According to the information got by Bloomberg news agency from JP Morgan, with British Airways losing the protection of fuel-price hedging next year, the company will be selling its long-haul economy-class seats at a loss. However, on the other hand, Deutsche Bank lifted shares in the airline on the same day to 'buy' from 'hold' since it is believed that the UK airline's position offers it some insurance against a recession in the market.

This is a bit of mirky situation for passengers, as they may find themselves again in a situation of price hike.

In a note to investors, Chris Avery, JP Morgan analyst said that the rise of oil price presupposes that the tickets for the BA's cheapest long-haul flights are already sold on a loss, when hedging is excluded. For instance, the price of a ticket between Los Angeles and San Francisco is as little as £398. Actually, this is £23 less than the price of per seat fuel, taxes and fees put together.

As a part of its recently launched Tread Lightly campaign, Eurostar has begun providing carbon-neutral journeys for all its passengers without charging any additional cost for the cause. Eurostar has plans to reduce its emissions by 25% for the journey of every passenger by 2012.

After a long and stringent selection process, the two companies have currently invested in an Indian windfarm in Tamilnadu and a small hydropower plant in China. These projects are expected to bestow a range of social and environmental benefits by displacing fossil fuels in these two highly polluting nations, in addition to providing electricity and employment in poor communities that are greatly in demand. In addition, there are several other sustainable energy projects launched by the joint effort of these two companies in many other countries.

Head of Environment for Eurostar, Louisa Bell remarked, "We wanted to source carbon credits from a reputable supplier, and that all our offsetting is done to the highest scientific and ethical standards. We wanted a company that is very close to its projects and could give us the opportunity to be involved in the choice of projects. Following a selection process, we chose Carbon Clear to offset the emissions from Eurostar journeys."

Evoking a widespread criticism by business leaders, British Airways has decided to axe its route connecting Aberdeen Airport and Gatwick route with effect from next spring. The flights in this route will end by March next year. The move follows a projection of lower demand since two US routes move to Heathrow due to a reorganisation.
