Description: AER AerCap Holdings February 26, 2026

AerCap Holdings N.V. (NYSE:AER) is the world’s largest aircraft leasing company, providing end-to-end leasing, financing, sale and asset-management services for commercial aircraft, engines and helicopters across the United States, China and global markets. Its platform covers everything from remarketing and lease-contract compliance to technical modifications, insurance, valuation and market research, while also offering corporate treasury and cash-management solutions for airline clients.

As of the latest Q4-2025 filing, AerCap’s fleet comprises roughly 3,500 aircraft, engines and helicopters, with an order backlog of about $55 billion-equivalent to roughly 1,200 future deliveries. The company generated $8.6 billion in revenue for 2025, delivering an adjusted EBITDA of $2.3 billion and maintaining a net-debt-to-EBITDA leverage of 5.5×. Key sector drivers include robust demand for narrow-body jets in Asia-Pacific, tightening airline cash flows that favor asset-light leasing models, and a modest rise in interest rates that is gradually compressing lease-rate spreads.
