Enter Air's flight from Enfidha to Wroclaw was delayed after a bird strike damaged the aircraft during landing on October 12, 2026, Fakt reported. The aircraft underwent repairs and technical checks before returning to service, keeping the company story centered on operational resilience rather than a new financial release.

Three events shape the year

On September 29, 2026, Enter Air reported first-half revenue of PLN 1.48 billion, up 18.00 percent from PLN 1.26 billion a year earlier, according to Bankier.pl. On September 30, coverage of the half-year report highlighted contracts worth USD 634.00 million with four major customers, 18.00 percent more than a year earlier.

On October 12, 2026, the bird strike caused a delay of close to 14 hours for passengers returning to Poland. Fakt said passengers were accommodated in hotels while the aircraft was inspected and repaired.

What does the growth mean?

The half-year expansion came with a PLN 130.31 million net loss, compared with a PLN 187.78 million net profit in the first half of 2025. The loss included PLN 89.20 million of unrealized lease valuation differences and PLN 30.60 million of unrealized hedging valuation differences, according to the Enter Air release published by Strefa Inwestorow.

Second-quarter EBITDA reached PLN 172.40 million versus a PLN 169.80 million consensus, a 1.60 percent beat, while second-quarter revenue came to PLN 995.70 million versus PLN 985.00 million expected. The contrast matters: scale improved, but operating profitability remained exposed to fuel prices, foreign exchange and fleet preparation costs.

Fleet expansion carries the next test

Enter Air operated 40 aircraft in the summer 2026 season, including 12 Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, according to the company material carried by Parkiet. Management plans to add five aircraft net for the summer 2027 season, while the company is also expanding maintenance capacity through a third hangar slot.

For investors, the central comparison is revenue growth against profit quality. A larger operation and USD 634.00 million customer contract base support utilization, but the first-half loss shows how currency valuation and hedging effects can outweigh operating progress in the reported result.

Warsaw quote stays in view

Enter Air was last at PLN 48.05 on the Warsaw Stock Exchange on October 12, 2026, according to the exchange page, while the company remains identified by ticker ENTER and ISIN PLENTER00017. The next financial focus is the third quarter, the seasonal peak identified in the September coverage.
