What Hype is tracking

Reported €209m net profit on €3.2bn revenue in 2025 despite an 8% passenger decline — the carrier’s first net profit and second year of positive EBIT.
Management flags that sustainable margins hinge on slashing aircraft lease costs, a concrete operational and financial target that will drive fleet and contract decisions (€209m net profit).
Increasing alignment with Lufthansa — including the Volare-to-Miles & More migration, slot cooperation at Heathrow and accelerated widebody entries — will shape network, revenue mix and integration levers available to improve profitability.
