2025 performance and industry environment
Navigated a volatile year marked by tariffs, a historic government-mandated airspace shutdown, and fluctuating consumer and business confidence.
Despite disruptions, expects to close the year with ~$5 billion in profits, nearly flat year-over-year, while the rest of the industry is down 40%.
The shutdown caused a $200 million impact and a 5-10% drop in bookings, but recovery was swift with record travel days and strong holiday demand.
International travel remained robust; the impact was isolated to the domestic market.
Bookings for early 2026 and the holiday season are strong, indicating resilience and recovery.
Differentiation and business model
Differentiation is rooted in a premium product, reliability, and consistent execution over 15 years.
Maintained a focus on premiumization, technology (notably free Wi-Fi on 1,000 planes), and customer experience, while peers have shifted strategies.
Consistency and alignment across teams and strategy are emphasized as key to sustained success.
Over 90% of revenue comes from affluent consumers prioritizing travel and experiences.
The company generates over 50% of industry profits with only 20% of market seats, highlighting a significant gap with competitors.
Industry outlook and structural trends
The current industry model, where two airlines generate all profits, is unsustainable; supply rationalization is expected.
Premiumization is seen as a structural, not temporary, trend, with double-digit growth in premium segments and loyalty partnerships.
The American Express partnership is a major revenue driver, expected to reach $10 billion in the next 2-3 years.
Business travel is recovering, with pricing strong and volumes still below 2019 but expected to grow as the economy expands.
The company leads in corporate travel, winning top industry awards for 15 consecutive years.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
