Qantas Group has reported a fiscal year 2025 (FY2025) net profit of $1.61 billion. Group Domestic delivered $1.52 billion in Underlying EBIT, up 12 percent from the prior year, while Group International achieved a 20 percent improvement in Underlying EBIT to $903 million.
On Thursday (August 28, 2025), Qantas Group announced their FY 2025 results for the period ending June 30, 2025. The Group reported a fiscal year 2025 (FY2025) net profit of $1.61 billion. Group Domestic delivered $1.52 billion in Underlying EBIT, up 12 percent from the prior year, while Group International achieved a 20 percent improvement in Underlying EBIT to $903 million.
In Thursday’s announcement, Qantas Group’s CEO, Vanessa Hudson, said,
“For everyone across the Qantas Group, this year has been all about delivery. While we are pleased with the progress we are making, we remain focused on further improving our performance and continuing to deliver for our customers, people and shareholders. Continuing strong demand across all market segments, combined with our dual brand strategy, helped the Group grow earnings. Qantas and Jetstar carried four million more customers during the year, while our Loyalty business grew as frequent flyers engaged with the program more than ever before. Our strong financial performance is enabling significant investment in new aircraft and customer initiatives, helping deliver better operational performance and customer satisfaction across both airlines.
“Jetstar had a standout year, with its fleet renewal providing a significant boost to earnings. In a high cost of living environment, Jetstar continued to provide value for customers, with around one in three travelling for under $100.
“Despite the strong performance across the Group, we saw some costs rise above the rate of inflation, which reduced the benefits of lower fuel. Transformation remains a priority given ongoing increases in airport and government charges, engineering and supply chain costs and the impact of Same Job Same Pay legislation. I want to thank our people who serve our customers with passion every day. They are the real stars of our performance and we are introducing a new employee share plan so they can share in our success.
“As well as rewarding our employees, we have also resumed paying dividends. We have announced we will pay a base final dividend of $250 million and a special dividend of $150 million, taking dividends for the full year to $800 million.
“Looking ahead, there is a lot to be excited about. This year will see an acceleration of Qantas’ domestic fleet renewal and in the coming years we’ll take delivery of additional A321XLR aircraft fitted with lie-flat Business seats. We will also be using more Sustainable Aviation Fuel from overseas airports while we continue efforts with Government and industry to establish a SAF industry in Australia.
“Direct flights from the east coast of Australia to London and New York are also a step closer to reality, with the first Project Sunrise A350-1000ULR aircraft to enter the final assembly line in the coming months, and the first aircraft delivery expected in October next year.”
During FY 2025, Qantas’ charter revenue increased 9.0 percent, facilitated by the arrival of five additional Airbus A319s to service the resources market in Western Australia. QantasLink also received five new A220s during the year, which are expected to deliver a $9 million additional annual EBITDA benefit per aircraft over the 717 aircraft they have replaced. The regional carrier’s transition to an all-Q400 turboprop fleet continued during the year, with all Q200s and Q300s now retired. Qantas Freight’s net revenue grew 7.0 percent year-over-year, which was enabled by simplifying the division’s fleet and other transformation initiatives.
Jetstar carried a record 16 million passengers domestically in FY 2025, helping to deliver a 55 per cent increase in Underlying EBIT. This was possible thanks to new aircraft, strong demand, and lower fuel prices. Jetstar also carried around 25 percent more customers internationally, with particularly positive performance into Japan, Thailand and South Korea. The carrier launched 11 new international routes during FY 2025, supported by the delivery of seven new A321LRs and four A320neos. Following the closure of Jetstar Asia last month, it’s the carrier’s A320 fleet will be progressively redeployed across Jetstar Australia, Jetstar New Zealand and QantasLink to support fleet renewal, and replace leased aircraft.
Jetstar’s refreshed Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet will enter service towards the end of FY 2026. The carrier’s new A321XLRs will also begin to arrive from calendar year 2027, and will feature a two-class cabin for medium haul international travel.
Additionally, During FY 2025, Qantas opened new lounges in Adelaide and Broome, and commenced significant upgrades to their Sydney, Auckland, and Los Angeles Business lounges. Qantas also activated fast and free international Wi-Fi on Southeast Asia and trans-Tasman routes, with more markets to be connected during the coming year. Jetstar also enhanced their in-app self-service capability, launched tap and go for easy onboard payments, and improved their ancillary product offering.
