Perth, May 20: Qatar Airways Group has reported a post-tax profit of QAR 7.08 billion, or US$1.94 billion, for the 2025/26 financial year.
The airline said the result reflected prudent growth and operational resilience, despite the final month of the financial year being affected by significant geopolitical events.
Qatar Airways carried more than 41.8 million passengers during the year, while its cargo division transported more than 1.43 million tonnes of chargeable freight.
The airline said its cargo business now holds a 12 per cent global market share, reinforcing its position as the world’s largest international air cargo carrier.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer Hamad Al-Khater said: “It is not often that a single financial year asks an organisation to demonstrate both the best of what it can achieve and the depth of what it can withstand. The 2025/26 financial year did both, and the Qatar Airways Group rose to each in turn.”
“These results speak to the strength of this Group across every measure that matters — a strong balance sheet, industry-leading operations, partnerships of real depth, and people who maintained the standards this Group is known for, even under the most demanding conditions.”
The group said it achieved an 86 per cent on-time performance during the year, placing it among the world’s top five most punctual carriers and earning the Cirium Platinum Award for Operational Excellence.
Other milestones included fleet agreements with Boeing and GE Aerospace covering up to 210 aircraft and 400 engines, as well as Qatar Airways being named World’s Best Airline 2025 by Skytrax for a record ninth time.
Hamad International Airport was also named Best Airport in the Middle East for the 11th consecutive year, while Qatar Duty Free won Best Airport Shopping globally for the third year in a row.
Qatar Airways said it continues to rebuild its global schedule and expects to reach more than 160 destinations by summer 2026.
