Lease Commitments

At September 30, 2014, the Company had lease contracts for 57 aircraft, which have remaining noncancelable lease terms ranging from 2015 to 2022. Of these aircraft, 14 are non-operating (i.e. not in the Company's fleet) and subleased to third-party carriers. The majority of airport and terminal facilities are also leased. Rent expense for aircraft and facility leases was $74 million and $75 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $215 million and $228 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Aircraft Commitments

As of September 30, 2014, the Company is committed to purchasing 64 B737 aircraft (27 737-900ER aircraft and 37 737 MAX aircraft) and one Q400 aircraft, with deliveries in 2014 through 2022. In addition, the Company has options to purchase 58 additional B737 aircraft and seven Q400 aircraft.

Subsequent to September 30, 2014. the Company exercised 10 options for 737-900ER aircraft with deliveries in 2016 and 2017.

Capacity Purchase Agreements (CPAs)

At September 30, 2014, Alaska had CPAs with three carriers, including the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Horizon. Horizon sells 100% of its capacity to Alaska under a CPA, which is eliminated upon consolidation. In addition, Alaska has CPAs with SkyWest Airlines, Inc. (SkyWest) to fly certain routes and Peninsula Airways, Inc. (PenAir) to fly one route in the state of Alaska. Under these agreements, Alaska pays the third-party carriers an amount which is based on a determination of their cost of operating those flights and other factors. The costs paid by Alaska to Horizon are based on similar data and are intended to approximate market rates for those services. Future payments (excluding those due to Horizon) are based on contractually required minimum levels of flying by the third-party carriers, which could differ materially due to variable payments based on actual levels of flying and certain costs associated with operating flights, such as fuel.

Engine Maintenance

The Company has a power-by-the-hour (PBH) maintenance agreement for some of the engines equipped on 737-700 and 737-900 aircraft. This agreement transfers risk to a third-party service provider and fixes the amount the Company pays per flight hour in exchange for maintenance and repairs under a predefined maintenance program. Future payments are based on minimum flight hours.
