Company Description

Air Lease Corp., being a leading aircraft leasing company, purchases commercial aircraft directly from the manufacturers & leases them to its airline customers across the globe.

The company's debt financing strategy is aimed at raising unsecured debt with minimal usage of export credit or any other secured financing variant.
