The Official Airline Partner of FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, Qatar Airways Group, has once again declared a solid financial performance in its annual report for 2022–2023 that was just published. The airline attributes its successful strategy, which was implemented during a remarkable year for the Group as FIFA’s Official Partner and Official Airline of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022TM, as well as its premium product, which is focused on delivering a world-class customer experience, and the dedication of its global workforce.
During the fiscal year 2022–2023, Qatar Airways Group declared a net profit of QAR 4.4 billion (US$ 1.21 billion). QAR 76.3 billion ($21.0 billion) was the overall revenue growth, a 45 percent rise over the previous year. Passenger revenue climbed by 100% over the previous year on an increase in capacity of 31%, driven by yield increases of 9% and load factors of 80%, both records for the airline, leading to a steady growth in market share. 31.7 million passengers were carried by Qatar Airways, an increase of 71% from the previous year. Qatar Airways is well-positioned for the future thanks to its continuing focus on customer experience, loyalty, digitalization, and sustainability.
The Qatar Airways reward programme Privilege Club also experienced considerable growth in a number of new local and international partnerships, an improved offering, and revenues bolstered by the use of Avios as its currency. In addition to the current list of top international companies, Privilege Club members can now access Qatar Airways Group using the Avios currency for payment in Qatar Duty Free, Discover Qatar, and Qatar Holidays.
Throughout the 2022–2023 fiscal year, Qatar Airways Cargo remained the top air cargo carrier in the world, pushing forward with a strategic emphasis on growth, sustainability, and digitalization while continuing to support the continuity of international trade despite persistent market problems.
At QAR 17.8 billion (US$ 4.9 billion), the Group produced a solid EBITDA Margin of 23%. EBITDA increased by QAR 110 million (US$ 30.2 million) over the prior year as a result of efficient, adaptable, and fit-for-purpose company operations in every sector. The growth of Qatar Airways’ passenger and cargo networks is reflected in its positive earnings, which also meet the airline’s objective to enhancing trade and customer loyalty through the delivery of superior products and strict cost management.
