The 5 Most Profitable Airlines In The World

What are the world’s most profitable airlines? The answer to that is complicated by a range of factors. Profits can vary significantly from year to year and can be sensitive to currency movements. It also depends on what one counts as an airline. For example, does one count British Airways, or International Airlines Group (IAG), of which British Airways is a part? Additionally, some airlines may have a higher total profit, while smaller airlines may have a much larger profit margin adjusted for their revenue. This article will include groups (like IAG) and will list airlines based on the group’s reported profit in 2024/2025. Note that different airlines have different financial years.
