Message:

Ernest Greene requested some additional information on the effects of the changes in assumptions on the valuation of the share sales and option grants that AerCap agreed to in response to the Staff's comments. Attached is a file that has information with respect to the six months ended June 30, 2006 and the nine months ended September 30, 2006 tables from the unaudited financial statements prepared on a basis of the prior probability weighted basis and the simple discount basis that AerCap determined to use in the Registration Statement disclosure. If this is unclear for any reason please let me know. We appreciate your continued cooperation.
