18.8) Leasing
18.8.1) As lessor
The leasing of terminal space made by the Company in its capacity as lessor at the terminals is documented by contracts with either fixed income or monthly fees based on the higher amount of a minimum monthly fee or a percentage of the lessee’s monthly revenue.
Since the leased assets are part of the concession assets and thus do not belong to the Company, there is no transfer of the risks and rewards of ownership and therefore are classified as operating leases.
Revenues from operating leases are recognized as non-aeronautical revenues on a straight line basis over the lease term.
18.8.2) As lessee
The leases in which a significant portion of the risk and rewards related to ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. The payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the statement of income based on the straight-line method over the lease term.
18.8.3) Financial leases
Property, plant and equipment leases in which Airplan holds substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as financial leases. Financial leases are capitalized at the beginning of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Each financial lease payment is allocated between the liability and the financial costs. Financial lease obligations, net of the financial burden, are presented as debts (financial obligations), current or non-current, depending on whether or not payment maturities are below a 12-month period. Financial costs are charged to income for the year over the lease period so as to produce a periodic constant interest rate on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. Property, plant and equipment acquired under financial leases are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term.
