QR profit shrinks slightly amid conflict

Qatar Airways Group today announced a post-tax profit of QAR7,08bn (R32bn) for the financial year 2025/26. This is a slight decrease from the QAR7,85bn (R35,5bn) reported the previous year.

The airline said its results demonstrated a strong performance against a final month impacted by significant geopolitical events.

The airline carried more than 41,8 million passengers over the period.

“These results speak to the strength of the 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,” said Qatar Airways Group CEO, Hamad Al-Khater.

During the financial year, the group signed agreements with Boeing and GE Aerospace for the acquisition and servicing of up to 210 aircraft and 400 engines. Looking ahead, the airline is expected to reach more than 160 destinations by summer 2026.
