Qantas Airways Limited (ASX:QAN) has exceeded its own expectations for its interim result and posted its best performance in four years. 

Australia’s biggest airline rebounded to a net profit of $206 million in the first half of the 2015 financial year from a loss of $235 million the year before. 

The company’s underlying result came in at $367 million, above its guidance range of between $300 million to $350 million. 

Qantas’ performance was aided by its transformation program, lower fuel prices and a lower Australian dollar. 

No dividend has been declared and no profit guidance has been provided.
