British Airways’ parent company International Airlines Group (IAG) said its operating profit increased by 17.3% last year to a record 5.0 billion euros (£4.4 billion).
That is up from 4.3 billion euros (£3.8 billion) in 2024.
The company attributed its “record financial performance” to “long-term demand growth in our core markets and constrained supply in a consolidating industry”.
IAG said its available seat kilometres – a measure of its capacity – grew by 2.4% in 2025.
It stated that British Airways’ margin was 15.2%, adding: “Our margins, as in previous years, continue to be significantly better than those of our global competitors.”
