Widening fluctuations in fuel prices
add yet another risk for the airline industry, already one
of the most competitive and cost-conscious sectors of the
economy. Jet fuel expenses, historically 10 to 15 percent
of a US passenger airline’s operating costs, now average
more than 35 percent. Every penny per gallon that fuel
costs rise adds another $195 million in annual expenses
for passenger and cargo airlines.
Whether buying on the spot market or
locking in a long-term contract, SAS BookRunner helps
airlines manage their positions and capture deals quickly
and accurately, model “what if” trading scenarios and
manage tax and risk reporting. BookRunner’s jet fuel
hedging solutions mean airlines can both take advantage of
price shifts and reduce exposure to run-ups in the
commodity markets. SAS BookRunner provides the complete
toolset for an airline to manage price risk, control cash
flow and gain an enterprise-wide view. |

America runs on coal. The most
affordable source of power, coal fuels about half of the
electricity generated in the United States and more than
1,000 manufacturing facilities. But from the mine to the
furnace, coal travels a complex supply chain and faces
some tough regulatory terrain. That complexity requires a
solution that can help control costs, improve business
decisions with real-time data and produce timely and
accurate reports.
SAS BookRunner, either as an integrated
solution suite or operating as independent modules, helps
coal companies measure and manage their positions and
exposure, monitor credit positions in real-time and model
“what if” trading scenarios. With BookRunner, coal
companies can integrate data from the entire supply chain
to streamline operations and achieve an enterprise view,
achieve accurate scheduling and settlement, and ensure
internal controls are met and compliance reporting is
exact and on time. SAS BookRunner provides the complete
toolset for coal managers and executives to make better
business decisions faster.
