12% Passenger Growth, Profit Declines 20% in Q1
The carrier registered about 12 per cent year-on-year growth in passenger volumes, carrying 3.1 crore passengers during the April-June 2025 quarter, showcasing resilient demand even as yields declined by 5 per cent to Rs 4.98 per km and load factor dipped by 2.1 points to 84.6 per cent.
Revenue from operations rose 4.7 per cent to Rs 20,496 crore. However, the airline’s profit after tax dropped 20.2 per cent from Rs 2,729 crore in Q1 2024-25.
The June quarter was shaped by significant external challenges that created headwinds for the entire aviation sector. Despite these industry-wide disruptions, we reported a net profit of Rs 21,763 million with a net profit margin of around 11 per cent for the quarter ended June 2025. While the revenue environment saw moderation, demand for air travel held strong as we served more than 31 million passengers during the quarter, reflecting a growth of around 12 per cent on a year-over-year basis -Pieter Elbers, CEO
Looking forward, Elbers said they remain optimistic about the growth of air travel going ahead.
