The allowance for expected credit loss is comprised of customer balances that are in litigation or bankruptcy procedure and legal proceedings, which at the date of the consolidated financial statements are not yet completed. As of December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 these balances amounted to Ps.17,145, Ps.16,626 and Ps.14,136, respectively. The allowance also includes customer balances in arrears in their payments and in a process of regularization; therefore, they have not been sued. As of December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 the amount of these balances amounted to Ps.31,530, Ps.34,396 and Ps.132,817, respectively. During 2018, 2019 and 2020, the Company recognized reversals of bad debt of the balances that were in a legal process with an unfavorable outcome for the Company. The amount of these bad debt expense totaled Ps.8,142, Ps.19,778 and Ps.53,011 , respectively also decreasing the balance of accounts receivable. The reversal of bad debts had no effect on the operating results of the Company during 2018, 2019 and 2020.  In 2018 and 2019 no cancellations of allowance were carried out, while 2020 cancellations were for Ps. 11,595.

 

The allowance for expected credit loss of trade accounts receivable and asset by contracts are based on assumptions about the probability and severity of expected loss. The Company uses judgement to make these assumptions, selecting key and input data for the calculation of the said affirmation prospective at the end of each reporting period.            

 

 

 

The following are past due balances of accounts receivable, for which there has not been a provision of allowance for doubtful accounts, according to the Company’s policy and their maturity date:

The Company has cash, bonds and goods that guarantee certain amounts from TUA as well as accounts receivable from clients as of December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020. These guarantees could be applied to any unpaid balance in the event of a breach from clients and under certain circumstances.

 

The Company limits its exposure to credit risk from Trade accounts receivable by establishing a maximum payment period (30 and 45 days) for airlines and commercial customers. During the year ended 31 December 2020, the Company temporarily extended the credit terms to up to 180 days for specific customers with liquidity constraints arising as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic. All extensions were granted within current revenues limits after careful consideration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the creditworthiness of the customer and each customer that was granted an extension is closely monitored for credit deterioration.
