Special Charges

The effects of COVID-19 triggered an impairment review as of March 31, 2020, and due to the uncertainty of our non-airline activity moving forward a non-cash impairment charge was recognized during the first quarter (see Note 12 for additional detail). The Company also identified expenses that were unique and specific to COVID-19. This includes salary expense, additional aircraft cleaning expense, and other various expenses. See below for a summary of charges by segment:
