Emirates annual profit climbs despite regional conflict
Emirates Airline Group announced a 3 percent increase in annual profits to $5.7 billion despite major disruptions caused by the war, which grounded flights and repeatedly targeted Dubai airport, News.Az reports, citing Al Jazeera.
The state-owned group, which includes Emirates, the world’s largest long-haul carrier, reported record pre-tax profits of $6.6 billion and record cash assets totaling $16.2 billion.
The company said March, the final month of the financial year, was “disruptive and challenging.”

“For the first 11 months of 2025-26 the picture across the Group was very positive,” Chairman and CEO Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum said in a statement.
“Although we are still operating at a lower passenger capacity than pre-disruption, cargo operations have ramped up to support the movement of essential goods into and through the UAE,” he added.
