Aircraft Engine Long Term Service Contracts

 

The Company is a party to long-term service contracts to perform engine replacement and major maintenance. These contracts extend the useful life of an engine by providing major maintenance and/or replacement engines to mitigate risk of lost charter revenue due to aircraft downtime. Under these arrangements, the Company makes periodic payments in advance of services being performed or replacement parts being provided. These payments are generally based on contractual minimum usage requirements as well as variable usage in excess of such minimum thresholds. Payments made for such contracts for aircraft operated under operating leases are expensed as incurred. In the case of long-term service contracts for aircraft owned or financed, the Company evaluates the economic substance of these arrangements and accounts for the related payments based on their underlying nature as follows:

 

-Reserve balances – Amounts funded under these programs represent prepaid maintenance funding and are recorded as an asset on the balance sheet. These balances are amortized over the remaining term of the respective agreements based on estimated level-rate engine hours over the contractual term of the maintenance arrangements. The amortization reflects the pattern of consumption of the underlying economic benefit and is periodically adjusted based on updated estimates of future aircraft utilization.
-Minimum usage component – Payments associated with contractual minimum usage requirements are considered part of the overall reserve funding structure. Increases in reserve balances resulting from such minimum funding are included within the engine reserve asset and are amortized over the remaining contractual term based on estimated level-rate engine hours over the term of the maintenance arrangements. This amortization reflects the pattern of consumption of the underlying economic benefit and is periodically adjusted based on updated estimates of future aircraft utilization.
-Incremental usage component – Payments associated with usage in excess of contractual minimum thresholds represent variable, usage-based consumption of engine life and are expensed as incurred.

 

When major maintenance or replacement events occur under these programs, the Company evaluates the nature of the costs incurred. To the extent such costs represent a significant restoration or extension of engine life and are not otherwise satisfied through previously funded reserves, such amounts may be capitalized and amortized over the expected period of benefit.
