INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:

1 billion non-cash accounting charge to write down the value of certain aircraft and related long-lived assets to their estimated fair value and a charge of approximately $55 million of a total $70 million expected for severance-related costs resulting from the Company’s system-wide capacity reductions in the fourth quarter of this year.
The company has obtained $720 million in new financing through a number of transactions, including the sale of certain aircraft that will remain in the company’s fleet through a lease agreement, and through newly-issued mortgage debt that is secured by aircraft.
As a result, the company paid $838 million more for fuel in the second quarter of 2008 than it would have paid at prevailing prices from the prior-year period.
