airBaltic Reports Highest Profit Ever for H1 2023 – Airways | Airlines

DALLAS — Latvian carrier airBaltic (BT) reported the highest-ever revenue in the airline’s history for the year’s first six months. The all-Airbus A220 operator has seen a 52% growth compared to the corresponding period from the previous year and a 33% growth compared to 2019 levels.

Throughout the past six months, BT has recorded staggering growth as the airline industry continues to bounce back to its pre-pandemic levels with a solid summer travel season upon us. During the first half of 2023, the airline reported a net income of €14.6 million, representing an improvement of €105.7 compared to the same period in 2022. Furthermore, BT attained its highest-ever revenue for the first half of a year with a revenue of €291 million.

The Baltic flag carrier also reported a staggering EBITDAR of €57 million, exceeding its EBITDAR during the same period in 2022 by €50 million. According to IG International Limited, a leading London-based investment company, the metric EBITDAR stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and restructuring or rent costs.

Investors use the metric to assess a company that has undergone restructuring within the past year, financial health, and performance. A higher EBITDAR, such as BT, implies lower operating expenses relative to total revenue and displayed an impressive financial performance for the airline in the first half of 2023.
