Depreciation charges for the year are recognized as a component of operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. b) In October 2005 and December 2006, the Company entered into purchase agreements with Airbus and International Aero Engines AG (“IAE”) for the purchase of aircraft and engines, respectively. Under such agreements and prior to the delivery of each aircraft and engine, the Company agreed to make pre-delivery payments, which were calculated based on the reference price of each aircraft and engine, and following a formula established for such purpose in the agreements. In 2011, the Company amended the agreement with Airbus for the purchase of 44 A320 family aircraft to be delivered from 2015 to 2020.

The new order includes 46 A320NEO and 34 A321NEO. Under such agreement and prior to the delivery of each aircraft, the Company agreed to make pre-delivery payments, which shall be calculated based on the reference price of each aircraft, and following a formula established for such purpose in the agreement. In November 2018, the Company amended the agreement with Airbus to reschedule the remaining 26 fleet deliveries between 2019 and 2022. Also, in this amendment Volaris used its rights on the Airbus Purchase Agreement to convert six A320NEO into A321NEO. In July 2020, we amended the agreement with Airbus to reschedule the 80 aircraft deliveries between 2023 and 2028.

This agreement also included the purchase of one spare engine for the A320CEO fleet (which was received during the fourth quarter of 2016) and six spare engines for the A320NEO fleet to be received from 2017 to 2022. In November 2015, the Company amended the agreement with the engine supplier to provide major maintenance services for the engines of sixteen aircrafts (10 A320NEO and 6 A321NEO). This agreement also includes the purchase of three spare engines, two of them for the A320NEO fleet, and one for the A321NEO fleet. The Company received credit notes from P&W in December 2017 of Ps.58,530 (US$3.06 million), which are being amortized on a straight-line basis, prospectively during the term of the agreement. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, the Company amortized a corresponding benefit from these credit notes of Ps.4,878 and Ps.4,878, respectively, which is recognized as an offset to maintenance expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the amounts paid for aircraft and spare engine pre-delivery payments were of Ps.2,185,902 (US$102.7 million) and Ps.1,412,790 (US$75.0 million), respectively. The current purchase agreement with Airbus requires the Company to accept delivery of 96 Airbus A320 family aircraft during the following eight years (from January 2021 to October 2028). The agreement provides for the addition of 96 Aircraft to its fleet as follows: four in 2021, twelve in 2022, three in 2023, thirteen in 2024, fifteen in 2025, twenty-five in 2026, eleven in 2027 and thirteen in 2028. Commitments to acquisitions of property and equipment are disclosed in Note 23. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 the Company entered into aircraft and spare engines sale and leaseback transactions, resulting in a gain of Ps.710,522, Ps.284,759 and Ps.609,168, respectively, that was recorded under the caption other operating income in the consolidated statement of operations, only the amount of gains that relates to the rights transferred to the buyer-lessor. The rest of the gains are amortized under the lease term (Note 20). d) During December 2017, the Company entered into an updated total support agreement with Lufthansa for 66 months, with an effective date on July 1, 2018. This agreement includes similar terms and conditions as the original agreement. As part of this agreement, the Company received credit notes of Ps.28,110 (US$1.5 million), which are being amortized on a straight-line basis, prospectively during the term of the agreement. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company amortized a corresponding benefit from these credit notes of Ps.5,230 , Ps.5,230 and Ps.7,191, respectively, recognized as an offset to maintenance expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. e) On September 5, 2019, the Company acquired one previously leased A319 aircraft from the lessor, which was accounted for a cost for a total amount of Ps.392,076 (US$19,600). This transaction did not generate any gain or loses in our consolidated statements of operations. The Company identified the major components as separate parts at their respective cost. These major components of the aircraft are presented as part of the aircraft and depreciated over their useful life. During the month of December 2019, the Company sold the recently acquired aircraft engines in a sale and lease back transaction. As of December 31, 2020, the carry amount of the remaining owned aircraft and the depreciation was Ps.52,984 and Ps.5,946, respectively.
