Chart of the Week: Airlines to Show a Profit in 2023

The airline industry is forecast to return to a net profit position in 2023 , at $9.8 billion USD.

Being able to report a profit in 2023 is a remarkable achievement, given the depth of the financial disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the mere three years since.

This illustrates not only the resilience of the?airline industry?in terms of adapting to external shocks but also the willingness of passengers to?travel, as well as the need for air transportation in the wider economy.

On a per passenger basis, however, net profitability in 2023 is limited to $2.20 - roughly the price of half a cup of coffee in Geneva, Switzerland.
