Emirates Group announced a 3 percent rise in annual profits to $5.7bn despite severe disruptions from the war with flights grounded and Dubai airport repeatedly targeted.
The state-owned entity that includes Emirates, the world’s biggest long-haul carrier, reported record pre-tax profits of $6.6bn and record cash assets of $16.2bn.
March, the last month of the financial year, was “disruptive and challenging”, it said.
“For the first 11 months of 2025-26 the picture across the Group was very positive,” Chairman and CEO Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum said in a statement.
“Although we are still operating at a lower passenger capacity than pre-disruption, cargo operations have ramped up to support the movement of essential goods into and through the UAE,” he added.
