(Reuters) - Australia's Qantas Airways Ltd <QAN.AX> posted a 1.8% rise in first-quarter revenue on Thursday, but flagged future profit impacts from weaker global trade conditions and political ructions.
The airline posted revenue of A$4.56 billion ($3.12 billion) in the quarter ended Sept. 30, compared with a restated A$4.49 billion a year earlier.
Australia's flag carrier said the protests in Hong Kong would impact its interim profit by A$25 million, while weaker freight demand would cause a A$25-A$30 million dent in its annual profit.
