intangible assets the company has recorded international slot and route authorities of $ 708 million and $ 736 million as of december 31 , 2010 and 2009 , respectively .
the company considers these assets indefinite life assets and as a result , they are not amortized but instead are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired .
such triggering events may include significant changes to the company 2019s network or capacity , or the implementation of open skies agreements in countries where the company operates flights .
in the fourth quarter of 2010 , the company performed its annual impairment testing on international slots and routes , at which time the net carrying value was reassessed for recoverability .
it was determined through this annual impairment testing that the fair value of certain international routes in latin america was less than the carrying value .
thus , the company incurred an impairment charge of $ 28 million to write down the values of these and certain other slots and routes .
as there is minimal market activity for the valuation of routes and international slots and landing rights , the company measures fair value with inputs using the income approach .
the income approach uses valuation techniques , such as future cash flows , to convert future amounts to a single present discounted amount .
the inputs utilized for these valuations are unobservable and reflect the company 2019s assumptions about market participants and what they would use to value the routes and accordingly are considered level 3 in the fair value hierarchy .
the company 2019s unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available as of december 31 .
