By Dickson Omobola International Air Transport Association, IATA, has forecast that airline profitability will halve in 2026 compared to 2025, fingering war-related disruptions in the Middle East and rising fuel costs as major factors.

Global airlines face a profit plunge in 2026, nearly halving earnings to $23 billion due to soaring fuel costs and Middle East conflict disruptions. Despite strong passenger demand and projected record revenues exceeding $1.1 trillion, profitability per passenger is expected to drop significantly. This geopolitical instability and rising operational expenses are reshaping the industry's financial outlook.
UK lagging behind rivals on tourism growth because of travel costs and lack of joined-up planning, says CEO Sean Doyle The cost of travel to and around the UK is keeping millions of tourists away and slowing economic growth, the boss of British Airways said, as he urged a rethink of aviation taxes.

RIO DE JANEIRO - Global airline chiefs open their annual summit in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday facing a sharper test of the industry's post-pandemic recovery, as the Iran war drives up fuel costs and disrupts airspace while carriers try to cushion the blow with higher fares and tighter capacity.
Soaring jet fuel prices driven by conflict in the Middle East are likely to push more airlines into bankruptcy and spur more sector consolidation this year and next, the head of the global airline body said on Saturday. Global airlines are grappling with higher fuel costs driven by the U.S. and Israel's war with Iran, which has choked jet fuel supplies and disrupted key air corridors, forcing costly detours.Also read: Airbus delays XLR deliveries to IndiGo as war hits suppliers Budget carriers have been among the hardest hit, lacking higher margin revenue streams such as premium cabins, high-paying travelers and credit card loyalty programs. The strain is already showing: U.S. budget airline Spirit Airlines collapsed last month, and it will not be the last, said Willie Walsh, director general of the International Air Transport Association, the industry's main trade body. "Unfortunately I think there will be some carriers that will find this high fuel price very difficult to cope with," Walsh told Reuters at IATA's annual summit in Rio de Janeiro, adding he expects some airlines to go out of business and others to be acquired by larger carriers. Even so, the pressure does not spell the end of the low-cost airline model, which continues to thrive outside the United States, where the big three carriers, United Airlines, Delta Air Lines and American Airlines, are squeezing out budget competitors, Walsh said. "I don't see that the low-cost model is broken, in fact, quite the opposite," he said, highlighting Ryanair's strong performance in Europe as an example. There is one blockbuster deal Walsh does not see happening: United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby's audacious proposal to buy arch rival American Airlines and create a U.S. aviation behemoth. The idea, which surfaced earlier this year, failed to get done despite Kirby raising it with President Donald Trump. "I don't think that's going to happen. I think the regulatory hurdles would be very significant. I don't know whether that was a genuine effort to pursue consolidation or Scott just trying to stir up some media," Walsh said. MIDDLE EAST AIRLINE WOES The Iran conflict has upended traffic flows through Middle Eastern hubs such as Dubai, Doha and Abu Dhabi, creating acute challenges for Gulf carriers including Emirates, Qatar Airways and Etihad. Walsh said he didn't think the conflict would do permanent damage to the Gulf as an aviation hub given its strategic geographic importance and the value of the popular Gulf carriers, which account for 14% of global capacity. "That capacity cannot be replaced by airlines from other regions around the world," Walsh said. "Once things settle down, I would expect the Gulf carriers to regain their important position in the market." Adding to the strain is the slow pace of aircraft deliveries from Boeing and Airbus, along with engine delays from GE Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney, a unit of RTX, limiting airlines' ability to expand fleets and improve efficiency.Also read: Airline chiefs grapple with fuel shock, fare test at Rio summit Walsh said the industry is increasingly frustrated by the delays, particularly as engine makers post strong profits while airlines struggle. He estimates supply chain disruption cost airlines about $11 billion last year. "We're disappointed that they're not moving faster. We're disappointed that they're not sharing the pain that the airline industry is sharing," he said. Aircraft and engine makers have said that much of the delays are out of their control, stemming from post-pandemic supply chain disruptions and political trade disputes. As airlines come under financial strain and climate policies lose momentum in the U.S. under Donald Trump, industry leaders have grown more cautious about meeting a 2050 net zero emissions target. Walsh said IATA is not ready to abandon the goal. "I certainly believe it's more challenging to achieve net zero in 2050 because we've not made the progress that we had expected to see on the development of sustainable fuels," he said.

Airlines are also expected to protect margins by cutting unprofitable routes, while fares, which have surged since the outbreak of the Iran war, are unlikely to come down soon, Walsh said.
Breeze Airrways Chief Executive David Neeleman, who has worked in the airline industry through some of its most turbulent periods, including the Sep 11, 2001, attacks in the US and the pandemic, had a cautiously optimistic tone when asked about the state of the aviation business.
Avião da Azul no aeroporto de Fernando de Noronha (PE) Ana Clara Marinho/g1 A companhia aérea brasileira Azul está intensificando "cortes de capacidade" em meio a preços mais altos do combustível de aviação, ligados à guerra no Irã, e a empresa continuará reduzindo voos para proteger o caixa em um ambiente incerto, disse o presidente-executivo, John Rodgerson. Rodgerson disse à Reuters que as maiores empresas do setor vêm reduzindo capacidade para se alinhar melhor à demanda diante de níveis de custo mais altos, e a Azul seguirá o exemplo, indo além dos cortes anteriores à medida que o conflito se prolonga. 🗒️Tem alguma sugestão de reportagem? Envie para o g1 "Quando fizemos nossos cortes iniciais, pensamos que a guerra já teria terminado", disse o executivo em uma entrevista na sexta-feira, em preparação para uma reunião de líderes de companhias aéreas globais no Rio de Janeiro. "Mas ela [a guerra no Irã] continua, então vamos continuar a cortar algumas frequências de forma oportunista, certificando-nos de que estamos voando apenas coisas que fazem sentido", diz Rodgerson. Agora no g1 A maior parte das reduções da Azul no segundo trimestre ocorreu em rotas internacionais, com ajustes adicionais concentrados em frequências domésticas, em vez de retirar cidades inteiras, disse Rodgerson. "Você voa para Curitiba seis vezes por dia? Talvez, com esses preços de combustível, devessem ser quatro." A companhia aérea está priorizando seus principais hubs em Campinas, Belo Horizonte e Recife, acrescentou. "Ainda não retiramos cidades, mas isso está sempre em pauta. Mas primeiro você começa com a utilização e o corte de frequências. Você não quer estar utilizando uma aeronave 13, 14 horas por dia quando os preços dos combustíveis dobram." O CEO da Azul, John Rodgerson, fala sobre prováveis cortes de voos e destinos REUTERS/Pilar Olivares Rodgerson disse que o balanço patrimonial da Azul, após uma grande reestruturação da dívida, colocou a empresa em uma posição mais forte do que alguns de seus pares para se adaptar. A companhia saiu do processo do Capítulo 11 em fevereiro com apoio da United Airlines e da American Airlines. A Azul espera que os preços permaneçam sob pressão no segundo trimestre, sazonalmente mais fraco, mas vê espaço para que tarifas mais altas se sustentem à medida que a demanda se fortaleça no terceiro e quarto trimestres, disse ele.
