Form 20-F for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2019
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Contractual Obligations, page 56
1.You disclose purchase obligations of 12.3 billion euros at March 31, 2019. In note (b) of
the contractual obligations table you disclose that the purchase obligations are based on a
non-discounted list price. The amount of the purchase obligations appears to be based on
the Basic Price per aircraft of $102.5 million disclosed in footnote 23, times the firm
deliveries of 135 planes under the 2014 Boeing Contract after factoring in the U.S. dollar
euro exchange rate. It appears that you did not use the specific pricing terms of your
aircraft purchase agreements with Boeing and that you have not disclosed your purchase
obligations for the firm deliveries of 29 planes under the Boeing 2013 Contract.
