The Company recognizes contract revenue when the service is provided under its capacity purchase agreements. Under the capacity purchase agreements, our airline partners generally pay for each departure, flight hour (measured from takeoff to landing, excluding taxi time) or block hour (measured from takeoff to landing, including taxi time) incurred, and an amount per aircraft in service each month with additional incentives based on flight completion and on-time performance. The major airline partners also directly pay for or reimburses the Company for certain direct expenses incurred under the capacity purchase agreement, such as fuel and airport landing fees. The Company’s performance obligation is met when each flight is completed and revenue is recognized and reflected in contract revenue. The directly reimbursed expenses, earned as flights are completed over the agreement term, are recognized and reflected in pass-through revenue. During the year ended September 30, 2020, the Company completed a significantly lower than normal number of flights due to the impact of COVID-19. Since the revenue recognition is based on the number of flights completed, the fixed amount of cash received exceeded the revenue recognized based on the number of flights completed during the quarter. Under US GAAP, the fixed monthly payments are recognized as revenue ratably based on completed flights over the contract term. The Company deferred $23.8 million of revenue in the year ended September 30, 2020. The current portion of $9.4 million of deferred revenue is recorded as a part of other accrued expenses and long-term portion of $14.4 million is recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet. This deferred revenue will be recognized when flights are completed over the remaining contract term. The deferred revenue balance as of September 30, 2020 represents our aggregate remaining performance obligations that will be recognized as revenue over the period in which the performance obligations are satisfied, and is expected to be recognized as revenue as follows (In thousands):

A portion of the Company's compensation under its capacity purchase agreements with American and United is designed to reimburse the Company for certain aircraft ownership costs. The Company has concluded that a component of its revenue under these agreements is deemed to be lease revenue, as such agreements identify the "right of use" of a specific type and number of aircraft over a stated period-of-time. The lease revenue associated with the Company's capacity purchase agreements is accounted for as an operating lease and is reflected as contract revenue on the Company's consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognized $208.9 million and $219.0 million of lease revenue for the year ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company has not separately stated aircraft rental income and aircraft rental expense in the consolidated statements of operations because the use of the aircraft is not a separate activity of the total service provided under our capacity purchase agreements.
