Mexican Carrier Eyes Double Digit Operating Profit Margin

Aeromexico believes it is in good shape to take advantage of more favourable conditions in the second half of the year after riding out challenges in the second quarter. The Mexican carrier posted an operating profit of $68 million for the three months ending June 2026, down from $230 million a year before. Despite sharp increases in fuel costs and uncertainty around the impact of the football World Cup, Aeromexico’s strong demand environment and premium revenue mix enabled the carrier to boost revenues 13% to $1.48 billion in the second quarter. This was reported by FlightGlobal.
