(f) Assumption, Amendment & Rejection of Executory Contracts & Leases

On June 28, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the Debtors to establish procedures for the rejection of certain executory contracts and unexpired leases and on September 24, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the Debtors to establish procedures for the rejection of certain unexpired aircraft lease agreements, aircraft engine agreements and the abandonment of certain related assets. In accordance with these rejection procedures, the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules the Debtors have or will reject certain contracts and leases (see notes 18 and 26). Relatedly, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Debtors’ request to extend the date by which the Debtors may assume or reject unexpired non-residential, real property leases until December 22, 2020. Pursuant to the Disclosure Statement Order, the Debtors have until the Effective Date of the Plan (as defined in the Plan) to assume or reject executory contracts and unexpired leases.

Further, the Debtors have filed motions to reject certain aircraft and engine leases and related agreements:

As of December 31, 2021, and as a result of these contract rejections, performance obligations with the lenders and lessors

were extinguished and the Company lost control over the related assets resulting in the derecognition of the assets and the liabilities associated with these aircraft. See Note 18 and 26.

Contracts rejected during 2022 in the previous table do not result in changes in the asset or liabilities structure of the Company, since these were general terms of agreement for purchases, engine maintenance contracts and short term leases which according to the accounting policies (see Note 2) should not be registered as right of use assets.
