the vendor assumes the obligation to repair the engines at no additional cost to us , subject to certain specified exclusions . thus , under the power by the hour agreement , we expense the engine

passenger revenue ( referred to as pass through costs ) . these pass-through costs include fuel , landing fees , station rents and engine maintenance expenses under certain fixed-fee contracts . excluding the pass-through expenses for fuel , landing fees and engine maintenance and the associated direct reimbursement from our major partners , our passenger revenues increased from $ 2,570 million for the year ended december 31 , 2013 to $ 2,583 million for the year ended december 31 , 2014 , a $ 13 million increase . this increase during the 2014 year was primarily due to the addition

2014 , as compared to the year ended december 31 , 2013 , due primarily to ( i ) our major partners purchasing an increased volume of fuel , landing fees and station rents directly from vendors on flights we operated under our code-share agreements and ( ii ) a reduction in the number of engine maintenance events . the following table summarizes the amount of fuel , landing fees , station rents , de-ice and engine overhaul reimbursements included in our passenger revenues for the periods indicated ( dollar amounts in thousands ) . replace_table_token_13_th passenger revenues . passenger revenues decreased $ 71.5 million , or 2.2 % , during year ended december 31 , 2014 , compared to the year ended december 31 , 2013. our passenger revenues , excluding fuel , landing fees , station rents and engine overhaul reimbursements from major partners , increased $ 7.6 million , or 0.3 % , during the year ended december 31 , 2014 , compared to the year ended december 31 , 2013. the increase in passenger revenues , excluding fuel , landing fees , station rents and engine overhaul reimbursements , was primarily due to the additional e175 operations that began in 2014 , improvements in the provisions in certain of our flying contracts and additional revenue sharing 46 operations , partially offset by reductions in the expressjet fleet size , severe weather experienced in the first half of 2014 and reduced contract performance incentives . ground handling and other . total ground handling and other revenues increased $ 11.3 million , or 19.3 % , during the year ended december 31 , 2014 , compared to the year ended december 31 , 2013. ground handling and other revenue primarily consists of ground handling services we provide to third-party airlines and government subsidies we receive for operating certain routes . revenues associated with ground handling services we provide for our aircraft are recorded as passenger revenues . the increase in ground handling and other revenue was primarily due to an increased volume of departures during the 2014 year on routes subject to government subsidies . individual expense components attributable to our operations are expressed in the following table on the basis of cents per asm ( dollar amounts in thousands ) . replace_table_token_14_th salaries , wages and employee benefits . salaries , wages and employee benefits increased $ 46.8 million , or 3.9 % , during the year ended december 31 , 2014 , compared to the year ended december 31 , 2013. the increase in salaries , wages and employee benefits was primarily due to additional expenses attributable to the implementation of the improvement act , which had a negative effect on pilot scheduling and work hours and resulted in increased crew costs . the increase was also due to the additional e175 operations and training costs associated with the commencement of our e175 flight operations during 2014. aircraft maintenance , materials
