The results were burdened by extraordinary losses of €68.5m from ineffective hedging, mainly due to the large portion of fuel hedging contracts for the duration of 2020 being rendered ineffective by the significant reduction in flight activity.
Net losses after tax stood at €158.8m in the first half compared to losses of €13m in the respective period last year.
