British Airways hatte heute offenbar ein größeres technisches Problem mit ihrer ältesten B772 - G-VIIA

 

Beim Flug London-Chicago musste die Maschine über Irland massiv Höhe runterlassen von knapp 11000m auf 2700m - auf dem Level kehrte der Flieger zurück nach LHR - womöglich ein Druckproblem.

Q3 financial performance

• Revenue in the third quarter increased by 4.5% to €9,744 million. Passenger revenue increased by 3.8%; Cargo revenue increased by 3.9% as we targeted premium traffic and pricing. Other revenue increased by 11.3%, as IAG Loyalty delivered another good quarter of growth.
• Non-fuel unit cost increased by 3.4%, impacted by disruption during the quarter, including major Air Traffic Control outages, partly mitigated by the ongoing benefit of cost-saving transformation initiatives. Our total fuel cost increased by 30.4% in the third quarter, net of the benefit of hedging.
• IAG Loyalty increased its profit by 8% to £152 million, at a margin of 18.9%.
• Operating profit before exceptional items in Q3 decreased to €1,726 million (2025: €2,053 million) as revenue growth was not sufficient to offset the impact of disruption and high fuel prices. Our year-to-date (nine months) operating margin before exceptional items of 13.5% demonstrates the quality and resilience of our business.
