airlines have a variety of options available to minimise fuel price risk. Most of their hedging activity involves over the counter (OTC) instruments which are largely unregulated and difficult to study. Market activity in futures exchanges presents a safer option whose activity is monitored and regulated.

This is important due to the fact that nearly "70% of U.S. communities rely solely on trucking for their supplies" ("ATA" 23).
