Grupo Aeromexico SAB is considering an order of Bombardier Inc. C Series jets, taking aircraft that would be available next year if U.S. tariffs thwart deliveries to Delta Air Lines Inc., people familiar with the matter said.
Mexico’s largest carrier is also considering short-range planes from Brazil’s Embraer SA and Japan’s Mitsubishi Aircraft Corp. instead, said the people, who asked not to be named because the talks are private. There’s no guarantee the discussions will lead to an aircraft order.
