Fuel 45 pct up in 1 week

[Aero]

How is it possible that in 1 game week the fuel price goes up by 45.5% from $66 to $96.
This is unlikely to be a natural way.

now its at 56 would you hedge fuel now?  im kinda new still so just asking.

It's happened in pretty much every game world I've ever been in. Always hedge day one.

I don't know about always hedging on day 1.  If the OP had started a week later the fuel would have immediately dropped!  I'd say watch the market and get a feel for what's happening. When you're small, hedging makes little difference, so there's no rush.

Now taking out a Supplier Contract - that I ALWAYS do on day 1, even before scheduling any aircraft, if a good one is offered.  The monthly fee is calculated on how much fuel you are currently using and stays fixed (doesn't increase with fleet size).  You can end up with a REALLY good discount for basically no cost.  The same level of discount will cost a LOT more, even when you have 15 or 20 aircraft in your fleet.  If you can get one that's at least -7% for 2.5 to 3 years, at ANY cost, it will save you $$$ millions. Well, a lot anyway.

Fuel contracts are good deals between.
Always calculate because sometimes cost more then actually earn.
