In May 2016, we entered into an agreement to sell 25 Embraer E190 and E175 aircraft to Nordic Aviation Capital A/S ("NAC"). During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, we completed sales of one E175 aircraft and three E190 aircraft. As of September 30, 2016, we have completed the sale of eight Embraer aircraft to NAC. We expect to complete the sales of the remaining 17 Embraer aircraft over the next two quarters.

 

In December 2015, we entered into an agreement to sell our fleet of 25 ATR turboprop aircraft, comprised of 20 delivered aircraft and five undelivered aircraft. During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, we completed sales of two ATR aircraft. As of September 30, 2016, we have completed the sale of 20 ATR aircraft to NAC. We expect to complete the sale of our existing ATR fleet and the remaining three ATR aircraft from our order book over the next quarter at delivery.

 

The remaining two delivered ATR aircraft and 17 Embraer aircraft, with a carrying value of $460.3 million, were held for sale and included in flight equipment subject to operating leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2016. We cease recognition of depreciation expense once an aircraft is classified as held for sale.
