(8) Assets Held for Sale

In 2022, the Company committed to a formal plan to sell 14 CRJ700 aircraft and determined the aircraft met the criteria to be classified as assets held for sale. In connection with the classification of these assets as held for sale, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $51.4 million, which is included in “Other operating expenses” on the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income and in the SkyWest Leasing segment for the year ended December 31, 2022.

During 2023, the Company recorded a $2.3 million loss related to changes in the fair value of the 14 aircraft held for sale which is included in “Other operating expenses” on the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income and in the SkyWest Leasing segment for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company presented the $54.3 million of assets held for sale at the lower of their current carrying value or their fair market value less costs to sell and included the amount in “Other current assets” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The fair values were based upon observable and unobservable inputs, including a third-party valuation, market trends and condition of the airframes and engines. The assumptions used to determine the fair value of the assets held for sale are subject to inherent uncertainty and could produce a wide range of outcomes which the Company will continue to monitor in future periods as new information becomes available. Prior to the ultimate sale of the assets, subsequent changes in the estimate of the fair value of the assets held for sale will be recorded as a gain or loss with a corresponding adjustment to the assets’ carrying value.
