Revenue for the second quarter of 2023 stood at $14.055 billion, up 4.7% from the second quarter of 2022.
In a statement, the airline said it achieved record profits in the second quarter, thanks mainly “to the continued strength of demand”.
“Demand was particularly strong in June, driven by increased flight bookings. Domestic and short-haul international revenue continues to perform well, and the airline has seen notable strength in long-haul international demand,” the airline said.
