Growth in European traffic served as the primary engine for the airline’s performance, offsetting declines observed in domestic and North Atlantic sectors. The carrier continues to navigate a complex operational landscape, with flights to the Middle East remaining suspended since February 28 due to regional instability.

Beyond passenger counts, the airline saw a 2% year-on-year increase in total cargo weight, bolstered by significant demand within European markets. These gains occurred against a backdrop of reduced overall capacity, which fell by 4.8% compared to the previous year, while total traffic measured by revenue passenger kilometers decreased by 3.1%.
