Barox International Limited says that an airline industry group has lowered its profit forecast

SAN FRANCISCO - June 3, 2025 - PRLog -- Barox International Limited, a global investment advisory firm, has released a new report analyzing the recent profit forecast revision by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) for the global airline industry. The IATA has adjusted its 2025 profit forecast from $36.6 billion to $36.0 billion, citing ongoing economic uncertainty, trade tensions, and waning consumer confidence.

Despite the downgrade, the revised forecast still surpasses the $32.4 billion profit recorded in 2024. The industry anticipates a record 4.99 billion air travelers and unprecedented revenue of $979 billion this year.

Barox International Limited notes that major U.S. airlines, including Southwest, American, Delta, and United Airlines, have either withdrawn or adjusted their forecasts amid concerns over a potential recession. Southwest Airlines, for instance, has reversed its long-standing "two bags fly free" policy to spur revenue growth, helping its shares to turn positive, while shares of American, Delta, and United remain significantly down for the year.

The report also highlights challenges such as rising trade tensions and severe aircraft delivery delays. At the 2025 IATA annual meeting in New Delhi, Director General Willie Walsh warned that increasing trade barriers and isolationist policies are harming the economy and the aviation sector, undermining decades-old international agreements on tariff-free aircraft trade.

Barox International Limited advises investors to monitor these developments closely, as they may impact airline profitability and stock performance in the coming months. Barox International Limited continues to lead the way in the investment and advisory sector, offering unparalleled support and strategic guidance to companies navigating the complexities of the public markets.
