"If you've locked in an oil price, and it turns out to be a high one, then your fares will be more expensive than your competitors."

No. Your fares will remain competitive. It's just a hit to your profits.

You are free to lose money by keeping the prices competitive, or lose money by raising your prices and losing business. Either way, it's the same result.
