According to a trading update, Jet2 expects to report strong financials, thanks in part to its fuel hedging strategy. This move is seen as a proactive approach to managing fuel price volatility, and it may help the airline mitigate the impact of fuel price spikes. The news was first reported by Aviation Week.
