Not really. The problem with fuel is the price is not predicatble at the moment, so which supplier will be willing to enter into long term hedging schemes in this enviromen? The answer is probably none. So yes whilst the price is low it will be good for the airlines, but next month it may well have jumped again. No one knows, which is the problem at present.
