“ILFC’s mix of aircraft continues to provide airlines around the world with strategic solutions to address their fleet needs,” ILFC Chief Executive Officer Henri Courpron commented. “Our decision to open new offices in Amsterdam, Singapore and Beijing in the past year has placed us closer to our customers and proved beneficial in expanding valuable relationships.”

ILFC is scheduled to add next generation technology aircraft including Boeing 787s and Airbus NEOs in 2013 and 2015 respectively. ILFC has 74 Boeing 787s on order, which makes ILFC not only the largest 787 lessor, but also the largest customer in the program.
