One-third of the liability insurance is a special charge assessed against fight 482 because in the opinion of the insurance company. the destination of the filght is in a "high-risk" area. The remaining two-thirds would be unaffected by a decision to drop flight 482 c. The baggage loading and flight preparation expense is an allocation of ground crews' salaries and depreciation of ground equipment.
