  • Who Is Most Impacted by the New Lease Accounting Standards?
    Who is Most Impacted by the New Lease Accounting Standards? An Analysis of the Fortune 500’s Leasing Obligations What Do Corporations Lease? Many companies lease (rather than buy) much of the equipment and real estate they use to run their business. Many of the office buildings, warehouses, retail stores or manufacturing plants companies run their operations from are leased. Many of the forklifts, trucks, computers and data center equipment companies use to run their business is leased. Leasing has many benefits. Cash flow is one. Instead of outlaying $300,000 to buy five trucks today you can make a series of payments over the next four years to lease them. You can then deploy the cash you saved towards other investments that appreciate in value. Also, regular replacement of older technology with the latest and greatest technology increases productivity and profitability. Instead of buying a server to use in your data center for five years, you can lease the machines and get a new replacement every three years. If you can return the equipment on time, you are effectively outsourcing the monetization of the residual value in the equipment to an expert third-party, the leasing company. Another benefit of leasing is the accounting, specifically the way the leases are reported on financial statements such as annual reports (10-Ks). Today, under the current ASC 840 standard, leases are classified as capital leases or operating leases. Capital leases are reported on the balance sheet. Operating leases are disclosed in the footnotes of your financial statements as “off balance sheet” operating expenses and excluded from important financial ratios such as Return on Assets that investors use to judge a company’s performance.

  • Jet Fuel: from Well to Wing
    Jet Fuel: From Well to Wing JANUARY 2018 Abstract Airlines for America (A4A) is the nation’s oldest and largest U.S. airline industry trade association. Its members1 and their affiliates account for more than 70 percent of the passenger and cargo traffic carried by U.S. airlines. According to the Energy Information Administration, U.S.-based jet fuel demand averaged 1.6 million barrels per day in 2016. Generally, fuel is supplied to airports through a combination of interstate multiproduct pipelines, third-party and off-airport terminals, and dedicated local pipelines. The last few years have continued to demonstrate the fragility of this complex system and the threat it poses to air-service continuity. The current interstate refined products pipeline system, constructed many decades ago, is both capacity-constrained and vulnerable to disruptions that typically require a patchwork of costly, inadequate fixes. New shippers have difficulty obtaining line space and long-established shippers have difficulty shipping all of their requirements. It is likely that demand will continue to outpace the capacity of our outdated distribution system for liquid fuels. Given the increasing demand to transport liquid fuels, it is imperative that we take steps to overcome existing bottlenecks and prevent future ones. These fuels are essential to aviation, trucking and rail, among others, which help power our twenty- first century economy. As shippers and consumers of significant quantities of refined products on pipelines throughout the country, airlines and other users of liquid fuels have a substantial interest in addressing the nationwide deficiency in pipeline investment. Surely, expedited permitting for fuel distribution-related infrastructure projects could help pave the way to upgrade existing pipeline assets and expand throughput capacity into key markets.

    Delta Air Lines: A Financial Analysis and Corresponding Recommendations for Delta Air Lines, Inc. by Emily Marie Bush A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of Mississippi in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College. Oxford May 2016 Approved by: ___________________________________ Advisor: Professor Victoria Dickinson © 2016 Emily Bush ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Delta Air Lines: A Financial Analysis and Corresponding Recommendations for Delta Air Lines, Inc. This alternative thesis project is a financial analysis of Delta Air Lines, Inc. Utilizing the 10-K Financial Statements from 2009 to 2013, along with some correlating outside resources, a full business and financial analysis was completed. Starting with the business background and operations, and then working into analysis of the Financial Statements, corresponding recommendations were created for tax, audit and advisory planning strategies.. The bulk of the analysis utilized the 10-K data provided by the SEC, only using minimal other resources for background research. The research found that since filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy Delta Air Lines has improved substantially. Delta’s largest issues to overcome in the coming years are finding ways to continue growing while keeping costs low. The company has already had to file for bankruptcy once in the last decade; they do not need a repeat. Looking at the current financials, Delta is on the right track for success but needs to consider implementing strong controls for property, plant, equipment, and inventory. The company also needs to ensure that taxes remain low, seeing that right now they have a large tax benefit due to carry forward losses and other tax credits.

  • American Airlines Bankruptcy
    The American Airlines Bankruptcy Bankruptcy and Reorganization Connor Lynagh Darryl Pinkus Andrew Ralph Michael Sutcliffe 12/12/2013 Introduction The AMR Corporation, parent company of American Airlines, filed for Chapter 11 on November 29th, 2011 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. While the actual day of the filing surprised the financial markets, the bankruptcy itself was an expected event given the turmoil the airline industry had endured. On December 9th, 2013, AMR Corp exited bankruptcy by merging with US Airways and became American Airlines Group Inc. The time in bankruptcy totaled two years and ten days which is above the average duration for a company in bankruptcy, and it was arguably the most dramatic bankruptcy in 2013. By the time AMR Corp filed a plan of reorganization in April 2013, the company, along with its creditors and labor unions, had agreed to a merger with US Airways. Despite AMR originally wanting to exit bankruptcy without a merger, the merger was estimated to create synergies of around $7 billion, a number that couldn’t be ignored by AMR’s management. Judge Sean Lane, the bankruptcy judge overseeing the AMR proceedings, approved the disclosure statement in June 2013, allowing AMR to solicit votes from its creditors. The vote in favor of the plan of reorganization was an overwhelming success, but in early August 2013, the Justice Department filed an antitrust lawsuit against the merger. Judge Lane approved the plan of reorganization, but the implementation of the reorganization was dependent on the DC court’s ruling.

    Nicholas E. Calio President and CEO June 21, 2021 The Honorable Steve Dickson Administrator Federal Aviation Administration 800 Independence Avenue, SW Washington, D.C. 20591 Dear Administrator Dickson: On behalf of A4A’s member carriers,1 I want to thank you for your leadership and perseverance in sending a clear and consistent message regarding the recent uptick in unruly passenger behavior on U.S. airlines. At every opportunity, you have communicated the Administration’s “zero tolerance” policy for travelers who do not follow crewmember instructions and who do not abide by federal law. You have the full support of A4A and our members. While the vast majority of passengers comply with federal rules and crewmember instruction, some have not received the FAA’s “zero tolerance” message despite all of your efforts. Unfortunately, we continue to see onboard behavior deteriorating into heinous acts, including assaults, threats and intimidation of crewmembers that directly interfere with the performance of crewmember duties and jeopardize the safety and security of everyone onboard the aircraft. Despite efforts of the FAA and airlines—including lifetime bans and suspension of onboard alcohol service—the incidents continue and appear to be intensifying. This behavior cannot— and will not—be tolerated. With the goal of putting an end to this unruly behavior, we are asking our federal partners to 1) prosecute violators to the fullest extent of the law and 2) increase the public awareness of the very real ramifications, including jail time and significant financial penalties. Prosecutions We respectfully request that the FAA refer abhorrent cases to the Department of Justice (DOJ) so that the federal government may fully, swiftly and publicly prosecute criminal acts to the fullest extent of the law and deter this dangerous and concerning behavior.
