:Australia's flagship carrier Qantas Airways Ltd said on Tuesday it was expecting to post underlying profit before tax of between A$2.43 billion and A$2.48 billion ($1.68 billion) for fiscal 2023, helped by continued strength in travel demand.
Qantas also raised its existing share buyback by up to A$100 million.
Flying activity increased in the second half as new aircraft and more wide body jets returned from long-term storage, the company said in a statement.
Jet fuel prices remain elevated but recent falls will deliver a cost improvement in the second half, Qantas said.
The airline posted an annual underlying loss before tax of A$1.86 billion in financial year 2022. It swung to a record first-half profit this year as appetite for travel grew.
