Expenses are expected to grow by 4.0% to $940 billion. “We’re expecting airlines to deliver a global profit of $36.6 billion in 2025. This will be hard-earned as airlines take advantage of lower oil prices while keeping load factors above 83%, tightly controlling costs, investing in decarbonization, and managing the return to more normal growth levels following the extraordinary pandemic recovery. All these efforts will help to mitigate several drags on profitability which are outside of airlines’ control,” said Willie Walsh, IATA’s Director General.

Did you know that airline employment is expected to grow to 3.3 million in 2025? Overall, the global aviation value chain employs 86.5 million people. That's millions of people working every day, night, weekday, weekend - and holiday - to help keep the world connected. To all the aviation workers across the globe: thank you.

IATA is calling for a thorough, impartial and transparent investigation into the tragic crash of Azerbaijan Airlines flight 8243 on 25 December 2024. Such an investigation must be conducted in accordance with the provisions of Annex 13 of the Chicago Convention which requires the publication of an interim report within 30 days of the accident. “Our deepest sympathies are with the family and friends of those who have perished. Out of respect for the 38 people who lost their lives and to those who survived, we must find out why this catastrophe happened and take action to ensure there is never a repeat,” said Willie Walsh, IATA’s Director General.
