AerCap (AER) is the world's largest aircraft leasing company after acquiring International Lease Finance Corp. in 2014.[4] As of December 2015, AerCap had approximately 1,700 owned, managed or on order aircraft in its portfolio.[5] AerCap serves over 200 customers in approximately 80 countries with comprehensive fleet solutions, and provides part-out and engine leasing services through its subsidiary, AeroTurbine. AerCap is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (AER) and has its headquarters in Dublin with offices in Amsterdam, Los Angeles, Shannon, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Singapore, Shanghai, Abu Dhabi, Seattle and Toulouse.[6]
On December 16, 2013, AerCap agreed to buy International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC) with value around $5.4 billion, $3 billion is paid by cash and the rest with AerCap common shares newly issued.
