ITA Airways posts first-ever €209m net profit in 2025; vows to cut lease costs

ITA Airways reported a €209m net profit for 2025 — its first since launching in 2021, in which Lufthansa Group is a shareholder — on €3.2bn revenue (including €2.8bn passenger income) despite an 8% fall in passenger numbers. Management said long-term profitability requires slashing aircraft lease costs.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • ITA turned a €209m net surplus on €3.2bn revenue (€2.8bn passenger income) despite an 8% decline in traffic, signalling a material improvement in profitability after four years of losses.
  • Management says cutting fleet lease costs is essential to sustain margins, a decision that will directly affect fleet financing, lease renegotiations and delivery/retirement timing (see ITA's planned widebody acceleration in 2027) [source:ca669ea5-d6bd-48ed-b6f2-a1e1a0eb33d8].
  • The result and cost focus come as a wider European airline margin recovery is underway, providing context for competitive positioning and partnership value where Lufthansa is a shareholder [source:8aa45c71-474e-4a6f-8b57-761d315bdca5].
