Interview with Skytra: Now airlines can hedge revenues!
Revenue volatility is by far the airline’s biggest financial risk. In the light of COVID, with ticket prices being more unpredictable than ever, CFOs and treasury teams should consider using risk management tools to protect their top line.
Skytra, an Airbus subsidiary, has just obtained regulatory approval from the Financial Conduct Authority for the Skytra Price Indices which measure the price of air travel in $/RPK. Treasury teams can now complement their existing hedging tool box with these unique indices to manage revenue volatility. By hedging fuel and revenues, airlines could protect their EBIT margins and improve their credit ratings, which is key in the current climate where 95% of airlines worldwide are non-investment grade, making debt servicing costly.
John Thomas and Elise Weber will be discussing how these new tools can help to strengthen the industry for the short and long term.
