In August, Aeroméxico secured a USD200 million three-year syndicated loan from BBVA México, marking the carrier's return to the Mexican banking market. The group underwent a Chapter 11 reorganisation in 2020. However, it exited the process in early 2022. Later that year, the company delisted its shares from the Mexican Stock Exchange.
