Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2024-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-12-31).


Cash and Cash Equivalents
The proportion of cash and cash equivalents as a percentage of total assets showed an initial increase from 18.92% in 2020 to a peak of 26.82% in 2021. This was followed by a sharp decline to 10.64% in 2022, further decreasing to 8.52% in 2023 before a slight recovery to 11.84% in 2024. This trend indicates a reduction in readily available liquid assets after 2021, with some replenishment in the most recent year.
Short-Term Investments
Short-term investments experienced considerable volatility. Initially low at 0.7% in 2020, the figure decreased further to 0.18% in 2021. However, there was a significant increase to 13.73% in 2022 and a slight decrease thereafter to 11.72% in 2023, then down to 7.7% in 2024. This pattern suggests strategic shifts in short-term investment holdings, with a notable buildup starting in 2022 followed by a gradual reduction.
Receivables, Net
Receivables as a percentage of total assets showed a steady but moderate increase across the years, rising from 2.17% in 2020 to 2.92% in 2024. This reflects a consistent growth in accounts receivable relative to total assets.
Aircraft Fuel, Spare Parts and Supplies, Net
This asset category demonstrated relative stability with minor fluctuations, increasing from 1.57% in 2020 to a peak of 2.2% in 2023, then slightly decreasing to 2.12% in 2024. The increase may indicate higher inventory levels or operational requirements over time.
Prepaid Expenses and Other
The percentage of prepaid expenses and other current assets showed a downward trend, moving from 1.49% in 2020 to a low of 0.9% in 2023, followed by a negligible increase to 0.91% in 2024. This suggests a decline in prepaid or other short-term assets relative to the total asset base.
Current Assets
Current assets as a proportion of total assets increased from 24.85% in 2020 to a peak of 32.03% in 2021, followed by a gradual decline to 29.78% in 2022, then further down to 26% in 2023 and 25.49% in 2024. This trend indicates an initially strengthened current asset position that shifted towards a reduced share in subsequent years.
Operating Property and Equipment, Net
This significant asset category declined from 52.84% in 2020 to 47.05% in 2021, but then increased year-over-year to reach 57.92% in 2024. The decrease in 2021 may be due to disposals or impairments, with subsequent increases indicating capitalization or acquisition of property and equipment in later years.
Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets
The right-of-use assets showed a consistent decline from 7.62% in 2020 to 5.15% in 2024, indicating a reduced reliance on leased assets, possibly reflecting changes in leasing strategy or asset reclassification.
Goodwill
Goodwill displayed a gradual decrease from 7.6% in 2020 to 6.11% in 2024, suggesting potential impairment or divestiture of goodwill-containing businesses over the period.
Intangible Assets, Net
Intangible assets also declined steadily from 4.77% in 2020 to 3.62% in 2024, implying amortization or disposal of intangible asset holdings.
Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes increased from 0.22% in 2020 to 0.97% in 2021, then sharply decreased to 0.14% in 2022, and data is unavailable for subsequent years. This fluctuation suggests significant changes in tax timing differences or valuation allowance adjustments during this period.
Investments in Affiliates and Other, Net
Investments in affiliates and other assets increased slightly from 2.1% in 2020 to 2.4% in 2021, then decreased gradually to 1.71% in 2024. This decline may reflect disposals or valuation changes in these investments.
Noncurrent Assets
The share of noncurrent assets decreased from 75.15% in 2020 to 67.97% in 2021, subsequently increasing steadily year-over-year to reach 74.51% in 2024. This indicates an initial reduction in long-term asset base that was largely reversed in the following years, aligning with trends observed in property and equipment.
