History

Aercap traces its history to one of the first aircraft leasing companies, Guinness Peat Aviation, founded in 1975 by Tony Ryan. In 1998, it became AERFI after a bailout from Texas Pacific Group. In 2000, it was acquired by Debis AirFinance, owned by Daimler Chrysler, for $750 million.

In 2005, Debis AirFinance was acquired by affiliates of Cerberus Capital Management, which formed AerCap. In 2006, the company set up AerVenture, a 50/50 joint venture with LoadAir/Al Fawares. In 2009, after its partners refused to fund a capital contribution, Waha Capital acquired their 50% stake and became partners with AerCap.

In January 2007, the company became a public company via an initial public offering. In March 2010, the company acquired Genesis Lease. By 2013, the affiliates of Cerberus sold substantially all of their shares in the company.

ILFC acquisition

In May 2014, the company acquired International Lease Finance Corporation from American International Group (AIG) for $3.0 billion of cash and $4.6 billion in stock. The deal gave AerCap $43 billion in total assets and a fleet of over 1,300 aircraft, compared to competitor GE Capital Aviation Services with a fleet of 1,800+ aircraft.Шаблон:Citation needed

In January 2015, the company shifted assets to Ireland. In June 2015, AerCap signed an agreement with Boeing for an order of 100 Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft with deliveries starting in 2019. In June 2015, AIG sold about 71.2 million shares in a public offering and AerCap purchased an additional 15.7 million of its shares from AIG. In August 2015, AIG completed its departure from the airplane-leasing business with the sale of the additional 10.7 million shares.

By the end of 2015, AerCap's portfolio consisted of 1,697 aircraft that were owned, on order, under contract or managed (including aircraft owned by AerDragon, a non-consolidated joint venture). The average age of the owned fleet as of December 31, 2015 was 7.7 years and the average remaining contracted lease term was 5.9 years. In 2015, AerCap leased, purchased and sold 405 aircraft. The company signed lease agreements for 276 aircraft and purchased 46 new aircraft. AerCap executed sale and part-out transactions for 83 aircraft and signed financing transactions for US$7.3 billion.

The acquisition was approved by AerCap shareholders in May 2021. In November, the company completed the acquisition for 111.5 million AerCap shares, approximately $23 billion of cash and $1 billion of AerCap notes. In 2022, the company moved its U.S. headquarters from Los Angeles to Miami.

2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine

The company was negatively affected by the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and the international sanctions that followed. At the beginning of the invasion, it had 152 aircraft valued at $2.5 billion in Russia and Ukraine, which foreign companies were unable to recover or service. In May 2022, the company reported a net loss of $2 billion due to the seizure of its planes and engines by the Russian authorities. 113 of its planes were seized in response to sanctions triggered by the war in Ukraine.

AerCap had initially written off or impaired $3.16 billion of assets in relation to the Russian situation although some recoveries were made leaving an overall net charge of $2.66 billion.

In September 2023 an agreement was reached with Aeroflot regarding a compensation package for 17 aircraft stranded in Russia with the payment of a $645 million being made for the settlement, resulting in the aircraft now being owned by Aeroflot.
