It comes after the carrier reported a half-year after tax profit of €1.37bn, compared to a pre-Covid H1 profit of €1.15bn due to record Q2 traffic, "strong operational reliability and robust summer fares" which in Q2 were 14% up on pre-Covid pricing.
Revenues in the first half of the year increased by almost 250% to €4.42bn as traffic recovered from 39.1m to 95.1m (at a 94% load factor).
Operating costs rose by 126% to €4.98bn, driven by lower variable costs, higher load factors and improved fuel burn from the airline’s fleet.
