Price Sensitivity
Jet fuel represents approximately 25-30% of United Airlines' total operating costs, making it the single largest expense item. United's fuel hedging program varies but typically covers 20-40% of near-term consumption. A $10/barrel move in crude oil translates to roughly $1.5-2 billion in annual fuel cost impact. The airline also has indirect aluminum exposure through aircraft procurement.
