Turkish Airlines reports 1.1 billion USD profit in Q3 2025

Turkish Airlines announces record third quarter 2025 profits of $1.1bn Turkish Airlines has announced a record profit of $1.1 billion for the third quarter of 2025, marking its 18th consecutive quarter of growth. Despite global trade disruptions, geopolitical tensions, and ongoing engine supply challenges, the airline achieved its highest-ever third-quarter passenger count of 27.2 million, an 8.2% increase from 2024 and 43% above pre-pandemic levels. Total revenues for the July–September period rose 4.9% year-over-year to around $7 billion, driven mainly by strong passenger demand. Passenger revenues increased 6.1%, although the airline noted softening yields and higher costs compared to last year.

the 58th session of the General Assembly of the (AACO) held in Rabat, hosted by RAM. Abdul Wahab Teffaha, Secretary General of the Arab Air Carriers Organization (AACO), announced that the air transport industry has fully recovered from the significant downturn it experienced between 2020 and 2022. He emphasized that Arab airlines are recording profit margins far exceeding the global average. However, he also warned of serious challenges threatening this recovery, most notably the supply chain crisis and the legislative chaos resulting from conflicting global and regional environmental standards. This came during Tuffaha's presentation of his report on the state of the air transport industry as part of the activities of the 58th session of the General Assembly of the Arab Air Carriers Organization held in Rabat, hosted by Royal Air Maroc. A remarkable Arab performance Tuffaha confirmed that the air transport industry has exceeded its activity levels for 2019, and is expected to record global growth of 5.8% in 2025 (measured in passenger-kilometers transported), with aircraft load factors rising to 83.9%. On the financial front, this recovery enabled the world’s airlines to achieve an operating profit margin of 6.4% in 2024, and is expected to reach 6.7% in 2025. In contrast, the performance of Arab airlines has been particularly noteworthy. While they are projected to grow by 4.3% in 2025, their profitability remains the most significant factor. Tuffaha stated, “This margin (for Arab companies) reached 12.2% in 2024 and is expected to reach 11.2% in 2025,” which is nearly double the global average. Fleets are “aging” Despite the positive figures, the Secretary General of the Arab Air Carriers Organization sounded the alarm about the immediate challenge facing companies, which is the “supply chain problem”. He pointed to a striking paradox: while the number of aircraft ordered by companies and registered with manufacturers increased from less than 7,000 in 2019 to 17,000 in 2024, the number of aircraft actually delivered decreased from 1,611 to 1,422 during the same period He continued, saying: “Consequently, the ratio of aircraft being retired versus new aircraft has decreased from 44.4% in 2019 to 40.6% in 2024. The situation is the same for Arab airlines, where the ratio of retiring aircraft versus introducing new aircraft has decreased from 14.9% in 2019 to 8% in 2024. This imbalance means that "the fleet of aircraft operated by airlines around the world is becoming obsolete," which directly leads to "higher maintenance costs and greater fuel consumption, and therefore a greater environmental impact." Tuffaha also spoke of what he called the “return of geopolitical obstacles,” saying they “have led to a slowdown in air freight traffic.” He added that “geopolitical tensions have exacerbated this pressure on air freight for airlines worldwide and Arab companies.”

✈️ Aircraft shortages are costing airlines billions, reads a recent Travel News article referencing the joint International Air Transport Association (IATA) –Oliver Wyman report “Reviving the Commercial Aircraft Supply Chain.” The study estimates losses of over US $11 billion this year as airlines operate older aircraft due to delivery delays — driving up fuel, maintenance, and leasing costs. With global backlogs exceeding 17,000 aircraft, the pressure on fleet renewal is real. For Africa, where growth potential is high but capacity is limited, the impact is even sharper. #Aviation #Airlines #FleetManagement #SupplyChain #Africa
