NOTE 15. GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise whose separate financial information is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision
maker and used in resource allocation and performance assessments.
We are managed as a single business unit that provides air transportation for passengers and cargo. This allows us to benefit from an integrated revenue
pricing and route network. Our flight equipment forms one fleet, which is deployed through a single route scheduling system. When making resource
allocation decisions, our chief operating decision maker evaluates flight profitability data, which considers aircraft type and route economics, but gives no
weight to the financial impact of the resource allocation decision on an individual carrier basis. Our objective in making resource allocation decisions is to
optimize our consolidated financial results.
Operating revenue is assigned to a specific geographic region based on the origin, flight path and destination of each flight segment. Our operating revenue
by geographic region is summarized in the following table:
Year Ended December 31,
(in millions) 2010 2009 2008
Domestic $ 20,744 $ 19,043 $ 14,937
Atlantic 5,931 4,970 5,149
Pacific 3,283 2,485 867
Latin America 1,797 1,565 1,744
Total $ 31,755 $ 28,063 $ 22,697
Our tangible assets consist primarily of flight equipment, which is mobile across geographic markets. Accordingly, assets are not allocated to specific
geographic regions.
