Australia-headquartered regional airline, Alliance Aviation Services, has reported a net profit of A$82.1 million (US$53 million) for the 12 months to June 30, down 4.9% from a net profit of A$86.3 million in the previous year. Revenue increased 19.4%, to A$760.9 million, Alliance said. "Our operating performance for the year was outstanding, achieving record flying hours in spite of severe weather events across several regions, protected industrial action and the sidelining of two aircraft after sustaining structural damage," Alliance joint managing director, Stewart Tully, said.
BOC Aviation booked a net profit of US$342 million for the six months to June 30 compared with a US$460 million profit in the same months a year ago. Revenue was higher by 6%, at US$1.2 billion, BOC Aviation said in a regulatory filing. The lessor’s financial results in first half 2024 included a number of one-time gains related to its aircraft in the Russian Federation. "We recorded our highest ever core first-half earnings, driven by rising demand in all our key businesses," BOC Aviation CEO, Steven Townend, said. "Our 351 aircraft order book is one of the largest of any aircraft lessor and will provide the core of our future growth."
Etihad Cargo plans to offer belly-hold capacity on more than 880 passenger flights a week by October, with the figure increasing to above 1,000 flights a week by March next year as a result of the carrier’s expanding passenger route network.
