Aengus Kelly, CEO of AerCap, commented: “We are very pleased with our financial results and the ongoing ILFC integration process, as evidenced by the numbers. Our net spread of 10% is running at a 5-year high with fleet utilization of approximately 99%. Further, we have placed 50% of our committed aircraft purchases through 2022. We have also far exceeded our aircraft sales target by $1 billion, resulting in a robust liquidity profile. Finally, the ILFC asset migration to our Irish operations is ahead of schedule. From these figures, I am extremely proud of the entire AerCap/ILFC team who are working diligently to integrate the combined operations which we anticipate will be completed in 2015.”
