Coverage strategies with derivative financial products: Vueling case

Abstract

The present work tries to solve the commodities risk. We will see how, from a hedging perspective, derivative financial products can be used to avoid and transfer risk. In particular, we will delve into the financial options and we will take the theory into practice with real data through the case of the Vueling company. We will discover that the survival of the airline depends to a large extent on the correct management of said risk, since its degree of exposure is very high. To solve this situation, we will propose various strategies and analyze their results.
