@jrobinsuk IAG looks to be ending its use of fuel hedges. CFO Steve Gunning says it is reviewing its hedging policy “to see whether we need to learn from 2020 and take a different tack.” This comes after recording a £352 million hedging loss in Q3.
@SpaethFlies “We will have an all-@BoeingAirplanes fleet on long haul and haven’t decided about going all-Boeing on medium haul yet” says @KLM CEO Pieter Elbers just now #CAPALive #avgeek.
