Delta Could Follow Aeromexico With Basic Business Class
A new hint has emerged that how Delta Air Lines may be preparing to introduce a basic business class option. The clue comes from Aeromexico, in which Delta owns a significant stake, recently rolling out its own version of basic business class.
The airline revealed during a Q4 earnings call last week that it will soon begin offering tiered fares for both Business and First class, becoming the first U.S.-based airline to do so.

While details are still scarce, Aeromexico’s move suggests Delta could follow suit, providing travelers with a more flexible and potentially lower-cost business class product. This aligns with a broader trend in the airline industry where carriers are experimenting with tiered business class offerings to attract price-conscious corporate travelers.
