Rentals on leased aircra increased $134 million (+23.6 per cent) mainly due to more aircra on lease.
Depreciation declined $48 million (-3.6 per cent) largely from the sale of A340-500 aircra, and revision of the estimated useful lives of
certain aircra types to better reflect the economic useful lives, partially oset by higher depreciation for overhauls.
