Contracted Services
Contracted services increased $21 million, or 11%, primarily due to more capacity purchase flying with
SkyWest and higher rates with PenAir. Additionally, we experienced higher passenger and ramp handling
costs, and other services as a result of an increase in the number of flights to airports where outside
vendors are used.
Selling Expenses
Selling expenses increased by $11 million, or 6%, compared to 2012 as a result of higher commissions
with credit cards and interline commissions related to international routes.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses increased $30 million, or 13%, compared to 2012. The increase is driven by
a variety of factors such as higher professional fees, IT costs, losses on the disposal of assets,
property taxes, and new uniforms.
Consolidated Nonoperating Income (Expense)
Net nonoperating expense increased $4 million from 2012. This is due to the overhaul and repair of
three aircraft that were previously subleased to another carrier. Partially offsetting the sublease loss
was a gain on the sale of equity securities.
