AerCap Holdings N.V. (AER) is a Dublin-based commercial aviation company whose primary business is the lease, financing, sale, and management of aircraft, engines, and helicopters. Founded in 1995 and listed on the NYSE since 2006, it operates globally, with a portfolio of approximately 3,500 owned, managed, or on-order assets.
The company generates revenue through aircraft leasing rentals and a broad set of asset management services for lessees, including contract compliance monitoring, maintenance oversight, lease restructuring, repossessions, insurance coordination, aircraft registration, and market research. It also provides corporate administrative services such as accounting, treasury, and cash management, as well as airframe and engine parts and supply chain solutions to airlines, MRO providers, and parts distributors.
AerCap operates within the aircraft leasing sector, a capital-intensive industry that purchases aircraft directly from manufacturers like Airbus and Boeing and leases them to commercial airlines under long-term contracts, typically earning recurring rental income supplemented by maintenance reserves and asset trading gains. The leasing model allows airlines to preserve capital and manage fleet flexibility, while lessors like AerCap generate returns through lease yield, asset appreciation, and trading profits on secondary aircraft sales.
- Narrowbody aircraft demand lifts lease rates and utilization
- Higher interest expense pressures leasing margins
- Aircraft portfolio sales and trading gains drive earnings
