The company reported revenue of €6.9 bn in the six months to June, an 8% increase compared to the same period last year. The airline benefited from a decrease in flights from competitors like Qatar Airways and Emirates because of the unrest in the region. “The measures we are implementing are having a positive impact on our results,” CEO Marjan Rintel said in a statement. Those measures included passing on higher fuel prices to customers, particularly on long-haul flights. Yesterday, the Air France-KLM airline group announced they had put in an offer for a stake in Portugal’s TAP airline.
