Loyalty Program Liability
Frequent flyer miles and loyalty points create significant deferred revenue liabilities that must be measured at standalone selling price and adjusted with each program change. The accounting is complex and audit-sensitive.
Fuel Hedging
Airlines and shipping companies use fuel hedges extensively. ASC 815 hedge accounting designation, effectiveness testing, and mark-to-market accounting create one of the most complex accounting areas in the industry.
