British Airways in first profit for two years
British Airways (BA) has reported a half-year profit of £158m ($252m),its first in two years,as the company prepares to merge with Iberia of Spain.
The stronger-than-expected results come despite the impact of cabin crew strikes and the Icelandic ash cloud.
Meanwhile,Iberia has reported a nine-month profit of 53m euros (£46m; $74m).
Separately,it has emerged that BA boss Willie Walsh and other executives will receive substantial pay rises after the two airlines merge.
Bounce back
Analysts had been expecting a profit figure for BA of about £75m - half of what the airline actually made.
Revenues were up 8.4% to £4.4bn,thanks to a particularly strong 39% rise in cargo revenues,according to the airlines official release.
Costs were cut by 1.5%.The company said that cost control was something that it continued to focus on.
Performance was much stronger during the latter half of the six-month reporting period.
Pre-tax profits in the three months to September - which was free of strikes and ash - were £322m.
This more than offset a loss in the previous quarter,which saw 15 days of strikes as well as the eruption of the Eyjafjallajoekull volcano in Iceland in April.
The company also suffered under European air traffic control strikes during the period,though Mr Walsh boasted that despite this,74% of BA's Heathrow flights and 84% of its Gatwick flights still departed on time.
The half-year results mark a complete turnaround from the £292m loss that BA made during the same period in 2009,at the depth of the recession.
Pay packet
British Airways and Iberia will merge on 21 January.
Mr Walsh will become chief executive of the combined company - International Consolidated Airlines Group - and will see his basic pay rise 12% to £825,000 a year.
He will also be eligible for performance-related bonuses under the merger deal,that will be capped at twice his basic pay,or £1.65m.
