Description

Until certain practical limitations and cost benefit considerations have been overcome, the incremental cost of providing free travel awards generally should be accrued when the award levels are achieved. Developmental costs related to preparation of operations of new routes should not be capitalized as previously permitted under the AICPA Industry Audit Guide, Audits of Airlines. The costs of acquiring take-off and landing slots are identifiable intangible assets that should be accounted for in conformity with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 17, Intangible Assets. The costs associated with airframe modifications that enhance the usefulness of the aircraft should be capitalized and depreciated over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the aircraft or the modifcations.
