The war in the Middle East has boosted profits for Swiss International Air Lines - but it may not last.
The airline says first-quarter operating earnings reached CHF 30m, more than nine times higher than a year earlier.
It explains it was driven by strong demand in March, partly linked to the conflict - with key airspace and major hubs affected, more passengers turned to alternative routes operated by Swiss.
However, the outlook is more cautious. The company warns that rising fuel costs - now nearly double pre-conflict levels - are yet to fully impact results, with pressure expected to build in the coming months.
