Alfred Sant keeps referring to a particular story published in a UK paper mentioning a particular airline which apparently saved a lot of money on fuel because of its hedging arrangements.

He has repeated the story a number of times but he completely ignored the fact that this same airline had introduced a £30 ticket-surcharge on a number of routes to make up for its expenses.

As the saying goes... there are lies and there are statistics.
