It holds over 1,500 aircraft, ~1,300 engines, and 300+ helicopters, with total assets around $71 billion, making it the dominant player in aviation leasing. AerCap buys new, in‑demand aircraft from manufacturers like Airbus and Boeing, then leases them long‑term to airlines, giving carriers access to modern fleets without the cost of ownership.
