Virgin Australia achieved a 20.7% increase in its underlying profit for the six months ending December 31, 2025. The airline reported an underlying net profit after tax of A$278.7 million, exceeding the A$261.1 million consensus estimate and showing a substantial rise from the previous year.

Additionally, the group's comprehensive transformation program delivered more than A$200 million in gross benefits. This initiative, implemented after the airline exited voluntary administration, focuses on modernizing systems, streamlining operations, and simplifying its fleet for enhanced efficiency.
