7.3    Segment reporting
The Company’s business activities are conducted as one operating segment – Air transportation (that includes cargo and mail revenue), the reporting results of which are regularly reviewed by management for purposes of analyzing its performance and making decisions about resource allocations. Information concerning operating revenue by geographic area for the period ended December 31 is as follows:
