Investment in Equity Securities 
Equity Method Investments
Investments in which we can exercise significant influence are accounted for using the equity method in accordance with Topic 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures of the FASB Codification. The carrying amount of our equity method investments was $37 million and $38 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and is included within other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. We did not record any material gains or losses on these investments during the three months ended March 31, 2023. We recognized a gain of $3 million on one of our equity method investments related to its issuance of additional shares upon the closing of a subsequent financing round in other income on our consolidated statement of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
We partnered with JMP to finance, develop, and operate JFK Terminal 6. In exchange of this partnership, we committed a letter of credit as discussed further in Note 6. We exercise significant influence over this transaction, which is accounted for under the equity method.
Other Investments
Our equity investment securities include investments in common stocks of publicly traded companies which are stated at fair value. The carrying amount of our equity investment securities, which are recorded within investment securities in the current asset section of our consolidated balance sheet, was $11 million and $8 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We recognized a net unrealized gain of $3 million on these securities in other income on our consolidated statement of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and an unrealized loss of $2 million in other income on our consolidated statement of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
JBV has equity investments in emerging companies which do not have readily determinable fair values. In accordance with Topic 321, Investments - Equity Securities of the FASB Codification, we account for these investments using a measurement alternative that allows entities to measure these investments at cost, less any impairment, adjusted for changes from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identifiable or similar investments of the same issuer. The carrying amount of these investments, which is included within other assets on our consolidated balance sheet, was $87 million and $83 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We did not record any material gains or losses on these investments during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
We have an approximate 10% ownership interest in the TWA Flight Center Hotel at JFK, which is also accounted for under the measurement alternative described above, and is recorded in the other assets section of the consolidated balance sheet. The carrying amount of this investment was $14 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
