They will understand the determinants of exchange rates and examine the volatility of key global and emerging market currencies. The course also covers a wide range of revenue protection strategies. These include the use of forwards, futures, options, swaps, and natural hedges such as pricing adjustments and revenue diversification. Participants will learn how to negotiate contracts with currency clauses. They will also implement hedging strategies effectively within airline treasury operations.

By completing this program, attendees will be able to forecast revenue under different currency scenarios.
