AerCap Holdings N.V. has released a detailed update on its business performance for the second quarter of 2025, reflecting robust activity across its leasing, purchasing, sales, and financing operations.
During the quarter, AerCap signed 71 lease agreements across a diverse range of assets, including eight wide-body aircraft, 32 narrow-body aircraft, 13 engines and 18 helicopters. These agreements further strengthen the company’s expansive leasing portfolio, which supports around 300 customers globally.
The company completed 21 acquisitions, securing 11 aircraft for its owned portfolio. This includes three Airbus A320neo-family aircraft, five Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, and three Embraer E195-E2s. Additionally, five engines and five helicopters were added to AerCap’s owned assets.
On the sales front, AerCap completed 24 transactions involving 14 aircraft—primarily from the Airbus A320 family—alongside a Boeing 767-300ER and an Embraer E190. These included disposals from both the owned and managed portfolios. The firm also sold six engines and four helicopters.
In a significant legal victory, AerCap was awarded approximately US$1 billion by the London Commercial Court in a ruling concerning the loss of assets in Russia in 2022. This payout stems from the company’s war risk insurance policies, providing a substantial financial recovery related to those sanctions-related losses.
AerCap also completed around US$2.9 billion in financing transactions and repurchased approximately 4.7 million shares at an average price of US$94.03 per share, representing a total outlay of roughly US$445 million. The board declared a quarterly cash dividend of US$0.27 per share.
Headquartered in Dublin with a global presence, AerCap continues to maintain one of the most attractive order books in the industry, reaffirming its market leadership in aircraft leasing and fleet management.
