    a) Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, was Ps.496,291, Ps.496,253 and Ps.425,439, respectively. 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 14 A320CEO and 30 A320NEO.

     

    On August 16, 2013, the Company entered into certain agreements with IAE and United Technologies Corporation Pratt & Whitney Division (“P&W”), which included the purchase of the engines for 14 A320CEO and 30 A320NEO respectively, to be delivered between 2014 and 2020. 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 2020. 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.

     

    As part of the total support agreement with P&W, the Company received credit notes 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, 2017, the Company amortized a corresponding benefit from these credit notes of Ps.1,219, which is recognized as an offset to maintenance expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

     

    In December 2017, the Company amended the agreement with Airbus to reschedule the delivery of 29 aircrafts between 2018 and 2021.

     

    Additionally, during December 2017, the Company amended the agreement with Airbus for the purchase of 80 aircraft to be delivered from 2022 to 2026. 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.

     

    During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the amounts paid for aircraft and spare engine pre-delivery payments were of Ps.1,707,805 (US$90.0 million), and Ps.1,345,081 (US$82.7 million), respectively.

     

    The current purchase agreement with Airbus requires the Company to accept delivery of 109 Airbus A320 family aircraft during nine years (from January 2018 to November 2026). The agreement provides for the addition of 109 A320NEO to its fleet as follows: four in 2018, seven in 2019, 12 in 2020, six in 2021, 13 in 2022, eighteen in 2023, nine in 2024, fifteen in 2025 and twenty-five in 2026.

     

    Commitments to acquisitions of property and equipment are disclosed in Note 23.

     

    c) On August 27, 2012, the Company entered into a total support agreement with Lufthansa Technik AG (“LHT”) for a five year term. This agreement includes a total component support agreement (power-by-the hour) and guarantees the availability of aircraft components for the Company’s fleet when they are required. The cost of the total component support agreement is recognized as maintenance expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.

     

    Additionally, the total support agreement included a sale and leaseback agreement of certain components. As part of the original total support agreement with LHT, the Company received credit notes of Ps.46,461 (US$3.5 million), which were amortized on a straight line basis, during the term of the agreement. As of December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company amortized a corresponding benefit from these credit notes of Ps.6,580, Ps.9,292 and Ps.9,292, respectively, which is recognized as an offset to maintenance expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

     

    During December 2016, the Company entered into a new total support agreement with Lufthansa for 66 months, with an effective date on July 1, 2017. This agreement includes similar terms and conditions as the original agreement.

     

    As part of the new 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, 2017, the Company amortized a corresponding benefit from these credit notes of Ps.1,961, which is recognized as an offset to maintenance expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

     

    d) On October 12, 2016 and December 12, 2016, the Company acquired two aircraft spare engines, which were accounted for at cost for a total amount of Ps.323,025. The assets contain two major components which are assumed to have different useful lives, the limited life parts (LLPs) have an estimated useful life of 12 years, and the rest of the aircraft engine has an estimated useful life of 25 years. The Company had identified the major components as separate parts at their respective cost. These major components of the spare engines are presented as part of the spare aircraft engines and depreciated over their useful life.
