Airlines To Post $41B Net Profit In 2026, Says IATA
Dhaka: Global airlines are expected to post record profits in 2026 despite supply-chain disruptions that are slowing aircraft deliveries and delaying the rollout of more fuel-efficient jets, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) said on Tuesday (Dec 9).
The outlook comes after Airbus cut its 2025 delivery target, citing a quality issue involving metal fuselage panels on some A320 aircraft.
The world's leading jetmakers Airbus and Boeing have both faced delivery delays to their airline clients in recent years.
Without newer, more efficient planes, airlines say they cannot cut back fuel costs while flying more people.
Still, IATA struck an optimistic note for the year to come.
"Airlines have successfully built shock-absorbing resilience into their businesses that is delivering stable profitability," said International Air Transport Association director general Willie Walsh in a statement.
