Bangkok Airways Nine-Month Profit Jumps 20% to 3.8 Billion Baht
Bangkok Airways posted a 20% jump in nine-month net profit to 3.77 billion baht on revenue of 21.1 billion baht. The airline carried 3.2 million passengers in the first nine months of 2026, with strong domestic demand — especially on Samui routes — driving higher load factors and earnings.
Bangkok Airways (BA) reported its third-quarter and first-nine-month 2026 results. For the nine-month period, total revenue reached 21,092 million baht, a 5.5% increase, and net profit rose 20% to 3,766 million baht compared to the same period in 2025. Earnings per share stood at 1.81 baht, up 0.33 baht from the previous year.
CEO Puthipong Prasarttong-Osoth said Q3 revenue grew 11.2% to 7,181 million baht, with net profit up 27.5% to 1,335 million baht. Growth was driven by a 13.5% rise in passenger revenue and a 5.3% increase in sales and services revenue, while total costs rose 8.1% due to higher fuel and maintenance expenses.
The airline emphasized flexible network management to match demand. Q3 flights increased 3.6% year-on-year, led by a 6.3% expansion in domestic routes, particularly Samui services which remain popular with tourists. Q3 passenger numbers reached 1.1 million, up 4.9%, with a load factor of 80.5% versus 76.3% last year. For the first nine months, the carrier transported 3.2 million passengers. Bangkok Airways aims to maintain profitability through efficient route and cost management amid industry changes.
