Shell Aviation price risk management tools

Shell Aviation鈥檚 risk management tools are designed as a simple strategic response for customers who have previously struggled to get a long-term fuel plan off the ground.
We created it to be a simple and cost-effective way to manage fuel costs, giving a reassuringly transparent and predictable solution for fuel supply. Our price risk management solutions are designed to:

• Help limit your exposure to fuel price surges for volatility;
• Support you in establishing a fuel cost range for business planning; and
• Give you simple solutions that may help to reduce working capital cost and administration associated with jet fuel hedging.

Our price risk management tools include:

• Cap (max) pricing 鈥� This protects against fuel cost surges. With this option, you buy fuel at the prevailing market price, capped at a maximum price for a specified monthly volume and period.1,2 Locking in a maximum price level could help with business planning. Choosing cap (max) pricing could also limit your exposure to price surges while allowing you to benefit fully from falling market prices;
• Fixed pricing 鈥� This option allows you to buy fuel at a fixed price for a specified monthly volume and period1. This gives you certainty over jet fuel costs, and limits your exposure to price rises, which helps you manage aspects such as cash flow and borrowings, shareholder assurance, and business planning; and
• Collar (max/min) pricing 鈥� This secures fuel costs within an acceptable range. You buy fuel at the prevailing market price between a maximum (ceiling) and a minimum (floor) price for a specified monthly volume and period (with potentially zero premium).1,2 Establishing a fuel cost range can help you manage fuel costs, limiting your exposure to price rises while helping you partially benefit from a falling market, and make business planning easier.
