5. LEASES

As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company operated 18 and 14 leased aircraft, respectively, which are accounted for under operating lease agreements with ranging terms of 10 months to 10 years. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less will be

recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. These leases primarily relate to the Company’s lease agreements for the month-to-month agreement for office space and leases for office equipment.

For operating leases with terms greater than 12 months, including renewal options when appropriate, we record the related right-of-use asset and lease liability as the present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term.

In addition, the aircraft lease requires the Company to make maintenance reserve payments to cover the cost of major scheduled maintenance for the aircraft. These payments are generally variable as they are based on utilization of the aircraft, including the number of flight hours flown and/or flight departures, and are not included as minimal rental obligations.

The Company reviewed the operating leases for extension options that may be reasonably certain to be exercised and then would become part of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. On December 21, 2022, and October 10, 2023, the Company signed extensions for two aircraft extending their lease terms for an additional 60 and 15 months from original ending date of June 1, 2023, and October 1, 2023, to May 31, 2028, and December 31, 2024, respectively. In addition, on March 27, 2024 an additional extension was signed to extend aircraft lease term for an additional 74 months from previous extended ending date of December 31, 2024 to February 28, 2031. Terms of extensions were agreed solely to grant the Company the right to use the asset for the related additional time including no changes in payment rent. As such, extension was accounted as a modification of lease in accordance with ASC 842 rather than as a new contract and the Company remeasured at modification date the following: Right-of-use asset, lease liability, discount rate, lease term and classification. In addition, as of March 31, 2024, the Company signed a lease agreement to convert one of its lease passenger aircraft with lease term ending on November 1, 2024, into an Aircraft Freighter at lessor's expense. The new lease is contingent on a successful conversion from induction date of November 1, 2024, and can take up to a year. Among terms agreed includes commitment fees paid to lessor and also no basic and supplemental rent shall be payable while the Aircraft undergoes conversion during the period commencing on the conversion induction date and ending on the conversion redelivery date. The Company expects to record a new lease on the acceptance of redelivery date, which is the date the lessee will have access to the leased asset. Furthermore, on August 1, 2024, the Company signed a new lease to extend one A320 passenger aircraft for a lease term of an additional 93 months from original ending date of November 15, 2023. Terms of extension included contingencies on lessor of timely deliveries of repairs on engines and incremental increases in monthly basic rents throughout the lease. As such, extension was accounted as a new lease in accordance with ASC 842 from a new contract and the Company recorded at lease commencement date a new Right-of-use asset and lease liability.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, we had 46 aircraft support equipment capitalized within our Consolidated Balance Sheet with useful lives between 1 and 30 years. All aircraft support equipment were financed through finance and operating leases with terms between 1 and 7 years. Related right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recorded at the present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. Amortization of the equipment under finance and operating leases is on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in Depreciation and amortization in our Consolidated Statement of Operations. Residual values for equipment are estimated to be from 0% to 77%. Some of our finance leases include optional renewal periods. Generally, we do not consider any additional renewal periods to be reasonably certain of being exercised, as the initial lease term of the related lease is for all or most of the useful life of the equipment and thus renewal periods are not included in the lease term, nor any related payments are reflected in the finance lease assets and finance lease liabilities.

The Company uses the rate stated in the lease to discount lease payments to present value. In the event the leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit or stated rate, the Company estimates the incremental borrowing rate to discount lease payments based on information available initially at adoption and at lease commencement going forward, taking into consideration recent debt issuance as well as publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics. The table below presents lease terms and discount rates related to the Company's finance and operating leases:

We also lease office space and office equipment for our headquarters, airport facilities, and certain airport gate facilities and maintenance facilities on a month-to-month basis. Amounts for leases that are on a month-to-month basis are not included as an obligation in the table above.
