1.     We note that you report having $8.9 billion in aircraft and engine
purchase commitments
       as of December 31, 2018, although in the second paragraph on page 50,
and in financial
       statement Note 27 on page F-65, you indicate this amount is based on
aircraft list prices,
       rather than the specific terms of your agreements.

       The disclosures you provide under Item 5.F of Form 20-F should reflect
the amounts you
       are required and expect to pay under your purchase obligations, and
should include details
       of any provisions that are necessary to understand any material
uncertainty or variability
       in the timing and amounts of the specified obligations.

       The disclosures that you provide in your financial statements should

disclosures conform with
         these requirements. Tell us the amounts of aircraft and engine

       In closing, we remind you that the company and its management are
responsible for the
accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review,
comments, action or
absence of action by the staff.
