The regional jet came within less than 200 feet of the Atlanta-bound Delta flight, CNN reported.
The Delta pilots quickly aborted takeoff and returned to the terminal in the wake of the near collision.
“Delta will fully cooperate with authorities as the circumstances around this flight are investigated,” the airline said in a statement.
“We appreciate the flight crew’s actions to maintain situational awareness and act quickly – part of Delta’s extensive training.”
AeroMéxico and the Mexican civil aviation authority haven’t yet commented on the ordeal.
The Delta flight, which was carrying 150 passengers and crew, ended up taking off again several hours later.
