IAG Q1 2026: €301m net profit, but higher kerosene forces fuel-spend jump and cuts capacity growth International Airlines Group (IAG) reported €301 million Q1 2026 net profit on 1.9% higher revenue to €7.2 billion, ending the quarter with €10.1 billion in cash. The group trimmed planned capacity growth and redeployed aircraft away from the Middle East as Iran-war disruption coincided with a sharp rise in kerosene prices, lifting expected fuel spend by an additional €2 billion this year. British Airways is also weighing fare increases to offset a €31.7 billion fuel cost hit.
