Lufthansa posts record quarterly revenue, but the war in Iran will add €2 billion to its fuel bill
The Lufthansa Group reported record revenue for the third quarter of 2026 — €12.24 billion — and a 6% rise in operating profit, despite fuel costs increasing by €543 million due to the Middle East conflict. However, the annual kerosene bill is forecast at €9.3 billion, roughly €2 billion more than in 2025, and the company has lowered the upper end of its profit guidance.
