China Airlines said revenue and net profit for the first three quarters both set records for the same period, with EPS of NT$1.8. Third-quarter revenue, net profit and EPS also reached same-period highs; EPS was NT$0.72.
Passenger revenue rose 14.35% year on year in the first three quarters and 22.4% in the third quarter. The airline said demand during this year's summer travel peak helped passenger revenue set records in both periods.
First-three-quarter cargo revenue rose 29.16% year on year. China Airlines attributed the increase mainly to sustained strength in high-value cargo, including AI servers and semiconductor equipment. It said cargo demand was growing steadily, with market volume and prices rising; third-quarter cargo revenue increased 37.47% year on year.
