AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands November 18, 2010 - AerCap Holdings N.V. (“AerCap,” NYSE: AER) announced that yesterday it has signed a Letter of Intent with The Boeing Company covering the purchase of up to 15 737-800 aircraft, consisting of 10 firm aircraft and 5 purchase rights.

 

Klaus Heinemann, CEO of AerCap commented: “We are extremely pleased to enter into a direct purchase arrangement with Boeing. While AerCap’s portfolio of lease assets already contains a large number of Boeing aircraft, this is the first time that AerCap will buy directly from the manufacturer. The 737-800 with its recently announced performance upgrade, its new cabin interior and the superb on wing performance of its CFM engines makes it a formidable competitor to any re-engine alternative.”
