⚡ Quantum Brief
International Airlines Group (IAG), owner of British Airways, reported strong first-quarter bookings in February 2026, driven by rebounding transatlantic travel demand and lower fuel costs. The company forecast steady mid-term profit margins, citing sustained demand on its most lucrative transatlantic routes as a key growth driver. IAG’s adjusted operating profit for fiscal 2025 reached €5.02 billion ($5.9 billion), slightly exceeding analyst estimates of €4.99 billion. The rebound in transatlantic travel follows post-pandemic recovery trends, with premium routes delivering higher yields and occupancy rates. Lower fuel prices contributed to improved financial performance, offsetting operational challenges and supporting profit stability.
