Aircraft lessor AerCap acquired five General Electric GE90-115B engines from Sanad, the global aerospace engineering and leasing solutions company wholly-owned by Abu Dhabi’s sovereign investor, Mubadala Investment Company. This transaction was announced at the Dubai Airshow earlier this month.

“We are very pleased to work with Sanad on this transaction,” Tom Slattery, executive vice president of AerCap Engines, said. “The addition of these GE-90 engines to our portfolio will enable us to support the strong demand in leasing activity we are seeing from our customers. We thank the team at Sanad for their partnership and look forward to future collaborations between our two companies.”

“This transaction is in line with our portfolio management and capital allocation strategy,” Kashish Kohli, CFO of Sanad Group and senior vice president of Sanad’s leasing division, said. “This successful deal not only strengthens our relationship with AerCap but also highlights the synergies between our organizations. We look forward to building on this momentum and exploring further avenues of cooperation with AerCap.”
