Qatar Airways Group has reported its highest-ever annual profit, posting QAR 7.85 billion (US$2.15 billion) for the 2024/25 financial year. This marks a year-on-year increase of more than QAR 1.7 billion (US$0.5 billion), a 28% growth from the previous fiscal period.

The results cover the Group’s various divisions, including passenger, cargo, catering, and duty free operations. Qatar Airways Cargo, in particular, recorded a 17% rise in revenue, its strongest performance since the COVID-19 pandemic, citing increased digitalisation and operational adaptability as key contributors.

CEO Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer attributed the success to the Group’s strategic restructuring under the “Qatar Airways 2.0” programme, as well as workforce initiatives and industry partnerships. The Group now employs over 55,000 staff globally.

Key Developments in FY 2024/25:

  • Profit growth of 28% year-on-year.

  • Expansion of Hamad International Airport to handle 65 million passengers annually.

  • Introduction of Starlink Wi-Fi on Boeing 777 aircraft, a first for a global and MENA-region carrier.

  • Acquisition of a 25% stake in both Virgin Australia and South African regional carrier Airlink.

  • Integration of AI into its digital cabin crew interface, “Sama.”

  • New technical agreements aligned with Qatar National Vision 2030.

Looking ahead, the airline has confirmed further investments in aircraft and engine orders to support its ongoing global operations.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
