The Indian economy recorded a lower GDP growth rate of 4.7%. Currency volatility and devaluation of the Indian Rupee further exacerbated the situation, leading to a drop in discretionary travel.

...Jet Blue Airways JetBlue Airways took to the skies in 2000 under a novel concept: bringing humanity back to air travel. Based at New York's Kennedy International Airport, JetBlue, a non-union airline, distinguished itself from other low-fare carriers such as Southwest Airlines by offering seat-back entertainment systems with live television, comfortable seats and blue corn chips. During the last six years, when traditional airlines were piling up more than $40 billion in losses, JetBlue grew to $1.7 billion in annual revenue and became increasingly popular with travelers. But now that fuel prices have pushed up expenses for all airlines, and older carriers have sharply cut their own labor costs, the advantage JetBlue enjoyed as a start-up is greatly reduced. JetBlue — too new to have built up excessive costs that can now be trimmed, is trying mightily to raise fares in a bid to restore profits after surging fuel prices caused it to lose $42.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2009. The trends in the U.S. airline industry and how these trends might impact a company’s strategy The airline industry is susceptible to upturns and downturns with the trends in the economy. A growing economy and booming business mean greater demand for air travel, and a slow-down in the economy means reduced demand, consequent unutilized capacity and intensified competition. The availability of venture capital and other capital sources have an impact on the number of new entrants...

...Jet Blue Airways case study Introductіon Twelve years ago JetBlue was a breath of fresh air in an airline industry bogged down by the ways of legacy carriers that were unconcerned with customer service and known for price gouging. JetBlue was revolutionary. With a fleet of new planes -- all Airbus A320s, which cut down on repair costs -- a staff that worked primarily from home, and 40% of ticket sales executed online, the company emerged as the premier low-cost carrier focused on providing extra-friendly, efficient service (LaMotta, 2010). Jet blue was a discount airline carrier that offered passengers low fares; operated point-to-point systems; used two types of aircraft; served only snacks; and maintained quick turnaround times at airports. Its operating costs were low, especially compared to those of other major U.S. airline companies. In the first quarter of 2008, for example, JetBlue’s total operating expenses amounted to 12.77 cents per revenue passenger mile, compared to 20.95 cents per revenue passenger mile for Delta and 13.85 cents per revenue passenger mile for Southwest (Michael, 2010). According to (Enterprise, 2011) JetBlue Airways is a low-cost passenger airline that provides customer service primarily on point-to-point routes. The company primarily operates in the US. It is headquartered in Forest Hills, New York and employs 12,532 people. The company recorded revenues of $3,286 million during the financial...

The Hedging Process 1. The Fuel Hedging Decision-making 2. Steps in the Hedging Process 3. Different types of Hedging Strategies 4. The Accounting Aspects of Hedging 5. Formula used in the Spot Pricing of Jet Fuel 3. Pros and Cons Arguments of Hedging Jet Fuel 4. Risk Factors that may affect the Hedging of Jet Fuel. 5. Conclusion 6. Data Analysis, Graphics and Tables 7. Bibliography Introduction The hedging of jet fuel by major airlines is the topic of this project. Hedging is considered by some as a form of insurance, similar to the kind you buy for your personal use (health, life, auto) or for your business (fire, flood, cargo). The process of hedging fuel and its derivatives is far more complicated than going out to buy a homeowner’s insurance policy, for example. We will address the different types of hedging strategies that can and are being implemented by some of the major global carriers and we will also take a look at those carriers who do not practice hedging at all. Hedging allows airlines to “insure” themselves against a negative event, such as a sharp rise...
