Emirates Group has reported a 3pc rise in annual profits to $5.7 billion to end March. The group achieved record pre-tax profits of $6.6 billion and cash assets of $16.2 billion despite operational challenges in the Middle East. Passenger numbers fell 1 pc to 53.2 million over the financial year.
The airline operated at reduced capacity after military activity affected the Gulf region from 28 February. Flights resumed on 2 March using safe corridors and reached 58 pc of passenger capacity to 122 destinations by month end. Cargo operations increased to move essential goods.
Emirates paid a $1 billion dividend to its owner. The group maintained fuel hedging until 2028-2029 and worked with suppliers on volume security. Dubai Airports recorded lower passenger traffic in March.
Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum shared “For the first 11 months of 2025-26, the picture across the group was very positive.”
