Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
GENERAL AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | GENERAL AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization and Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Air Group, or the Company, and its primary subsidiaries, Alaska and Horizon. The condensed consolidated financial statements also include McGee Air Services (McGee), a ground services subsidiary of Alaska, and other immaterial business units. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information. Consistent with these requirements, this Form 10-Q does not include all the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements. It should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. In the opinion of management, all adjustments have been made that are necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2024 and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. Certain rows, columns, figures, or percentages may not recalculate due to rounding. In preparing these statements, the Company is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses, including impairment charges. Due to seasonal variations in the demand for air travel, the volatility of aircraft fuel prices, changes in global economic conditions, changes in the competitive environment, and other factors, operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the entire year. Flight 1282 and Boeing 737-9 MAX Grounding As a result of the Flight 1282 accident and the subsequent grounding of Boeing 737-9 MAX (B737-9) aircraft, Air Group's operation and results were significantly impacted. The Company received compensation from Boeing to address the financial damages incurred as a result of the grounding. As part of this compensation, Boeing paid Air Group $162 million in cash during the first quarter. Subsequent to quarter end, Boeing issued Air Group $61 million in supplier credit memos to be used on future Boeing purchases. Compensation received under the agreement is accounted for as a reduction in cost basis of certain B737-9 aircraft. Proceeds received as of March 31, 2024 are reflected within Aircraft and other flight equipment or Deposits for future flight equipment within the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
