DUBAI (Reuters) – Qatar Airways late on Wednesday reported a record annual revenue of 76.3 billion riyals ($21 billion), underpinned by higher customer base after the Doha-based carrier hosted the FIFA World Cup as its official partner and airline.
Net profit for the fiscal year 2022-2023 stood at 4.4 billion riyals ($1.21 billion), the company said in a statement, when the airlines carried 31.7 million passengers, a 71% jump year-on-year.
The airline recorded a load factor of 80% and yields, both the highest in the company’s history.
During the World Cup, Qatar Airways operated about 14,000 flights bringing in more than 1.4 million fans to the Arab country.
