Aegean Airlines S.A.

Aegean Airlines increased revenue in the first half of 2026 by 4% to EUR 817m, but recorded a net loss of EUR 3.3m compared with a profit of EUR 48m a year earlier. Higher jet fuel costs, disruptions in the Middle East network and valuation effects weighed heavily on EBITDA, EBIT and pre‑tax profit. Liquid funds remain robust at around EUR 950m, but management cut its 2026 capacity guidance and expects no ASK growth for 2027. The company’s strategy includes fleet modernization with more A321neo/A321LR aircraft, lounge expansion and tighter capacity controls, while fuel costs and geopolitical risks are cited as the main burdens. » More on de.investing.com
