Fuel hedging - discounted or market price?

[Curse]

Hey guys,

I found no clear answer on this, neither in the forums nor from my AWS playing friends.


If I have a fuel contract of let's say 10% and I decide to hedge 100% fuel for 12 month.

Is the fuel I hedge discounted by 10%? Or ist it market price and I waste the discount?

Fuel contract and fuel hedging

Please note that the fuel supplier contracts and fuel hedging are two separate contract methods. You may use both at the same time if you wish.

Fuel supplier contracts apply only to your base airports (only the airports where you have signed a contract), while the fuel hedging affects all of your fuel purchases globally around your route network. If you have both contracts active, you will purchase fuel at the given hedged price from the financial markets, and after that the fuel supplier will give you a separate discount for using his company only at your home base airport. Combining both of the contract types may yield substantial savings on fuel costs, if planned carefully.

Hey schro,

thanks.

But I think that was too easy, maybe you want to explain it in your own words?





Nah, seriously, thanks a lot and shame on me, I forgot to check the manual.
