LEASES LEASES
Leases primarily pertain to certain controlled aircraft, corporate headquarters, and operational facilities, including aircraft hangars, which are primarily accounted for as operating leases. We sublease the corporate headquarters from a third party and sublease the aircraft hangar at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport from Delta Air Lines, Inc. (“Delta”).
We have certain variable lease agreements with aircraft owners that contain payment terms based on an hourly lease rate multiplied by the number of flight hours during a month. Variable lease payments were $3.6 million and $12.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $3.2 million and $12.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.
