We continually monitor our aircraft fleet utilization in light of current and projected volume levels, aviation fuel prices and other factors. Additionally, we monitor all other property, plant and equipment categories for any indicators that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. There were no material impairment charges to our property, plant and equipment for the three months ended September 30, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized impairment charges of $30 million due to the cancellation of certain facility automation and expansion projects. There were no material impairment charges for the corresponding periods of 2020.
