Dubai’s Emirates Group posted a Dh3.6 billion ($980 million) in half-year profits after tax, despite the disruptions caused due to the Iran war and higher fuel costs.

Revenue for the six months to the end of September reached Dh66.2 billion, Emirates said in a statement on Thursday.

The airline’s fiscal year ends in March.

“The Emirates Group has reported a profit for the first six months of 2026-27 despite regional challenges and high fuel costs. Its half-year performance illustrates the resilience of the Group’s business model, and the capabilities of its people,” Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed, chairman and chief executive of Emirates airline and group, said in a post on X.
