Air China Turns To Profit In Q1 On Revenue Growth

China's top three state-owned airlines reported profits in Q1 2026, driven by strong demand during the Lunar New Year and recovering global travel. China Southern Airlines posted a net profit of 1.48 billion yuan, Air China 1.71 billion yuan, and China Eastern Airlines 1.63 billion yuan. However, rising fuel costs due to the Iran war cloud the outlook, with jet fuel prices nearly doubling. The airlines are expanding fleets and focusing on international markets, but face challenges in passing on costs to price-sensitive customers.
