The airline certificates have an indefinite life and therefore are not amortized. The Company amortizes finite-lived intangibles assets, including customer relationship and STC intangibles, over 4 to 7 years.
Stock warrants issued to a lessee (see Note B) as an incentive are recorded as a lease incentive asset using their fair value at the time that the lessee has met its performance obligation and amortized against revenues over the duration of related aircraft leases. The Company's lease incentive granted to the lessee was as follows (in thousands):

The lease incentive began to amortize in April 2016, with the commencement of certain aircraft leases over the duration of the related leases.
In January 2014, the Company acquired a 25 percent equity interest in West Atlantic AB of Gothenburg, Sweden ("West") and in December 2017, the Company entered into a preferred equity instrument. West, through its two airlines, Atlantic Airlines Ltd. and West Air Sweden AB, operates a fleet of aircraft on behalf of European regional mail carriers and express logistics providers. The airlines operate a combined fleet of British Aerospace ATPs, Bombardier CRJ-200-PFs, and Boeing 767 and 737 aircraft. West leases three Boeing 767 aircraft and two Boeing 737 from the Company. The Company’s carrying value of West was $7.7 million and $7.1 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, including $5.5 million of excess purchase price over the Company's fair value of West's net assets in January of 2014. The Company's equity interest and the preferred equity instrument are reflected in “Other Assets” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
On August 3, 2017 the Company entered into a joint-venture agreement with Precision Aircraft Solutions, LLC, to develop a passenger-to-freighter conversion program for Airbus A321-200 aircraft. The Company anticipates approval of a supplemental type certificate from the FAA in 2019. The Company expects to make contributions equal to its 49% ownership percentage of the program's total costs over the next two years. The Company accounts for its investment in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting, in which the carrying value of the investment is reduced for the Company's share of the joint ventures operating losses. The carrying value of the joint venture, reflected in “Other Assets” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, was $5.8 million and $5.6 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
