Air New Zealand is working with Boeing to re-phase deliveries of its Boeing 787-9 fleet after manufacturing delays pushed the next two aircraft into the first half of the 2027 financial year. The revised delivery schedule is being offset by the earlier-than-expected return of grounded Boeing 787s following Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engine maintenance, providing the airline with greater flexibility to manage capacity growth. The carrier continues to retrofit its existing 787-9 fleet with new cabins, with completion expected by November, while also planning steady network growth of 3–4% annually between 2026 and 2031. Air New Zealand is further supported by the gradual return of Airbus A321neos affected by Pratt & Whitney GTF engine issues, enabling the airline to pursue targeted, profitable expansion despite ongoing supply chain and engine-related challenges.

Qatar Airways reported its highest-ever annual operating profit for the year to end-March, despite the outbreak of the Iran war at the end of February. Operating profit rose 4% to QR15.2 billion ($4.2 billion), despite a marginal slip in revenue, to QR86 billion, as passenger numbers fell and capacity was cut amid the geopolitical upheaval of March. Net profit slipped back 10% to QR7.1 billion. "It is not often that a single financial year asks an organisation to demonstrate both the best of what it can achieve and the depth of what it can withstand," stated Qatar Airways chief executive Hamad Al Khater, who joined in December. "FY2025/26 did both." He added that the consequences of the conflict "remain very much present as this report is published". Cirium schedules data shows that the airline operated around a third fewer weekly seats through May.

Philippine Airlines (PAL) will resume its Manila–Dubai services from 2 October, initially operating five weekly flights with plans to progressively restore daily operations as conditions permit. The route had been suspended following the outbreak of the Iran–USA conflict on 28 February. Upon resumption, PAL will compete directly with Cebu Pacific and Emirates, restoring capacity on a key international route linking the Philippines with the Middle East.
