  • What is the largest growing cost base operationally for airlines?
  • How are airlines managing cashflows in order to manage seasonal capacity requirements? How is this balanced with fleet flexibility requirements?
  • Hedging: Are some European carries choosing to hedge FX exposure, especially in light of recent euro-dollar movements? Are they hedging fuel?
  • Is there a noticeable difference in how scheduled vs charter airlines are approaching this?
  • How are these cost considerations affecting airline financing needs and opportunities? Does this affect their relationship with lenders?
