The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which represents some 1,400 commercial airlines around the world, said a 6.4 per cent increase in the number of passengers from 2014 and a 40 per cent decline in jet fuel costs contributed to the industry's profits.
There were around 3.5 billion passenger flights in 2015.
The increasing presence of low cost carriers in emerging economies also helped boost overall profits, the ICAO said.
Looking forward to 2016, the agency forecasts that a further decline in oil prices and an improving global economy "should see passenger traffic and profits continue their upward trend".
