abstract
The aviation industry plays an important role in global economic development by offering efficient global connectivity, through a safe and fast service, which facilitates trade and tourism. However, it also faces high operating costs that have bankrupted many airlines throughout history. This situation led the industry to generate strategic alliances that have contributed to the permanence of airlines in the face of market threats. Such is the case of Aero México, who faces the suspension of 6 aircraft of the Boeing 737 MAX 8 model, product of recent plane crashes where 2 of them crashed. The negotiation power granted by the decrease in transaction costs derived from being part of the Skyteam strategic alliance benefits Aero México in the face of this adversity.
