English term or phrase: hedge fuel
Aparecen varios ejemplos a lo largo del texto de este verbo, cuyo significado no veo claro:

"While the fuel-efficient planes allowed the airline to keep its costs lower than those of legacy carriers, its two challenges were finding pilots and managing fuel costs since it did not hedge fuel."

"For fuel, the company aimed to hedge between 40% and 60% of its fuel consumption within 12 months."

Supongo que tiene que ver con cubrir las necesidades de combustible, ¿pero cómo se suele traducir cuando aparece en frases así?

Gracias.
