What happened

AACO expects its member airlines to swing from an approximately €9.5 billion prior-year profit to an estimated €3.7 billion net loss in 2026.

Why it matters: Regionale Konflikte, höhere Energiekosten und Betriebsunterbrechungen belasten die arabische Luftfahrt; zugleich verschärfen Lieferverzögerungen bei Flugzeugen, Triebwerken und Ersatzteilen den Druck.
