The ATSA with Amazon consists of three main components of consideration: a fixed amount is received each month per aircraft, a fixed amount is received each month per flight, and an amount per block hour is received each month. The ATSA contains a Service Level Agreement ("SLA") which provides for penalties for certain delays and cancellations. The SLA can result in a bonus or penalty for each month depending on the Company's performance. Each reporting period, the Company updates its estimate of variable consideration over the contract term and treats the adjustment as an adjustment to the total transaction price. When updating the estimate, the Company considers whether there are any changes in expected usage, performance-based bonuses or penalties, and changes in reimbursable costs. The transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling price.
In connection with the ATSA, Sun Country issued warrants to Amazon which allowed for the purchase of Sun Country's common stock. On the Sun Country acquisition date, all of these warrants vested pursuant to the warrant agreement and were exercised on a net settlement basis into Sun Country shares, for which the Company paid merger consideration to Amazon. In connection with these warrants, the Company recorded a contract asset in the opening post-acquisition balance sheet.

Changes in estimates are accounted for on a prospective basis. As of June September 30, 2026, all maintenance deposits recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as of June September 30, 2026, which include $ 37.6 38.2 million of short term short-term deposits and $ 15.5 18.3 million of noncurrent deposits included in deposits and other assets, are estimated to be recoverable either through reimbursable maintenance events or through application towards the purchase of the aircraft.
