exchange translation and comparability

- USD functional currency affects translation of local-currency activity
- Aircraft leases materially affect liabilities and operating costs
- Depreciation and amortization are large non-cash expense items
- Revenue timing varies with ticket sales and flown segments
- Maintenance and operational estimates can affect period results
