Commitments and Contingencies [Line Items]

Under all of our aircraft and engine purchase agreements, our total future commitments as of December 31, 2019 are expected to be as follows (approximately, in millions):



	2020		2021		2022		2023		2024		2025 and Thereafter		Total
Payments for aircraft commitments and certain engines ⁽¹⁾	$	1,629	$	750	$	1,599	$	1,543	$	2,574	$	4,855	$	12,950


⁽¹⁾	These amounts are net of purchase deposits currently held by the manufacturers. We have granted a security interest in certain of our purchase deposits with Boeing. Our purchase deposits held by all manufacturers totaled $1.7 billion as of December 31, 2019.

On March 13, 2019, a directive from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grounded all U.S.-registered Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. We currently have 76 Boeing 737 MAX Family aircraft on order and we have not taken delivery of any Boeing 737 MAX Family aircraft since the grounding. The extent of the delay to the scheduled deliveries of the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft is expected to be impacted by the length of time the FAA order remains in place, Boeing's production rate and the pace at which Boeing can deliver aircraft following the lifting of the FAA order, among other factors. Due to uncertainty surrounding the timing of delivery of certain aircraft, the amounts in the table represent our current best estimate, including with respect to the delivery of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft; however, the actual delivery schedule may differ from the table above, potentially materially.

The amounts in the table exclude 22 787-8 aircraft to be delivered in 2020 and 2021 for which Boeing has committed to provide sale-leaseback financing (in the form of operating leases). See Note 6 for information regarding this operating lease commitment.

Minimum Fixed Obligations under Capacity Purchase Agreements with Third-Party Regional Carriers
