PIA is loosing money due to many things. I wouldnt say its because of hedging though it would play a role. I am more concerned they allow much more as check-in baggage then other carriers - this is a huge cost. Secondly, they operate too many older aircraft (burning more fuel) and lastly they have too much dead weight (too many staff)...
