Qatar Airways Group Announces Strongest Financial Results, Posts 28% Jump In Net Profit

Renewed 'Qatar Airways 2.0' strategy credited with driving record-breaking performance

Doha, Qatar: Qatar Airways Group has announced the strongest set of financial results in its history. Profits for the Group, which includes cargo, catering and Qatar Duty Free, reached QAR7.85bn (US$2.15bn) in the 24/25 fiscal year – an increase of more than QAR1.7bn (US$0.5bn) on the year before.

Qatar Airways Cargo, the world's leading cargo carrier, has delivered a remarkable financial performance, recording a 17% growth in revenue and achieving the best financial results since the COVID period. This is attributed to its agility in adapting to shifting market conditions, a focus on investing in digitalisation, deeper data-driven analyses, and its best-in-class reliability.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer, said:“These record-breaking results are a testament to the hard work, skill and dedication of teams across all of Qatar Airways Group. I know that none of the outstanding results we're announcing today would be possible without our people – more than 55,000 of them across the globe - and it's our focus on fostering that talent, which has been a core focus of our Qatar Airways 2.0 strategy.
