7.1 Accounting policies
These are measured based on the invoiced amount, net of expected losses on receivables, and approximate the fair value given their short-term nature. Considering the requirements of IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments, the allowance for expected losses on receivables is now measured by applying the simplified approach, through the use of historical data, projecting the expected loss over the life of the contract, by segmenting the receivables portfolio into groups that have the same pattern of collection and according to the respective maturities. Additionally, for certain cases, the Company carries out individual analyses to assess the risks of collection of the receivables and establish provision, if necessary.

In Brazil, card receivables mainly come from flights that have already taken place and are not exposed to credit risk of the cardholder. Therefore, these receivables can easily be converted to cash when needed, through the discounting of these receivables with the card operators.
As of December 31, 2021, reclassifications of R$105,277 were made to the line item “Other non-current assets” related to reimbursement receivable from the maintenance reserve of a lessor that entered court-supervised reorganization. The Company has past-due lease liabilities with such lessor in the amount of R$205,978, therefore, there is no risk of realization of such receivable. No provision for loss was established as of December 31, 2021.
