Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS In determining fair value, there is a three-level hierarchy based on the reliability of the inputs used. Level 1 refers to fair values based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2 refers to fair values estimated using significant other observable inputs such as similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instrument in markets that are not active. Fair values for Level 2 instruments are determined using standard valuation models that incorporate inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets, interest rates, benchmark curves, credit ratings, and other observable inputs or market data. Level 3 refers to fair values estimated using significant unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and that are significant to the fair value of the assets. Fair values for Level 3 instruments are determined using future cash flows and discount rates, which include information obtained from third-party valuation sources and other market sources, including recent offers from potential buyers. Fair value of financial instruments measured on a recurring basis As of March 31, 2026, cost basis and fair value for marketable securities were $1.3 billion. Differences in cost basis and fair value of marketable securities are primarily a result of changes in interest rates and general market conditions. The Company does not believe any unrealized losses are the result of credit quality based on its evaluation of industry and duration exposure, credit ratings of the securities, liquidity profiles, and other observable information as of March 31, 2026.

Fair value of other financial instruments The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to determine the fair value of financial instruments that are not recognized at fair value as described below. Debt: The estimated fair value of fixed-rate Enhanced Equipment Trust Certificate (EETC) debt and certain variable rate debt is Level 2, while the estimated fair value of $721 million of certain variable-rate and fixed-rate debt, including Payroll Support Program (PSP) notes payable and Japanese Yen denominated debt, is classified as Level 3. Fixed-rate debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the estimated fair value of long-term fixed-rate debt:
(in millions) | March 31, 2026 |  | December 31, 2025
Fixed-rate debt | $ | 2,227 |  |  | $ | 2,761 |
Estimated fair value | $ | 2,207 |  |  | $ | 2,756 |
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis Certain assets and liabilities are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including property, plant and equipment, operating and finance lease assets, goodwill, and intangible assets. These assets are subject to fair valuation when there is evidence of impairment. No material impairments were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Equity method and other investments Air Group has made investments in funds and companies related to aviation innovation and sustainability. We account for investments under the equity method if we are able to exercise significant influence over the investee. We record our share of our equity method investees’ financial results within the non-operating expense section of the consolidated statements of operations. Investments in which we do not have significant influence are recorded at fair value or at cost, adjusted for any changes in price or impairments, if the fair value is not readily determinable. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the combined carrying value of these investments included in Other noncurrent assets in the consolidated balance sheets was $79 million and $74 million.
