Emirates Achieves Record Profit Despite Middle East Conflict Disruptions
Emirates has reported a record profit before tax of $6.2 billion for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, despite disruptions caused by military conflict in the Gulf region. The airline's revenue reached a new high of $35.7 billion, with cash reserves increasing by 10%. The conflict, linked to the Israel-Iran situation, significantly impacted operations in February, but Emirates has since restored much of its capacity. The airline's cargo operations have been particularly strong, supporting the movement of essential goods.
