Notes to the Financial Statements
66 ANNUAL REPORT 2008
Provided it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably, revenue is recognised in profit or loss as follows:
(i)
Passenger, cargo and mail revenues
Passenger, cargo and mail revenues are recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable when the transportation is provided. Ticket sales for transportation not yet provided are included in current liabilities as sales in advance of carriage. Revenues from airline-related business are recognised when services are rendered. Revenue is stated net of sales tax.
(ii)
Frequent flyer revenue
The Group maintains two frequent flyer award programmes, namely, the China Southern Airlines Sky Pearl Club and the Egrets Mileage Plus, which provide travel and other awards to members based on accumulated mileages.
Revenue received in relation to mileage earning flights is allocated, based on fair value, between the flight and mileages earned by members of the Group’s frequent flyer award programmes. The value attributed to the awarded mileages is deferred as a liability, within deferred revenue, until the mileages are ultimately utilised.
Revenue received from third parties for the issue of mileages under the frequent flyer award programmes is also deferred as a liability, within deferred revenue.
As members of the frequent flyer award programmes redeem mileages for an award, revenue is recorded in profit or loss. Revenue in relation to flight awards is recognised when the transportation is provided. Revenue is recognised at the point of redemption where non-flight rewards are selected.
The value attributed to mileages that are expected to expire is recognised as revenue, based on the number of mileages that have been redeemed relative to the total number expected to be redeemed.
(iii) Rental income receivable under operating leases is recognised in profit or loss in equal instalments over the periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the use of the leased asset. Lease incentives granted are recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the aggregate net lease payments receivables.
