DOHA — Qatar Airways Group has reported a record net profit of US$1.94 billion (QAR 7.08 billion) for the 2025/26 financial year ending March 31, 2026. The airline achieved an all-time high operating profit of QAR 15.2 billion (approximately US$4.1 billion), underscoring its underlying operational resilience despite facing regional disruptions toward the end of its fiscal year. The financial performance solidifies Qatar Airways' standing as one of the most profitable aviation groups in the Middle East.

Operational volume across both passenger and freight divisions remained robust throughout the year. Qatar Airways transported 41.8 million passengers through its global hub at Hamad International Airport (DOH). Meanwhile, Qatar Airways Cargo handled over 1.43 million tonnes of chargeable weight, maintaining a 12% market share of the global air freight sector. Although temporary airspace closures in March forced a brief suspension of scheduled operations, the carrier quickly rebuilt its international network and restored global connectivity.

The record financial performance coincides with the airline's largest fleet renewal and expansion initiative to date. Qatar Airways has committed to an historic agreement with Boeing for up to 210 widebody jets, valued at approximately US$96 billion. Originally signed during a bilateral summit in Doha, the deal includes firm orders for 130 Boeing 787 Dreamliners and 30 Boeing 777-9s, along with options for an additional 50 aircraft. The incoming widebody fleet will support the airline's long-term route expansion and reinforce Doha's position as a premier global aviation hub.
