Atlantic Aviation Group shared in a written statement “the medium-term outlook for the group remains extremely bright with further anticipated growth in 2025 and 2026 through several strategic growth initiatives across both the group’s civil and defence business segments”. Directors shared “the addition of several new multi-year nose-to-tail contracts with blue chip multinational airlines resulted in a substantial improvement to overall group performance and profitability in 2024”. 

Whilst the civil segment of the business experienced significant year-on-year growth in both revenue and profitability the group’s defence business was adversely impacted by the cessation of a number of non-recurring revenue streams but remained profitable in 2024 and continues to trade profitably in 2025”.
