Disclosure of security deposits and maintenance reserves [Abstract]  
Security deposits and maintenance reserves DEPOSITS
11.1Accounting policies
11.1.1Security deposits
Security deposits are represented by amounts deposited by the Company, mostly to the lessors of aircraft and engines, as guarantee for the fulfillment of the lease contract. Security deposits do not bear interest and are reimbursable at the end of the contracts. Judicial deposits are also classified in this group.
11.1.2Maintenance reserves
Certain master lease agreements provide for the payment of aircraft and engine maintenance reserves made to the lessors to be held as collateral for the performance of major maintenance activities, and therefore these deposits are reimbursable upon completion of the maintenance event in an amount equal to or less than:
the amount of the maintenance reserve held by the lessor associated with the specific maintenance event; or
the costs related to the specific maintenance event.
Substantially all of these maintenance reserve payments are calculated based on an aircraft utilization measure, such as flight hours or cycles.
As of the reporting date, we assess whether the maintenance reserve deposits required by the master lease agreements are expected to be recovered based on the expected future usage of the aircraft and timing of future maintenance events. A provision for loss is recognized for deposits that are not likely to be recovered.
Aircraft and engine maintenance reserves are classified as current or non-current depending on the dates on which the amounts are expected to be recovered.
