Airline Accounting

Airlines have the most complex accounting: Air Traffic Liability, aircraft leases, engine overhaul provision, fuel hedging, and frequent flyer program liability. Arunika Consulting helps airlines prepare compliant books.

What usually goes wrong

  • ATL

    Tickets sold but not flown โ€” unearned revenue until passenger flies.

  • Aircraft Lease

    Majority of fleet leased โ€” operating vs finance classification.

  • Engine Overhaul

    $3-8M per engine every 5-8 years โ€” must be reserved.
