AerCap To Lease 10 Airbus A330s To Aeroflot

Deliveries To Start In November 2008

AerCap Holdings N.V. announced this week it has signed agreements to lease 10 new Airbus A330-200 aircraft to the Russian national carrier Aeroflot for lease periods between nine and 10 years. The aircraft are part of the order for 20 A330s that AerCap placed with Airbus in December 2006, and increased by another 10 aircraft in March 2007.

The aircraft for Aeroflot will be powered by Rolls-Royce engines and are scheduled to be delivered between November 2008 and April 2010.

"A330s are important additions to our long-range capabilities and allow us to expand our presence in our strategic markets in Asia and the Far East," said Dmitry Senatorov, Head of Aeroflot's Fleet Planning and Aircraft Procurement Department.

Soeren Ferre, AerCap's Head of Aircraft Marketing for Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific / CEO of AerCap Group Services B.V., also commented on the transaction.

"Following our lease agreement for six A320s with Aeroflot in October last year, we are very pleased to extend our relationship with Aeroflot through this new transaction and to support their fleet renewal process. With Aeroflot being one of the world's biggest airlines and Russia one of the most rapidly growing aviation markets, this transaction provides a very attractive business opportunity for us to strengthen our presence in the region."

JSC Aeroflot - Russian Airlines (AFLT) is the national air carrier of Russia. As the largest airline in the country, it carries more than 8 million passengers a year, and together with its affiliated airlines, more than 10 million combined -- around a quarter of the total air passenger traffic of Russia.
