7. Lease Obligations

Air Wisconsin has operating leases with terms greater than twelve months for training simulators and facility space including office space and maintenance facilities. The remaining lease terms for training simulators and facility space vary from approximately 9 months to 12 years. For leases with durations longer than 12 months, the Company recorded the related operating lease

right-of-use

asset and operating lease liability at the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. The Company used Air Wisconsin’s incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease conception. Air Wisconsin’s operating leases with lease rates that are variable based on operating costs, use of the facilities or other variable factors are excluded from the Company’s

right-of-use

assets and operating lease liabilities in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance.

Leasehold improvements are capitalized at cost and amortized over the lesser of their expected useful life or the lease term.

Certain leases contain an option to extend or terminate the lease agreement. The Company evaluates each option prior to its expiration and may or may not exercise such option depending on conditions present at the time. At the inception of the lease, if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise an option to extend or terminate a lease, the Company considers the option in determining the classification and measurement of the lease. The Company expects that in the normal course of business operating leases that expire will be renewed or replaced by other leases.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the

Company’s right-of-use assets

were $14,789 and $18,679, respectively, current maturities of operating lease liabilities were $5,078 and $5,150, respectively, and noncurrent lease liabilities were $7,100 and $10,877, respectively.
