and acquired all of the assets and liabilities of AerCap Holdings C.V., a Netherlands limited partnership on October 27, 2006. This acquisition was a transaction under common control and
accordingly, AerCap Holdings N.V. recognized the acquisition of the assets and liabilities of AerCap Holdings C.V. at their carrying values. AerCap Holdings C.V. was formed on June 27,
2005 for the purpose of acquiring all of the shares and certain liabilities of AerCap B.V. (formerly known as debis AirFinance B.V.), in connection with our acquisition by funds and
accounts affiliated with Cerberus Capital Management, L.P., or the 2005 Acquisition. The historical consolidated financial data of AerCap Holdings C.V. are presented as if AerCap
Holdings N.V. had been the acquiring entity of AerCap B.V. on June 30, 2005. The financial information presented as of December 31, 2006 and 2007 and for the fiscal years
ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, and the six months ended June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2005, was derived from AerCap Holdings N.V.'s audited consolidated financial
statements included in this annual report. The financial information presented as of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 and as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 was
derived from AerCap Holdings N.V. audited consolidated financial statements not included in this annual report. The financial information presented as of and for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2003 was derived from AerCap B.V.'s unaudited consolidated financial statements. The financial information presented includes the results of AeroTurbine from the date of its
acquisition on April 26, 2006 to December 31, 2007, referred to herein as the AeroTurbine Acquisition.

RISK FACTORS

Risks Related to Our Business

Our business model depends on the continual re-leasing of our aircraft and engines when current leases expire, and we may not be able to do
so on favorable terms, if at all.

Our business model depends on the continual re-leasing of our aircraft and engines when our current leases expire in order to generate sufficient
revenues to finance our growth and operations and pay our debt service obligations. Between December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2010, aircraft leases accounting for approximately 40.4% of
our lease revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007, are scheduled to expire and the aircraft subject to those leases will need to be re-leased or extended. In addition, nearly
all of our engines are subject to short-term leases, which are generally less than 180 days. Our ability to re-lease our aircraft and engines will depend on general
market and competitive conditions at the time the leases expire. The general market and competitive conditions may be affected by many factors which are outside of our control.

In
2007, we generated $73.7 million of revenues from leases that were scheduled to expire in 2008, $101.9 million of revenues from leases that are scheduled to expire in
2009 and $48.4 million of revenues from leases that were scheduled to expire in 2010. Since we lease most of our engines under short-term leases (90 to 180 days), we
generally re-lease our engines at least once a year. If we are unable to re-lease an aircraft or engine on acceptable terms, our lease revenue may decline and we may need to
sell the aircraft or engines at unfavorable prices to provide adequate funds for our debt service obligations and to otherwise finance our growth and operations.

Turmoil in US financial markets initiated during mid-2007 by losses related to sub-prime lending and gradually spreading to global financial
markets and impacting most classes of lending has caused banks and financial institutions to decrease the amount of capital available for lending and has significantly increased the risk premium of
such borrowings. We will need additional capital to finance our obligations under forward purchase commitments and to finance additional growth, and we may not be able to obtain it on terms acceptable
to us, if at all, which may cause us to not meet our obligations under forward purchase commitments and restrict our ability to grow and compete in the aircraft and engine leasing and trading markets.

We will need additional capital to expand our business by acquiring additional aircraft, engines and other aviation assets, and financing may not be available to
us or may be available to us but only on terms that are unfavorable. As of December 31, 2007, we had 68 new A320 family aircraft and 30 new A330 widebody aircraft on order from Airbus. If we
acquire all 98 of the Airbus aircraft, over the next five years, we would expect to incur in excess of $4 billion of indebtedness to finance the purchase price of these aircraft. Our
commitments under forward purchase commitments exceed our current available cash balances and amounts available under committed borrowing facilities. In addition, defaults by banks with whom we have
committed borrowing facilities may decrease the amount available under committed borrowing facilities. We may not be able to find adequate sources of capital to fund all of our forward purchase
commitments or we may be able to access sufficient capital to fund our forward purchase commitments and fund other growth, but at terms that will negatively impact our profitability, growth, liquidity
and ability to compete in our market. Further, if additional capital is raised through the issuance of additional equity securities, the percentage ownership of our then current shareholders would be
diluted. Newly issued equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our ordinary shares. See "Item 10. Additional InformationMemorandum and
articles of association".

Our substantial indebtedness incurred to acquire our aircraft and engines requires significant debt service payments.

As of December 31, 2007, our consolidated indebtedness was $2.9 billion and our interest expense (including the impact of hedging activities) was
$234.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Due
to the capital intensive nature of our business and our strategy of expanding our aircraft and engine portfolios, we expect that we will incur additional indebtedness in the future and continue to
maintain high levels of indebtedness. High levels of indebtedness may limit our cash flow available for capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes and may have a material
adverse effect on our earnings and growth prospects.

In
addition, covenants in some of the indebtedness incurred by our subsidiaries prevent our subsidiaries from paying dividends to us in excess of defined limits. Also, the terms of the
Aircraft Lease
Securitisation indebtedness allow for distributions on the subordinated notes held by us only after the senior class of notes is redeemed.

Default by joint venture partners in joint venture agreements may trigger liquidity and financial difficulties in our joint venture vehicles and may
require us to contribute additional financial resources to support the value of our investments in such vehicles.

The financial viability of joint venture vehicles in which we have ownership interests depends upon the ability of joint venture partners to provide adequate
liquidity to fund operations and contracted growth. If our joint venture partners in such interests cannot or do not fulfill such obligations, we will have to provide the necessary liquidity or find
alternative partners to do so in order to prevent the joint venture vehicle from defaulting on material obligations.

Changes in interest rates may adversely affect our financial results and growth prospects.

We use floating rate debt to finance the acquisition of a significant portion of our aircraft and engines. All of our revolving credit facilities have floating
interest rates. As of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007, we had $2.3 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively, of indebtedness outstanding that was floating rate debt.
We incurred floating rate interest expense of $149.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2007. If interest rates increase, we would be obligated to make higher interest payments to
our lenders. Our practice has been to hedge the expected future interest payments on a portion of our floating-rate liabilities by entering into derivative contracts. However, we remain
exposed to changes in interest rates to the extent that our hedges are not perfectly correlated to our financial liabilities. In addition, if we incur significant fixed rate debt in the future,
increased interest rates prevailing in the market at the time of the incurrence or refinancing of such debt will also increase our interest expense.

Changes
in interest rates may also adversely affect our lease revenues generated from leases with lease rates tied to floating interest rates. In the year ended December 31, 2007,
26.0% of our lease revenue was attributable to leases tied to floating interest rates. Therefore, if interest rates were to decrease, our lease revenue would decrease. In addition, because our fixed
rate leases are based, in part, on prevailing interest rates at the time we enter into the lease; if interest rates decrease, new leases we enter into will be at lower lease rates and our lease
revenue will be adversely affected. As of December 31, 2007, if interest rates were to increase by 1%, we would expect to incur an increase in interest expense on our floating rate indebtedness
of approximately $2.4 million on an annualized basis, including the offsetting benefits of interest rate hedges currently in effect, and, if interest rates were to decrease by 1%, we would
expect to generate $5.5 million less lease revenue on an annualized basis.

The business of leasing, financing and sales of aircraft, engines, and parts has historically experienced prolonged periods of oversupply during which
lease rates and aircraft values have declined, and any future oversupply could materially and adversely affect our financial results and growth prospects.

In the past, the aircraft and engine leasing, buying and selling businesses have experienced prolonged periods of aircraft and engine oversupply. The oversupply
of a specific type of aircraft or engine is likely to depress the lease rates for and the value of that type of aircraft or engine. The

5

supply
and demand for aircraft and engines is affected by various cyclical and non-cyclical factors that are outside of our control, including:



These
factors may produce sharp and prolonged decreases in aircraft and engine lease rates and values, and have a material adverse effect on our ability to re-lease our
aircraft and engines and/or sell our aircraft engines and parts at acceptable prices. Any of these factors could materially and adversely affect our financial results and growth prospects.

Our financial condition is dependent, in part, on the financial strength of our lessees; lessee defaults and other credit problems could adversely
affect our financial results and growth prospects.

Our financial condition depends on the financial strength of our lessees, our ability to appropriately assess the credit risk of our lessees and the ability of
lessees to perform under our leases. In 2007, we generated 471% of our revenues from leases to the airline industry, and as a result, we are indirectly affected by all the risks facing airlines today.
The ability of our lessees to perform their obligations under our leases will depend primarily on the lessee's financial condition and cash flow, which may be affected by factors outside our control,
including:

Generally,
airlines with high debt leverage are more likely than airlines with stronger balance sheets to seek operating leases. As a result, most of our existing lessees are not rated
investment grade by the principal U.S. rating agencies and may suffer liquidity problems, and, at any point in time, may experience lease payment difficulties or be significantly in arrears in their
obligations under our leases. Current turmoil in global capital markets may have an additional negative effect on the ability of airlines to find adequate sources of financing to fund operations. Some
lessees encountering financial difficulties may seek a reduction in their lease rates or other concessions, such as a decrease in their contribution toward maintenance obligations. Any future
downturns in the airline industry could greatly exacerbate the weakened financial condition and liquidity problems of some of our lessees and further increase the risk of delayed, missed or reduced
rental payments. We may not correctly assess the credit risk of each lessee or charge lease rates which correctly reflect the related risks and our lessees may not be able to continue to meet their
financial and other obligations under our leases in the future. A delayed, missed or reduced rental payment from a lessee decreases our revenues and cash flow. Our default levels may increase over
time if economic conditions deteriorate. If lessees of a significant number of our aircraft or engines default on their leases, our financial results and growth prospects will be adversely affected.

The value and lease rates of our aircraft and engines could decline and this would have a material adverse effect on our financial results and growth
prospects.

Aircraft and engine values and lease rates have historically experienced sharp decreases due to a number of factors including, but not limited to, decreases in
passenger and air cargo demand, increases in fuel costs, government regulation and increases in interest rates. In addition to factors linked to the aviation industry generally, many other factors may
affect the value and lease rates of our aircraft and engines, including:



Any
decrease in the value and lease rates of aircraft or engines which may result from the above factors or other unanticipated factors, may have a material adverse effect on our
financial results and growth prospects.

The concentration of some aircraft and engine models in our aircraft and engine portfolios could adversely affect our business and financial results
should any problems specific to these particular models occur.

Due to the high concentration of Airbus A320 family aircraft and CFM International CFM56 family engines in our aircraft and engine portfolios, our financial
results and growth prospects may be adversely affected if the demand for these aircraft or engine models declines, if they are redesigned or replaced by their manufacturer or if these aircraft or
engine models experience design or technical problems. As of December 31, 2007, 81.8% of the net book value of our aircraft portfolio was

7

---



represented
by Airbus aircraft. Our owned aircraft portfolio included 13 aircraft types, the four highest concentrations of which together represented 84.9% of our aircraft by net book value. The four
highest concentrations were Airbus A320 aircraft, representing 37.5% of the net book value of our aircraft portfolio, Airbus A321 aircraft, representing 21.7% of the net book value of our aircraft
portfolio, Airbus A319 aircraft, representing 13.0% of the net book value of our aircraft portfolio and Boeing 737 aircraft representing 12.7% of net book value of our aircraft portfolio. No other
aircraft type represented more than 10% of our portfolio by net book value. In addition to our significant number of existing Airbus aircraft, we have 68 new Airbus A320 family aircraft on order
through our consolidated joint venture, AerVenture, and have 30 new Airbus A330 widebody aircraft on order. We also have a significant concentration of CFM56 engines in our engine portfolio. As of
December 31, 2007, 66.9% of the net book value of our engine portfolio was represented by CFM56 engines and 12.8% was represented by CF6 engines.

Should
any of these aircraft or engine types or aircraft manufactured by Airbus in general encounter technical or other problems, the value and lease rates of those aircraft or engines
will likely decline, and we may be unable to lease the aircraft or engines on favorable terms, if at all. Any significant technical problems with any such aircraft or engine models could result in the
grounding of the aircraft or engines.

In
addition, if Airbus experiences further financial difficulty or if its current restructuring plan is unsuccessful, we could be adversely affected. Airbus' exposure to a weakening US
dollar puts further pressure on the manufacturer to reduce costs. Airbus' restructuring was previously based on a US$1.35 to 1 Euro exchange rate, with each ten cent swing in exchange rate
reportedly effecting operating profit by €1 billion. The recent continued decline in the US$ exchange rate toward the Euro is therefore adversely effecting the European
manufacturer substantially.

Any
decrease in the value and lease rates of our aircraft and engines may have a material adverse effect on our financial results and growth prospects.

We are indirectly subject to many of the economic and political risks associated with emerging markets, which could adversely affect our financial
results and growth prospects.

A significant number of our aircraft and engines are leased to airlines in emerging market countries. As of December 31, 2007, we leased 57.5% of our
aircraft and 20.9% of our engines, weighted by net book value, to airlines in emerging market countries. The emerging markets in which our aircraft are operated include Thailand, India, Taiwan, Sri
Lanka, El Salvador, Jamaica, Malaysia, Colombia, Mexico, Turkey, Hungary, Russia, Brazil and Indonesia and we may lease aircraft and engines to airlines in other emerging market countries in the
future.

Emerging
market countries have less developed economies that are more vulnerable to economic and political problems and may experience significant fluctuations in gross domestic product,
interest rates and currency exchange rates, as well as civil disturbances, government instability, nationalization and expropriation of private assets and the imposition of taxes or other charges by
government authorities. The occurrence of any of these events in markets served by our lessees and the resulting economic instability that may arise could adversely affect the value of our ownership
interest in aircraft or engines subject to lease in such countries, or the ability of our lessees which operate in these markets to meet their lease obligations. As a result, lessees which operate in
emerging market countries may be more likely to default than lessees that operate in developed countries. In addition, legal systems in emerging market countries may be less developed, which could
make it more difficult for us to enforce our legal rights in such countries. For these and other reasons, our financial results and growth prospects may be materially and adversely affected by adverse
economic and political developments in emerging market countries.

If our lessees encounter financial difficulties and we decide to restructure our leases, the restructuring would likely result in less favorable leases
which could adversely affect our financial results and growth prospects.

If a lessee is late in making payments, fails to make payments in full or in part under a lease or has advised us that it will fail to make payments in full or in
part under a lease in the future, we may elect or be required to restructure the lease, which could result in less favorable terms or termination of a lease without receiving all or any of the past
due amounts. We may be unable to agree upon acceptable terms for some or all of the requested restructurings and as a result may be forced to exercise our remedies under those leases. If we, in the
exercise of our remedies, repossess an aircraft or engine, we may not be able to re-lease the aircraft or engine promptly at favorable rates, if at all. You should expect that
restructurings and/or repossessions with some lessees will occur in the future. The terms and conditions of possible lease restructurings may result in a significant reduction of lease revenue, which
may adversely affect our financial results and growth prospects.

If we or our lessees fail to maintain our aircraft or engines, their value may decline and we may not be able to lease or re-lease our
aircraft and engines at favorable rates, if at all, which would adversely affect our financial results and growth prospects.

We may be exposed to increased maintenance costs for our leased aircraft and engines associated with a lessee's failure to properly maintain the aircraft or
engine or pay supplemental maintenance rent. If an aircraft or engine is not properly maintained, its market value may decline which would result in lower revenues from its lease or sale. Under our
leases, our lessees are primarily responsible for maintaining the aircraft and engines and complying with all governmental requirements applicable to the lessee and the aircraft and engines, including
operational, maintenance, government agency oversight, registration requirements and airworthiness directives. Although we require many of our lessees to pay us a supplemental maintenance rent,
failure of a lessee to perform required maintenance during the term of a lease could result in a decrease in value of an aircraft or engine, an inability to re-lease an aircraft or engine
at favorable rates, if at all, or a potential grounding of an aircraft or engine. Maintenance failures by a lessee would also likely require us to incur maintenance and modification costs upon the
termination of the applicable lease, which could be substantial, to restore the aircraft or engine to an acceptable condition prior to sale or re-leasing. Supplemental maintenance rent
paid by our lessees may not be sufficient to fund our maintenance costs. Our lessees' failure to meet their obligations to pay supplemental maintenance rent or perform required scheduled maintenance
or our inability to maintain our aircraft or engines may materially and adversely affect our financial results and growth prospects.

Competition from other aircraft or engine lessors with greater resources or a lower cost of capital than us could adversely affect our financial results
and growth prospects.

The aircraft and engine leasing industry is highly competitive. Our competition is comprised of major aircraft leasing companies including GE Commercial Aviation
Services, International Lease Finance Corp., CIT Aerospace, Aviation Capital Group, RBS Aviation Capital, AWAS, Babcock & Brown, Boeing Capital Corp., Macquarie Air Finance and AirCastle
Advisors, and six major engine leasing companies, including GE Engine Leasing, Engine Lease Finance Corporation, Pratt & Whitney Engine Leasing LLC, Willis Lease Finance Corporation,
Rolls-Royce and Partners Finance and Shannon Engine Support Ltd. Some of our competitors are significantly larger and have greater resources or lower cost of capital than us; accordingly, they
may be able to compete more effectively in one or more of our markets. In addition, GE Commercial Aviation Services, through its acquisition of the Memphis Group, Inc., an aircraft parts
trading company, in late 2006, is able to operate with an integrated business model similar to our own, and therefore directly compete with each aspect of our business.

In
addition, we may encounter competition from other entities such as:



9

---





Some
of these competitors have greater operating and financial resources and access to lower capital costs than us. We may not always be able to compete successfully with such
competitors and other entities, which could materially and adversely affect our financial results and growth prospects.

We are exposed to significant regional political and economic risks due to the concentration of our lessees in certain geographical regions which could
adversely affect our financial results and growth prospects.

Through our lessees, we are exposed to local economic and political conditions. Such adverse economic and political conditions include additional regulation or,
in extreme cases, requisition of our aircraft or engines. The effect of these conditions on payments to us will be more or less pronounced, depending on the concentration of lessees in the region with
adverse conditions. The airline industry is highly sensitive to general economic conditions. A recession or other worsening of economic conditions or a
terrorist attack, particularly if combined with high fuel prices or a weak Euro or other local currency, may have a material adverse effect on the ability of our lessees to meet their financial and
other obligations under our leases.

Lease
rental revenues from lessees based in Asia accounted for 33% of our lease revenues in 2007. The outbreak of SARS in 2003 had a significant negative effect on the Asian economy,
particularly in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. The Asian airline industry has since recovered and is currently experiencing strong growth; however, a recurrence of SARS or the outbreak of another
epidemic disease, such as avian influenza, which many experts believe would originate in Asia, could materially and adversely affect the Asian airline industry.

Lease
rental revenues from lessees based in Europe accounted for 39% of our lease revenues in 2007. Commercial airlines in Europe face, and can be expected to continue to face, increased
competitive pressures, in part as a result of the deregulation of the airline industry by the European Union and the resulting expansion of low-cost carriers. European countries generally
have relatively strict environmental regulations and traffic constraints that can restrict operational flexibility and decrease aircraft productivity, which could significantly increase operating
costs of all aircraft, including our aircraft, thereby adversely affecting our lessees.

Lease
rental revenues from lessees based in North America, accounted for 16% of our lease revenues in 2007. During the past 16 years, a number of North American passenger airlines
filed for bankruptcy and several major U.S. airlines ceased operations altogether. The outbreak of SARS, the war and prolonged conflict in Iraq and the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in
the United States have imposed additional financial burdens on most U.S. airlines as a result of increased expenses due to tightened security requirements and have in certain cases led to a temporary
reduction in demand for air travel.

Lease
rental revenues from lessees based in Latin America accounted for 10% of our lease revenues in 2007. The economies of Latin American countries are generally characterized by lower
levels of foreign investment and greater economic volatility when compared to industrialized countries. Lease rental revenues from lessees based in the Caribbean accounted for 2% of our lease revenues
in 2007. Any economic downturn in the Latin American or the Caribbean economies may adversely affect the operations of our lessees in these regions.

Aircraft have limited economically useful lives and depreciate over time, which can adversely affect our financial condition and growth prospects.

As our aircraft age, they will depreciate and generally the aircraft will generate lower revenues and cash flows. If we do not replace our older depreciated
aircraft with newer aircraft, our ability to maintain or increase our revenues and cash flows will decline. In addition, since we depreciate our aircraft for accounting purposes on a straight line
basis to the aircraft's estimated residual value over its estimated useful life, if we dispose of an aircraft for a price that is less than the depreciated book value of the aircraft on our balance
sheet, we will recognize a loss on the sale.

The advanced age of some of our aircraft may cause us to incur higher than anticipated maintenance expenses, which could adversely affect our financial
results and growth prospects.

As of December 31, 2007, we owned 62 aircraft that were over ten years of age, representing 25.3% of the net book value of our aircraft portfolio. In
general, the costs of operating an aircraft, including maintenance expenditures, increase as the aircraft ages. In addition, older aircraft are typically less fuel-efficient, noisier and
produce higher levels of emissions, than newer aircraft and may be more difficult to re-lease or sell. In a depressed market, the value of older aircraft may decline more rapidly than the
values of newer aircraft and our operating results may be adversely affected. Increased variable expenses like fuel, maintenance and increased governmental regulation could make the operation of older
aircraft or engines less profitable and may result in increased lessee defaults. Incurring higher than anticipated maintenance expenses associated with the advanced age of some of our aircraft or our
inability to sell or re-lease such older aircraft would materially and adversely affect our financial results and growth prospects.

The advent of superior aircraft and engine technology could cause our existing aircraft and engine portfolio to become outdated and therefore less
desirable, which could adversely affect our financial results and growth prospects.

As manufacturers introduce technological innovations and new types of aircraft and engines, some of the aircraft and engines in our aircraft and engine portfolios
may become less desirable to potential
lessees. In addition, the imposition of increased regulation regarding stringent noise or emissions restrictions may make some of our aircraft and engines less desirable in the marketplace. Any of
these risks may adversely affect our ability to lease or sell our aircraft or engines on favorable terms, if at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial results and growth
prospects.

If our lessees' insurance coverage is insufficient, it could adversely affect our financial results and growth prospects.

While we do not directly control the operation of any of our aircraft or engines, by virtue of holding title to aircraft, directly or indirectly, in certain
jurisdictions around the world, we could be held strictly liable for losses resulting from the operation of our aircraft and engines, or may be held liable for those losses on other legal theories. We
require our lessees to obtain specified levels of insurance and indemnify us for, and insure against, liabilities arising out of their use and operation of the aircraft.

However,
following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, aviation insurers significantly reduced the amount of insurance coverage available to airlines for liability to
persons other than employees or passengers for claims resulting from acts of terrorism, war or similar events. At the same time, aviation insurers significantly increased the premiums for third-party
war risk and terrorism liability insurance and coverage in general. As a result, the amount of third-party war risk and terrorism liability insurance that is commercially available at any time may be
below the amount stipulated in our leases.

11

---



Our
lessees' insurance or other coverage may not be sufficient to cover all claims that may be asserted against us arising from the operation of our aircraft and engines by our lessees.
Inadequate insurance coverage or default by lessees in fulfilling their indemnification or insurance obligations will reduce the proceeds that would be received by us in the event we are sued and are
required to make payments to claimants, which could materially and adversely affect our financial results and growth prospects.

If we incur significant costs resulting from lease defaults it could adversely affect our financial results and growth prospects.

If we are required to repossess an aircraft or engine after a lessee default, we may be required to incur significant unexpected costs. Those costs include legal
and other expenses of court or other governmental proceedings, including the cost of posting surety bonds or letters of credit necessary to effect repossession of aircraft or engine, particularly if
the lessee is contesting the proceedings or is in
bankruptcy. In addition, during these proceedings the relevant aircraft or engine is not generating revenue. We may also incur substantial maintenance, refurbishment or repair costs that a defaulting
lessee has failed to pay and that are necessary to put the aircraft or engine in suitable condition for re-lease or sale. It may also be necessary to pay off liens, taxes and other
governmental charges on the aircraft to obtain clear possession and to remarket the aircraft effectively, including, in some cases, liens that the lessee may have incurred in connection with the
operation of its other aircraft. We may also incur other costs in connection with the physical possession of the aircraft or engine.

We
may also suffer other adverse consequences as a result of a lessee default and the related termination of the lease and the repossession of the related aircraft or engine. Our rights
upon a lessee default vary significantly depending upon the jurisdiction and the applicable law, including the need to obtain a court order for repossession of the aircraft and/or consents for
de-registration or re-export of the aircraft. When a defaulting lessee is in bankruptcy, protective administration, insolvency or similar proceedings, additional limitations
may apply. Certain jurisdictions give rights to the trustee in bankruptcy or a similar officer to assume or reject the lease or to assign it to a third-party, or entitle the lessee or another
third-party to retain possession of the aircraft or engine without paying lease rentals or performing all or some of the obligations under the relevant lease. In addition, certain of our lessees are
owned in whole, or in part, by government-related entities, which could complicate our efforts to repossess our aircraft or engines in that government's jurisdiction. Accordingly, we may be delayed
in, or prevented from, enforcing certain of our rights under a lease and in re-leasing the affected aircraft or engine.

If
we repossess an aircraft or engine, we will not necessarily be able to export or de-register and profitably redeploy the aircraft or engine. For instance, where a lessee
or other operator flies only domestic routes in the jurisdiction in which the aircraft or engine is registered, repossession may be more difficult, especially if the jurisdiction permits the lessee or
the other operator to resist de-registration. We may also incur significant costs in retrieving or recreating aircraft or engine records required for registration of the aircraft or
engine, and in obtaining the certificate of airworthiness for an aircraft. If we incur significant costs repossessing our aircraft or engines, are delayed in repossessing our aircraft or engines or
are unable to obtain possession of our aircraft or engines as a result of lessee defaults, our financial results and growth prospects may be materially and adversely affected.

If our lessees fail to appropriately discharge aircraft liens, we may be obligated to pay the aircraft liens, which could adversely affect our financial
results and growth prospects.

In the normal course of their business, our lessees are likely to incur aircraft and engine liens that secure the payment of airport fees and taxes, custom
duties, air navigation charges, including charges imposed by Eurocontrol, landing charges, crew wages, repairer's charges, salvage or other liens that may attach to our aircraft or engine. These liens
may secure substantial sums that may, in certain

12

---



jurisdictions
or for certain types of liens, particularly liens on entire fleets of aircraft, exceed the value of the particular aircraft or engine to which the liens have attached. Aircraft and
engines may also be subject to mechanical liens as a result of routine maintenance performed by third parties on behalf of our customers. Although the financial obligations relating to these liens are
the responsibility of our lessees, if they fail to fulfill their obligations, the liens may attach to our aircraft or engines and ultimately become our responsibility. In some jurisdictions, aircraft
and engine liens may give the holder thereof the right to detain or, in limited cases, sell or cause the forfeiture of the aircraft or engine.

Until
they are discharged, these liens could impair our ability to repossess, re-lease or sell our aircraft or engines. Our lessees may not comply with their obligations
under their leases to discharge aircraft liens arising during the terms of their leases. If they do not, we may find it necessary to pay the claims secured by such aircraft liens in order to repossess
the aircraft or engine. Such payments would materially and adversely affect our financial results and growth prospects.

Failure to obtain certain required licenses, certificates and approvals could adversely affect our ability to re-lease or sell aircraft and
engines, our ability to perform maintenance services or to provide cash management services, which would materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Under our leases, we may be required in some instances to obtain specific licenses, consents or approvals for different aspects of the leases. These required
items include consents from governmental or regulatory authorities for certain payments under the leases and for the import, re-export or deregistration of the aircraft and engines.
Subsequent changes in applicable law or administrative practice may increase such requirements. In addition, a governmental consent, once given, might be withdrawn. Furthermore, consents needed in
connection with future re-leasing or sale of an aircraft or engine may not be forthcoming. To perform some of our cash management services and insurance services from Ireland under our
management arrangements with our joint ventures and securitization entities, we require a license from the Irish regulatory authorities, which we have obtained. In addition, to meet our MRO customers'
requirements to maintain certain flight certifications, AeroTurbine requires certificates from the Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA, and European Aviation Safety Agency, or EASA, which it has
obtained. A failure to maintain these licenses or certificates or obtain any required license or certificate, consent or
approval, or the occurrence of any of the foregoing events, could adversely affect our ability to provide qualifying services or re-lease or sell our aircraft or engines, which would
materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Our ability to operate in some countries is restricted by foreign regulations and controls on investments.

Many countries restrict or control foreign investments to varying degrees, and additional or different restrictions or policies adverse to us may be imposed in
the future. These restrictions and controls have limited, and may in the future restrict or preclude, our investment in joint ventures or the acquisition of businesses outside of the United States, or
may increase the cost to us of entering into such transactions. Various governments, particularly in the Asia/Pacific region, require governmental approval before foreign persons may make investments
in domestic businesses and also limit the extent of any such investments. Furthermore, various governments may require governmental approval for the repatriation of capital by, or the payment of
dividends to, foreign investors. Restrictive policies regarding foreign investments may increase our costs of pursuing growth opportunities in foreign jurisdictions, which could materially and
adversely affect our financial results and growth prospects.

13

There are a limited number of aircraft and engine manufacturers and the failure of any manufacturer to meet its aircraft and engine delivery obligations
to us could adversely affect our financial results and growth prospects.

The supply of commercial jet aircraft is dominated by two airframe manufacturers, Boeing and Airbus, and three engine manufacturers, GE Aircraft Engines,
Rolls-Royce plc and Pratt & Whitney. As a result, we are dependent on these manufacturers' success in remaining financially stable, producing products and related components which meet
the airlines' demands and fulfilling their contractual obligations to us. For Airbus, the impact of delayed deliveries of the A380 have resulted in substantial financial losses for the manufacturer,
which subsequently forced Airbus to resort to a significant cost saving program. In addition, the strengthening of the Euro against a weakening US dollar has put further cost pressure on Airbus.
Although Boeing is not exposed to the same Euro-US dollar currency risk, announced delays in the Boeing 787 program could potentially lead to similar consequences to those resulting from
the Airbus A380 program delays.

The
record number of orders obtained by both Airbus and Boeing over the last few years has lead to an unprecedented production backlog. Absent an increase in production capability or a
significant number of order cancellations at Airbus or Boeing, we expect that our short-term growth due to new aircraft orders will remain difficult.

Should
the manufacturers fail to respond appropriately to changes in the market environment or fail to fulfill their contractual obligations, we may experience:



We and our customers are subject to various environmental regulations that may have an adverse impact on our financial results and growth prospects.

Governmental regulations regarding aircraft and engine noise and emissions levels apply based on where the relevant airframe is registered, and where the aircraft
is operated. For example, jurisdictions throughout the world have adopted noise regulations which require all aircraft to comply with noise level standards. In addition, the United States and the
International Civil Aviation Organization, or ICAO, have adopted a more stringent set of standards for noise levels which apply to engines manufactured or certified beginning in 2006. Currently,
United States regulations do not require any phase-out of aircraft that qualify with the older standards, but the European Union established a framework for the imposition of operating
limitations on aircraft that do not comply with the newer

14

---



standards.
These regulations could limit the economic life of our aircraft and engines, reduce their value, limit our ability to lease or sell the non-compliant aircraft and engines or, if
engine modifications are permitted, require us to make significant additional investments in the aircraft and engines to make them compliant.

In
addition to more stringent noise restrictions, the United States and other jurisdictions are beginning to impose more stringent limits on the emission of nitrogen oxide, carbon
monoxide and carbon dioxide emissions from engines. Though current emissions control laws generally apply to newer engines, new laws could be passed in the future that also impose limits on older
engines, and therefore any new engines we purchase, as well as our older engines, could be subject to existing or new emissions limitations. Limitations on emissions could favor the use of larger
wide-body aircraft since they generally produce lower levels of emissions per passenger, which could adversely affect our ability to re-lease or otherwise dispose of our
narrow-body aircraft on a timely basis, at favorable terms, or at all. This is an area of law that is rapidly changing, and while we do not know at this time whether new emission control
laws will be passed, and if passed what impact such laws might have on our business, any future emissions limitations could adversely affect us.

Our
operations are subject to various federal, state and local environmental, health and safety laws and regulations in the United States, including those relating to the discharge of
materials into the air, water and ground, the generation, storage, handling, use, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials, and the health and safety of its employees. A violation of these
laws and regulations or permit conditions can result in substantial fines, permit revocation or other damages. Many of these laws impose liability for clean-up of contamination that may
exist at our facilities (even if we did not know of or were not responsible for the contamination) or related personal injuries or natural resource damages or costs relating to contamination at
third-party waste disposal sites where we have sent or may send waste. We cannot assure you that we will be at all times in complete compliance with these laws, regulations or permits. We may have
liability under environmental laws or be subject to legal actions brought by governmental authorities or other parties for actual or alleged violations of, or liability under, environmental, health
and safety laws, regulations or permits.

We are the manager for several securitization vehicles and joint ventures and our financial results would be adversely affected if we were removed from
these positions.

We are the aircraft manager for various securitization vehicles, joint ventures and third parties and receive annual fees for these services. In 2007, we
generated revenue of $14.3 million from providing aircraft management services to non-consolidated securitization vehicles and joint ventures and third parties. We may be removed as
manager by the affirmative vote of a requisite number of holders of the securities issued by the securitization vehicles upon the occurrence of specified events and at specified times under our joint
venture agreements. If we are removed, in the case of our consolidated securitization vehicles and joint ventures, our expenses would increase since such securitization vehicles or joint ventures
would have to hire an outside aircraft manager and, in the case of non-consolidated securitization vehicles, joint ventures and third parties, our revenues would decline as a result of the
loss of our fees for providing management services to such entities. If we are removed as aircraft manager for any securitization vehicle or joint venture that generates a significant portion of our
management fees, our financial results and growth prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

15

Our limited control over our joint ventures may delay or prevent us from implementing our business strategy which may adversely affect our financial
results and growth prospects.

We are currently joint venture partners in several joint ventures, including AerVenture, a consolidated joint venture which has entered into a purchase agreement
with Airbus for the purchase of up to 70 A320 family aircraft, and it is our strategy to enter into additional joint ventures in the future. Under the AerVenture joint venture agreement, we share
control over significant decisions with our joint venture partner. For example, we may not, without the consent of our AerVenture joint venture partner, cause AerVenture to incur any debt outside the
ordinary course of business, buy or sell assets or pay dividends to us. Since we have limited control over AerVenture and certain of our other joint ventures and may not be able to exercise control
over any future joint venture, we may not be able to require AerVenture or such other joint ventures to take actions that we believe are necessary to implement our business strategy. Accordingly, this
limited control could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and growth prospects.

The departure of senior managers could adversely affect our financial results and growth prospects.

Our future success depends, to a significant extent, upon the continued service of our senior management personnel. For a description of the senior management
team, see "Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees". The departure of senior management personnel, including at AeroTurbine, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to
achieve our business strategy.

In certain countries, an engine affixed to an aircraft may become an accession to the aircraft and we may not be able to exercise our ownership rights
over the engine.

In some jurisdictions, an engine affixed to an aircraft may become an accession to the aircraft, so that the ownership rights of the owner of the aircraft
supersede the ownership rights of the owner of the engine. If an aircraft is security for the owner's obligations to a third-party, the security interest in the aircraft may supersede our rights as
owner of the engine. This legal principle could limit our ability to repossess an engine in the event of an engine lease default while the aircraft with our engine installed remains in such
jurisdiction. We would suffer a substantial loss if we were not able to repossess engines
leased to lessees in these jurisdictions, which would materially and adversely affect our financial results and growth prospects.

Risks Related to the Aviation Industry

As high fuel prices continue to affect the profitability of the aviation industry, our lessees might not be able to meet their lease payment
obligations, which would adversely affect our financial results and growth prospects.

Fuel costs represent a major expense to companies operating in the aviation industry. Fuel prices fluctuate widely depending primarily on international market
conditions, geopolitical and environmental events and currency/exchange rates. As a result, fuel costs are not within the control of lessees and significant increases in fuel costs would materially
and adversely affect their operating results.

Factors
such as natural disasters can significantly affect fuel availability and prices. In August and September 2005, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita inflicted widespread damage along the
Gulf Coast of the United States, causing significant disruptions to oil production, refinery operations and pipeline capacity in the region, and to oil production in the Gulf of Mexico. These
disruptions resulted in decreased fuel availability and higher fuel prices.

Fuel
prices currently remain at historically high levels. The continuing high cost of fuel has had, and sustained high costs in the future may continue to have, a material adverse affect
on airlines' profitability, including our lessees. Due to the competitive nature of the aviation industry, operators have been and may continue to be unable to pass on increases in fuel prices to
their customers by increasing fares in a manner that fully off-sets the increased fuel costs they have incurred. In addition,

16

---



they
may not be able to manage this risk by appropriately hedging their exposure to fuel price fluctuations. If fuel prices remain at historically high levels or increase further due to future
terrorist attacks, acts of war, armed hostilities, natural disasters or for any other reason, they are likely to cause our lessees to incur higher costs and/or generate lower revenues, resulting in an
adverse affect on their financial condition and liquidity. Consequently, these conditions may adversely affect our lessees' ability to make rental and other lease payments, result in lease
restructurings and/or aircraft and engine repossessions, increase our costs of servicing and marketing our aircraft and engines, impair our ability to re-lease them or otherwise dispose of
them on a timely basis at favorable rates or terms, if at all, and reduce the proceeds received for such assets upon any disposition. Any of these events could adversely affect our financial results
and growth prospects.

If the effects of terrorist attacks and geopolitical conditions continue to adversely affect the financial condition of the airlines, our lessees might
not be able to meet their lease payment obligations, which would adversely affect our financial results and growth prospects.

As a result of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States and subsequent terrorist attacks abroad, notably in the Middle East, Southeast
Asia and Europe, increased security restrictions were implemented on air travel, costs for aircraft insurance and security measures have increased, passenger and cargo demand for air travel decreased
and operators have faced and continue to face increased difficulties in acquiring war risk and other insurance at reasonable costs. In addition, war or armed hostilities, or the fear of such events
could further exacerbate many of the problems experienced as a result of terrorist attacks. Uncertainty regarding the situation in Iraq and tension over Iran's and North Korea's nuclear programs, may
lead to further instability in the Middle East. Future terrorist attacks, war or armed hostilities, or the fear of such events, could further adversely affect the aviation industry and may have an
adverse effect on the financial condition and liquidity of our lessees, aircraft and engine values and rental rates, and may lead to lease restructurings or repossessions, all of which could adversely
affect our financial results and growth prospects.

Terrorist
attacks and adverse geopolitical conditions have adversely affected the aviation industry and concerns about such events could also result in:



Future
terrorist attacks, acts of war or armed hostilities may cause certain aviation insurance to become available only at significantly increased premiums, which may only provide
reduced amounts of

17

---



coverage
that are insufficient to comply with the levels of insurance coverage currently required by aircraft and engine lenders and lessors or by applicable government regulations, or to not be
available at all.

Although
the Aircraft Transportation Safety and System Stabilization Act adopted in the United States on September 22, 2001 and similar programs instituted by the governments of
other countries provide for limited government coverage under government programs for specified types of aviation insurance, these programs may not continue and governments may not pay under these
programs in a timely fashion.

Future
terrorist attacks, acts of war or armed hostilities are likely to cause our lessees to incur higher costs and to generate lower revenues, which could result in an adverse effect
on their financial condition and liquidity. Consequently, these conditions may affect their ability to make rental and other lease payments to us or obtain the types and amounts of insurance required
by the applicable leases, which may in turn lead to aircraft groundings, may result in additional lease restructurings and repossessions, may increase our cost of re-leasing or selling the
aircraft and may impair our ability to re-lease or otherwise dispose of them on a timely basis at favorable rates or on favorable terms, if at all, and may reduce the proceeds received for
our aircraft and engines upon any disposition. These results could adversely affect our financial results and growth prospects.

The effects of SARS or other epidemic diseases may adversely affect the airline industry in the future, which might cause our lessees to not be able to
meet their lease payment obligations to us, which would adversely affect our financial results and growth prospects.

The linking of the 2003 outbreak of SARS to air travel materially and adversely affected passenger demand for air travel at that time. While the World Heath
Organization's travel bans related to SARS were lifted, SARS had a continuing negative affect on the aviation industry, which was evidenced by a sharp reduction in passenger bookings and the
cancellation of many flights after the air travel bans had been lifted. While these effects were felt most acutely in Asia, the effect of SARS on the aviation industry also adversely affected other
areas, including North America.

Since
2003, there have been several outbreaks of avian influenza, beginning in Asia and, most recently, spreading to certain parts of Africa and Europe. Although human cases of avian
influenza so far have been limited in number, the World Health Organization has expressed serious concern that a human influenza pandemic could develop from the avian influenza virus. In such an
event, numerous responses, including travel restrictions, might be necessary to combat the spread of the disease. Additional outbreaks of SARS or other diseases, such as avian influenza, or the fear
of such events, could adversely affect passenger demand for air travel and the aviation industry. These consequences could result in our lessees' inability to satisfy their lease payment obligations
to us, which in turn would adversely affect our financial results and growth prospects.

The passenger aviation industry is inherently cyclical and a significant downturn in the industry would adversely impact our lessees' ability to make
payments to us, which would adversely affect our financial results and growth prospects.

The years 2001 through 2004 were characterized by falling demand and rising costs. This industry downturn was exacerbated by the terrorist attacks on
September 11, 2001, prolonged military action in Iraq and Afghanistan, rising fuel prices, SARS and avian influenza. As a result, the global airline industry experienced significant financial
losses. Many airlines, including some of our lessees, announced or implemented reductions in capacity, service and workforce. Additionally, many airlines sought protection under bankruptcy laws. The
airline bankruptcies and the reduction in demand led to the grounding of significant numbers of aircraft and engines and the negotiation of reductions in lease rental rates, which depressed aircraft
and engine market values.

18

---



While
the down cycle has ended and many of the world's airlines are experiencing improved financial performance, there are recent indications that a recession is developing in the United
States which
could trigger a slowdown or recession in other economies. While it is unclear what the impact of these events may be on the aviation industry an industry downturn is likely to occur again at some
point in the future and the impact could be similar to the impact of the prior downturn. Such a downturn would likely place already financially weakened lessees under further duress, once again
putting downward pressure on lease rates. As in the previous downturn, the grounding of undesirable older aircraft would also play a role in depressing aircraft and engine market values.

Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure

If the ownership of our ordinary shares continues to be highly concentrated, it may prevent you and other minority shareholders from influencing
significant corporate decisions and may result in conflicts of interest.

Funds and accounts affiliated with Cerberus Capital Management, L.P., or Cerberus, own 45.8% of our ordinary shares. As a result, Cerberus may be able to
effectively control fundamental corporate matters and transactions, including the appointment of a majority of our directors, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations or acquisitions, the sale of all or
substantially all of our assets, the amendment of our articles of association and our dissolution. This concentration of ownership may delay, deter or prevent acts that would be favored by our other
shareholders, such as a change of control transaction that would result in the payment of a premium to our other shareholders. In addition, this concentration of share ownership may adversely affect
the trading price of our ordinary shares if the perception among investors exists that owning shares in a company with a significant shareholder is not desirable.

We are a Netherlands public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) and it may be difficult for you to obtain or enforce judgments against us
or our executive officers, some of our directors and some of our named experts in the United States.

We were formed under the laws of The Netherlands and, as such, the rights of holders of our ordinary shares and the civil liability of our directors will be
governed by the laws of The Netherlands and our articles of association. The rights of shareholders under the laws of The Netherlands may differ from the rights of shareholders of companies
incorporated in other jurisdictions. Some of the named experts referred to in this annual report are not residents of the United States, and most of our directors and our executive officers and most
of our assets and the assets of our directors are located outside the United States. In addition, under our articles of association, all lawsuits against us and our directors and executive officers
shall be governed by the laws of The Netherlands and must be brought exclusively before the Courts of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. As a result, you may not be able to serve process on us or on such
persons in the United States or obtain or enforce judgments from U.S. courts against them or us based on the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United
States. There is doubt as to whether the courts of The Netherlands courts would enforce certain civil liabilities under U.S. securities laws in original actions and enforce claims for punitive
damages.

Under
our articles of association, we indemnify and hold our directors, officers and employees harmless against all claims and suits brought against them, subject to limited exceptions.
Under our articles of association, to the extent allowed by law, the rights and obligations among or between us, any of our current or former directors, officers and employees and any current or
former shareholder shall be governed exclusively by the laws of The Netherlands and subject to the jurisdiction of The Netherlands courts, unless such rights or obligations do not relate to or arise
out of their capacities listed above. Although there is doubt as to whether U.S. courts would enforce such provision in an action brought in the United States under U.S. securities laws, such
provision could make judgments obtained outside of The Netherlands more difficult to enforce against our assets in The Netherlands or jurisdictions that would apply Netherlands law.

Our international operations expose us to economic and legal risks associated with a global business.

We conduct our business in many countries, and we anticipate that revenue from our international operations, particularly from the Asia/Pacific region, will
continue to account for a significant amount of our future revenue. There are risks inherent in conducting our business internationally, including:



These
factors may have a material adverse effect on our financial results and growth prospects.

If our subsidiaries do not make distributions to us we will not be able to pay dividends.

Substantially all of our assets are held by and our revenues are generated by our subsidiaries. We will be limited in our ability to pay dividends unless we
receive dividends or other cash flow from our subsidiaries. Substantially all of our owned aircraft are held through special purpose subsidiaries or finance structures which borrow funds to finance or
refinance the aircraft. The terms of such financings place restrictions on distributions of funds to us. If these limitations prevent distributions to us or our subsidiaries do not generate positive
cash flows, we will be limited in our ability to pay dividends and may be unable to transfer funds between subsidiaries if required to support our subsidiaries.

Risks Related to Taxation

We may become a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

We do not believe we will be classified as a PFIC for the current year. The determination as to whether a foreign corporation is a PFIC is a complex determination
based on all of the relevant facts and circumstances and depends on the classification of various assets and income under PFIC rules. In our case, the determination is further complicated by the
application of the PFIC rules to leasing companies and to joint ventures and financing structures common in the aircraft leasing industry. It is unclear how some of these rules apply to us. Further,
this determination must be tested annually and our circumstances may change in any given year. We do not intend to make decisions regarding the purchase and sale of aircraft with the specific purpose
of reducing the likelihood of our becoming a PFIC. Accordingly, our business plan may result in our engaging in activities that could cause us to become a PFIC. If we are or become a PFIC, U.S.
shareholders may be subject to increased U.S. federal income taxes on a sale or other disposition of our ordinary shares and on the receipt of certain distributions and will be subject to increased
U.S. federal income tax reporting requirements. See "Item 10. Additional InformationU.S. Tax Considerations" for a more detailed discussion of the consequences to you if we are
treated as a PFIC and a discussion of certain elections
that may be available to mitigate the effects of that treatment. We urge you to consult your own tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to your particular circumstances.

We may become subject to income or other taxes in jurisdictions which would adversely affect our financial results and growth prospects.

We and our subsidiaries are subject to the income tax laws of Ireland, The Netherlands, Sweden and the United States and other jurisdictions in which our
subsidiaries are incorporated or based. In addition, we or our subsidiaries may be subject to additional income or other taxes in these and other

20

---



jurisdictions
by reason of the management and control of our subsidiaries, our activities and operations, where our aircraft operate or where the lessees of our aircraft (or others in possession of
our aircraft) are located. Although we have adopted guidelines and operating procedures to ensure our subsidiaries are appropriately managed and controlled to reduce the exposure to such additional
taxation, we may be subject to such taxes in the future and such taxes may be substantial. The imposition of such taxes could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and growth
prospects.

We may incur current tax liabilities in our primary operating jurisdictions in the future.

We expect to make current tax payments in some of the jurisdictions where we do business in the normal course of our operations. Our ability to defer the payment
of some level of income taxes to future periods is dependent upon the continued benefit of accelerated tax depreciation on our flight equipment in some jurisdictions, the continued deductibility of
external and intercompany financing arrangements and the application of tax losses prior to their expiration in certain tax jurisdictions, among other factors. The level of current tax payments we
make in any of our primary operating jurisdictions could adversely affect our cash flows and have a material adverse effect on our financial results and growth prospects.

We may become subject to additional Irish taxes based on the extent of our operations carried on in Ireland.

Our Irish tax resident subsidiaries are currently subject to Irish corporate income tax on trading income at a rate of 12.5%, on capital gains at 20%, and on
other income at 25%. We expect that substantially all of our Irish income will be treated as trading income for tax purposes in future periods. As of December 31, 2007, we had
$328.8 million of Irish tax losses available to carry forward against our trading income. The continued application of the 12.5% tax rate to trading income generated in our
Irish tax resident subsidiaries and the ability to carry forward Irish tax losses to shelter future taxable trading income depends in part on the extent and nature of activities carried on in Ireland
both in the past and in the future. AerCap Ireland and its Irish tax resident subsidiaries intend to carry on their activities in Ireland so that the 12.5% rate of tax applicable to trading income
will apply and that they will be entitled to shelter future income with tax losses that arose from the same trading activity. We may not continue to be entitled to apply our loss carryforwards against
future taxable trading income in Ireland.

We may fail to qualify for benefits under one or more tax treaties.

We do not expect that our subsidiaries located outside of the United States will have any material U.S. federal income tax liability by reason of activities we
carry out in the United States and the lease of assets to lessees that operate in the United States. However, this conclusion will depend, in part, on continued qualification for the benefits of
income tax treaties between the United States and other countries in which we are subject to tax (particularly The Netherlands and Ireland). That in turn may depend on the nature and level of
activities carried on by us and our subsidiaries in each jurisdiction, the identity of the owners of equity interests in subsidiaries that are not wholly-owned and the identities of the direct and
indirect owners of our indebtedness.

The
nature of our activities may be such that our subsidiaries may not continue to qualify for the benefits under income tax treaties with the United States and that may not otherwise
qualify for treaty benefits. Failure to so qualify could result in the imposition of U.S. federal taxes which could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and growth prospects.

Item 4.    Information on the Company

We are an integrated global aviation company with a leading market position in aircraft and engine leasing, trading and parts sales. We possess extensive aviation
expertise that permits us to extract value from every stage of an aircraft's lifecycle across a broad range of aircraft and engine types. It is our strategy to acquire aviation assets at attractive
prices, lease the assets to suitable lessees, and manage the funding and other lease related costs efficiently. We also provide aircraft management services and perform aircraft and engine MRO
services and aircraft disassemblies through our certified repair stations. We believe that by applying our expertise through an integrated business model, we will be able to identify and execute on a
broad range of market opportunities that we expect will generate attractive returns for our shareholders. We are headquartered in Amsterdam and have offices in Ireland, the United Kingdom, China,
Texas, Florida and Arizona with a total of 402 people.

We
operate our business on a global basis, providing aircraft, engines and parts to customers in every major geographical region. As of December 31, 2007, we owned 136 aircraft
and 67 engines, managed 68 aircraft, had 98 new aircraft and two new engines on order, had entered into purchase contracts for 13 aircraft, had entered into sales contracts for two aircraft and had
executed letters of intent to purchase an additional three aircraft and sell three aircraft from our owned portfolio.

We
lease most of our aircraft to airlines under operating leases. Under an operating lease, the lessee is responsible for the maintenance and servicing of the equipment during the lease
term and the lessor receives the benefit, and assumes the risk, of the residual value of the equipment at the end of the lease. As of December 31, 2007, our owned and managed aircraft and
engines were leased to 101 commercial airline and cargo operator customers in 48 countries and are managed from our offices in The Netherlands, Ireland, the United Kingdom, China and the United
States. We expect to expand our leasing activity in Asia and in China in particular through our AerDragon joint venture with China Aviation Supplies Import & Export Group Corporation, which
commenced operations in October 2006.

We
have the infrastructure, expertise and resources to execute a large number of diverse aircraft and engine transactions in a variety of market conditions. From January 1, 2005
to December 31, 2007, we have executed over 750 aircraft and engine transactions, including 223 aircraft leases, 134 engine leases, 201 aircraft purchase or sale transactions, 108 engine
purchase or sale transactions and the disassembly of 37 aircraft and 64 engines. Our teams of dedicated marketing and asset trading professionals have
been successful in leasing and trading our aircraft and engine portfolios. Between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2007, our weighted average owned aircraft utilization rate was 98.8%.

We
were formed as a Netherlands public limited liability company ("naamloze vennootschap") on July 10, 2006 to acquire all of the
assets and liabilities of AerCap Holdings C.V., a Netherlands limited partnership. AerCap Holdings C.V. was formed on June 27, 2005 for the purpose of acquiring all of the shares and certain
liabilities of AerCap B.V. (formerly known as debis AirFinance B.V.). On June 30, 2005, AerCap Holdings C.V. acquired all of AerCap B.V.'s shares and the liabilities owed
by AerCap B.V. to its prior shareholders for a total consideration of $1.37 billion, $370.0 million of which was funded with equity contributions from funds and accounts
affiliated with Cerberus Capital Management, L.P., or Cerberus. On April 26, 2006, we acquired all of the existing share capital of AeroTurbine, Inc., an engine trading and
leasing and parts sales company. On October 27, 2006, AerCap Holdings N.V. acquired all of the assets and liabilities of AerCap Holdings C.V. On November 27, 2006, we completed
the initial public offering of 6.8 million of our ordinary shares on The New York Stock Exchange.

Our
principal executive offices are located at Evert van de Beekstraat 312, 1118 CX Schiphol Airport, The Netherlands, and our general telephone number is +31

Our Business Strategy

We intend to pursue the following business strategies:

Leverage Our Ability to Manage Aircraft and Engines Profitably throughout their Lifecycle.We intend
to continue to leverage our integrated business model by selectively:



Our
ability to profitably manage aircraft throughout their lifecycle depends in part our ability to successfully lease aircraft and engines at profitable rates and our ability to source
acquisition opportunities of new and used aircraft at favorable prices.

Expand Our Aircraft and Engine Portfolio.We intend to grow our portfolio of aircraft and engines
through portfolio purchases, new aircraft purchases, airline refleetings, and other opportunistic aircraft and engine purchases. We will rely on our experienced team of aircraft and engine market
professionals to identify and purchase assets we believe are being sold at attractive prices or that we believe will increase in demand and value. In addition, we will continue to rebalance our
aircraft and engine portfolios through acquisitions, sales and selective disassemblies to maintain the appropriate mix of aviation assets to meet our customers' needs.

Focus on High Growth Markets.Although we maintain a geographically diverse portfolio, we focus on
high growth airline markets such as the Asia/Pacific market. In May 2006, we entered into a joint venture with China Aviation Supplies Import & Export Group Corporation, a state-owned aviation
service engaged in the import and export of civil aviation products and the leasing and maintenance of aircraft, engines and aviation parts. This joint venture enhances our presence in the
increasingly important China market and will enhance our ability to lease our aircraft and engines throughout the entire Asia/Pacific region.

Enter into Joint Ventures.We intend to continue to leverage our leading market position, extensive
knowledge of the aircraft and engine leasing markets and aircraft and engine management capabilities by entering into joint ventures that increase our purchasing power and our ability to obtain price
discounts on large aircraft orders. For example, by structuring a large aircraft purchase from Airbus through a 50% owned consolidated joint venture, we were able to increase the number of aircraft we
ordered from 35 to 70 and obtained significantly more favorable terms than would otherwise have been available to us. We also enter into joint ventures for diversification and risk management
purposes. We expect to benefit from greater geographical and product diversity of our entire portfolio through the use of joint venture structures. In addition, we expect to generate fees from our
joint ventures by providing them with aircraft management services.

23

---



Obtain Maintenance Cost Savings.We intend to lower our aircraft and engine maintenance costs by
using aircraft and engine parts we obtain from the selective disassembly of acquired and existing airframes and engines. We intend to achieve further maintenance cost savings by using our FAA and EASA
certified repair station to perform a variety of value-added MRO services on our aircraft and engines that would otherwise be outsourced at significantly higher costs.

Acquire Complementary Businesses.We intend to selectively pursue acquisitions that we believe will
enhance our ability to manage aircraft and engines profitably throughout their lifecycle. The synergies, economies of scale and operating efficiencies we expect to derive from our acquisitions will
allow us to strengthen our competitive advantages and diversify our sources of revenue.

Aircraft

Overview

We operate our aircraft business on a global basis. As of December 31, 2007, we owned and managed 204 aircraft. We owned 130 aircraft in our aircraft
business, managed 68 aircraft and owned an additional six aircraft which we intend to disassemble for the sale of their parts or sell at the end of their leases. As of December 31, 2007, we
leased these aircraft to 81 commercial airline and cargo operator customers in 42 countries. In addition, as of December 31, 2007, we had 68 new Airbus A320 narrowbody aircraft on order through
our consolidated joint venture, AerVenture and 30 new Airbus A330 widebody aircraft on order. We also entered into a purchase contract for 13 aircraft and had
executed letters of intent for the purchase of three additional aircraft. Including all owned and managed aircraft, aircraft under contract or letter of intent and aircraft in our order book, our
portfolio totals 318 aircraft as of December 31, 2007.

Over
the life of the aircraft, we seek to increase the returns on our investments by managing our aircraft's lease rates, time off-lease, financing costs and maintenance
costs, and by carefully timing their sale or disassembly. We lease most of our aircraft to airlines under operating leases. Under an operating lease, the lessee is responsible for the maintenance and
servicing of the equipment during the lease term and the lessor receives the benefit, and assumes the risk, of the residual value of the equipment at the end of the lease. Rather than purchase their
aircraft, many airlines operate their aircraft under operating leases because operating leases reduce their capital requirements and costs and allow them to manage their fleet more efficiently. Over
the past 20 years, the world's airlines have increasingly turned to operating leases to meet their aircraft needs.

Our
contract lease terms generally range from 12 months to 120 months. By varying our lease terms, we mitigate the effects of changes in cyclical market conditions at the
time aircraft become eligible for re-lease. In periods of strong aircraft demand, we seek to enter into medium and long-term leases to lock-in the generally higher
market lease rates during those periods, while, in periods of low aircraft demand we seek to enter into short-term leases to mitigate the effects of the generally lower market lease rates
during those periods. In addition, we generally seek to reduce our leasing transition costs by entering into lease extensions rather than taking re-delivery of the aircraft and leasing it
to a new customer. The terms of our lease extensions reflect the market conditions at the time the lease extension is signed and typically contain different terms than the original lease.

Upon
expiration of an operating lease, we extend the lease term, take redelivery of the aircraft, remarket and re-lease it to new lessees, sell the aircraft, or transfer the
aircraft to our disassembly business for sale of its parts. Typically, we re-lease our leased aircraft well in advance of the expiration of the then current lease and deliver the aircraft
to a new lessee in less than two months following redelivery by the prior lessee. During the period in which an aircraft is in between leases, we typically perform routine inspections and the
maintenance necessary to place the aircraft in the required condition for delivery and, in some cases, make modifications requested by our next lessee.

Our
extensive experience, global reach and operating capabilities allow us to rapidly complete numerous aircraft transactions, which enables us to increase the returns on our aircraft
investments and reduce the time that our aircraft are not generating revenue for us. We successfully executed 428 aircraft transactions between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2007.

The
following tables set forth information regarding the aircraft transactions we have executed between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2007, the number of initial leases
and re-leases we entered into, the number of leases we extended, the number of leases we restructured, the number of aircraft we purchased and the number of aircraft we sold. The trends
shown in the table reflect the execution of the various elements of our leasing strategy for our owned and managed portfolio, as described further below.

The
tables above illustrate how we have implemented our leasing strategies in response to changing trends in the aircraft leasing market. For example, throughout the years presented
above, as strengthening in the commercial airline sector continued, we lengthened the terms of our owned aircraft leases to lock-in the generally higher lease rates prevailing in the
market at the time. Leases of new aircraft generally have longer terms than used aircraft which are re-leased. The average lease term for new leases increased significantly in 2006 due to
the fact that we contracted to lease six aircraft from our order book to one customer, each for nine years. We experienced a lower level of lease extension activity in 2006 and 2007 and a lower level
of re-lease activity in 2007 as we had fewer aircraft requiring remarketing because of the high number of aircraft we re-leased or extended in 2005 that were scheduled to come
off-lease in 2006 and 2007. In 2007, our ability to continue to place aircraft on long lease terms reflects the robustness of demand for our aircraft. For our managed aircraft, the
decrease in re-lease and extension activity is driven by the reduction of numbers of Dornier 328 aircraft under our management contract with Wings as a result of sales of the aircraft.
Average lease terms have lengthened for managed aircraft as is the case for owned aircraft, reflecting the current demand for aircraft capacity worldwide. Lease terms for owned aircraft tend to be
longer than for managed aircraft because the average age of our owned fleet is lower than that of our managed fleet and younger aircraft are generally placed for a longer lease term than older
aircraft.

Before
making any decision to lease an aircraft, we perform a review of the prospective lessee, which generally includes reviewing financial statements, business plans, cash flow
projections, maintenance records, operational performance histories, hedging arrangements for fuel, foreign currency and interest rates and relevant regulatory approvals and documentation. We also
typically perform
on-site credit reviews for new lessees which typically includes extensive discussions with the prospective lessee's management before we enter into a new lease. Depending on the credit
quality and financial condition of the lessee, we may require the lessee to obtain guarantees or other financial support from an acceptable financial institution or other third parties.

We
require our aircraft lessees to provide us with security deposits in order to protect the value of our assets. We require all of our lessees to provide a security deposit for their
performance under their leases, including the return of the aircraft in the specified condition at the expiration of the lease. The size of the security deposit is typically equal to two months' rent.

All
of our lessees are responsible for their maintenance costs during the lease term. Based on the credit quality of the lessee, we require some of our lessees to pay supplemental
maintenance rent to cover scheduled major component maintenance costs. If a lessee pays the supplemental maintenance rent, we reimburse them for their maintenance costs up to the amount of their
supplemental maintenance rent payments. Under the terms of our leases, at lease expiration, to the extent that a lessee has paid us more supplemental maintenance rent than we have reimbursed them for
their maintenance costs, we retain the excess rent. In most lease contracts not requiring the payment of supplemental rents, the lessee is required to re-deliver the aircraft in a similar maintenance
condition as when accepted under the lease. To the extent that the delivery condition is different from the acceptance condition, there is normally an end-of-lease compensation adjustment for the
difference at re-delivery. As of December 31, 2007, 42 of our owned aircraft lessees in respect of 80 owned aircraft provided for the payment of supplemental maintenance rent. Whether a lessee
pays supplemental maintenance rent or not, we typically agree to compensate a lessee for scheduled maintenance on airframe and engines related to the prior utilization of the aircraft. For this prior
utilization, we have typically received compensation from prior lessees.

In
all cases, we require the lessee to reimburse us for any costs we incur if the aircraft is not in the required condition upon redelivery. All of our leases contain extensive
provisions regarding our remedies and rights in the event of a default by the lessee, and specific provisions regarding the required condition of the aircraft upon its redelivery.

Our
lessees are also responsible for compliance with all applicable laws and regulations governing the leased aircraft and all related costs. We require our lessees to comply with either
the FAA, EASA or their foreign equivalent standards.

During
the term of our leases, some of our lessees have experienced financial difficulties resulting in the need to restructure their leases. Generally, our restructurings have involved
a number of possible changes to the lease's terms, including the voluntary termination of leases prior to their scheduled
expiration, the arrangement of subleases from the primary lessee to a sublessee, the rescheduling of lease payments and the exchange of lease payments for other consideration, including convertible
bonds, warrants, shares and promissory notes. We generally seek to receive these and other marketable securities from our restructured leases, rather than deferred receivables. In some cases, we have
been required to repossess a leased aircraft and in those cases, we have typically exported the aircraft from the lessee's jurisdiction to prepare it for remarketing. In the majority of these
situations, we have obtained the lessee's cooperation and the return and export of the aircraft was completed without significant delay, generally within two months. In some situations, however, our
lessees have not cooperated in returning aircraft and we have been required to take legal action. In connection with the repossession of an aircraft, we may be required to settle claims on the
aircraft or to which the lessee is subject, including outstanding liens on the repossessed aircraft. Since our inception in 1995, we have repossessed 49 aircraft under defaulted leases with 22
different lessees in 15 jurisdictions.

Aircraft Portfolio and Existing Lessees

Our aircraft portfolio consists primarily of modern, technologically advanced and fuel-efficient narrowbody aircraft, with a particular concentration
of Airbus A320 family. As of December 31, 2007, we owned and managed 204 aircraft. We owned 130 aircraft, managed 68 aircraft and owned an additional six aircraft, which we intend to
disassemble for the sale of their parts or sell at the end of their leases. Of the 204 aircraft, 197 were on operating lease and seven were off-lease (one owned and six managed). Of the
seven aircraft off-lease, two were subject to our regular remarketing efforts and one aircraft is intended to be disassembled or sold. With respect to the other four aircraft (all
Fairchild Dornier 328s), we have been instructed by the client to market the aircraft for sale, rather than seek to re-lease them. As of December 31, 2007, we leased the
197 aircraft on operating leases to 81 commercial airline and cargo operator customers in 42 countries. The weighted average age of our 130 owned aircraft was 7.4 years as of
December 31, 2007. We believe that we own one of the youngest aircraft fleets in the world.

The
following table provides details regarding our aircraft portfolio by type of aircraft as of December 31, 2007:

In the future we may acquire additional freighter aircraft or convert some of our older A320 family passenger aircraft to freighter aircraft.

Aircraft on Order or Subject to Letters of Intent.

We have a large number of new aircraft on order, either directly or indirectly through our consolidated joint venture, AerVenture, and have signed letters of
intent for the purchase of a number of additional aircraft.

In
January 2006, our consolidated joint venture, AerVenture, placed an order with Airbus for the purchase of 70 new A320 family aircraft. As of December 31, 2007, 68 of the
aircraft remained to be delivered under the agreement. The AerVenture order consisted of 18 A319 aircraft and 50 A320 aircraft remaining to be delivered as of December 31, 2007. The initial
delivery schedule for the AerVenture aircraft includes 12 aircraft to be delivered before the end of 2008 and 58 aircraft to be delivered before the end of 2010.

In
December 2006, we placed an order with Airbus to acquire 20 new A330-200 widebody aircraft. In May 2007, we added an additional ten A330-200 aircraft to this
order. The delivery schedule for the 30 A330-200 aircraft order includes two aircraft to be delivered in 2008, eight aircraft in 2009, ten in 2010, four in 2011 and six in 2012.

Aircraft Subject to Purchase and Sale Agreements and Letters of Intent.Although we expect to be able in each case to
negotiate and agree on final documentation with respect to our letters of intent, we may not be able to do so and therefore these transactions may not in fact occur.

In
addition to the above, we are in exclusive discussions with an aircraft owner for the purchase and leaseback of 11 Boeing 737-800 aircraft and ten other aircraft, consisting of
Boeing 757-200s, 737-400s and 767-300s. We intend to purchase these aircraft through a joint venture company, of which we expect to own 50%. If we are able
to reach agreement on the terms of the purchase with the seller and the terms of the joint venture with our joint venture partner, we expect this transaction to close in 2008.

Aircraft Acquisitions and Dispositions

From January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2007, we purchased 90 aircraft and sold 111 aircraft. In addition, as of December 31, 2007, we
had negotiated and entered into contracts to purchase an additional 98 new aircraft, 30 directly and 68 through a joint venture, entered into a purchase contract to purchase eight used aircraft and
have executed letters of intent to purchase an additional three aircraft. By selling our subordinated interests in securitization vehicles at two different occasions in past years, we also disposed of
two large portfolios of aircraft totaling 272 aircraft. In addition, on May 11, 2007, we signed an agreement with Airbus for the purchase of an additional ten A330s, bringing the total number
of new aircraft on order to 98 aircraft which remained to be delivered on December 31, 2007. We have a portfolio management team of 24 professionals who are dedicated to sourcing, analyzing and
executing aircraft and engine acquisition and disposition opportunities.

Due
to the AeroTurbine Acquisition and our large order book of aircraft, we believe that we are well positioned to take advantage of trading opportunities and expand our aircraft
portfolio. We believe that our global network of strong relationships with airlines, aircraft manufacturers, MRO service

32

---



providers
and commercial and financial institutions gives us a competitive advantage in sourcing and executing transactions.

We
purchase new and used aircraft directly from aircraft manufacturers, airlines, financial investors and other aircraft leasing and finance companies. The aircraft we purchase are both
on-lease and off-lease, depending on market conditions and the composition of our portfolio. We believe there are additional opportunities to purchase aircraft at attractive
prices from investors in aircraft assets who lack the infrastructure to manage their aircraft throughout their lifecycle. The buyers of our aircraft include airlines, financial investors and other
aircraft leasing companies. We primarily acquire aircraft at attractive prices in two ways: by purchasing large quantities of aircraft directly from manufacturers to take advantage of volume
discounts, and by purchasing portfolios consisting of aircraft of varying types and ages. In addition, we also opportunistically purchase individual aircraft that we believe are being sold at
attractive prices, or that we expect will increase in demand and or residual value. Through our airline marketing team, which is in frequent contact with airlines worldwide, we are also able to
identify attractive acquisition and disposition opportunities. We sell our aircraft when we believe the market price for the type of aircraft has reached its peak, or to rebalance the composition of
our portfolio to meet changing customer demands.

Our
dedicated portfolio management group consists of marketing, financial, engineering, technical and credit professionals. Prior to a purchase, this group analyzes the aircraft's price,
fit in our portfolio, specification/configuration, maintenance history and condition, the existing lease terms, financial condition and credit-worthiness of the existing lessee, the jurisdiction of
the lessee, industry trends, financing arrangements and the aircraft's redeployment potential and value, among other factors.

Our
revolving credit facilities are designed to allow us to rapidly execute our trading strategies by providing us with large-scale committed funding to acquire new and used aircraft,
engines and parts. As of December 31, 2007, we had $938.9 million of committed undrawn credit facilities that allow us to purchase aircraft of up to 15 years of age and
$216.8 million of committed undrawn credit facilities that allow us to purchase a broad variety of aircraft, engine and part types of any age. In connection with the refinancing of Aircraft
Lease Securitization in 2007, we repaid $165.8 million of bank debt thereby increasing availability under our commercial bank financings, including our revolving credit facility. We also have
$928.1 million of undrawn amounts under borrowing facilities with commercial banks, including facilities guaranteed by European export credit agencies.

Joint Ventures

We expect to conduct an increasing portion of our business in the future through joint ventures. Entering into joint venture arrangements allows us to:



AerVenture.In December 2005, we established AerVenture. In January 2006, LoadAir, an investment and construction company
based in Kuwait City, purchased a 50% equity interest in AerVenture. We have invested $25.0 million in AerVenture and LoadAir has invested $25.0 million in AerVenture. We have each
agreed to make additional equity contributions of up to $100.0 million. We consolidate AerVenture's financial results in our financial statements. We have developed AerVenture as a joint
venture because this structure allows us to leverage our buying power to achieve more favorable aircraft acquisition terms. We have entered into exclusive agreements to provide management and
marketing services to AerVenture in return for aircraft management fees and specified incentive fees which are tied to the profitability of AerVenture. Payments under these agreements will not

33

---



provide
any additional revenues as a result of consolidation. These agreements may be terminated by AerVenture in 2014. We consolidate AerVenture's financial results in our financial statements.

In
January 2006, AerVenture placed an order with Airbus for up to 70 new A320 family aircraft originally scheduled for delivery between 2007 and 2010. Subsequently, AerVenture signed an
amendment to the agreement that deferred two deliveries to 2011. In addition, in 2007 AerVenture entered into an amendment under its Airbus contract pursuant to which delivery positions for seven
aircraft under the contract were effectively transferred to a third-party buyer. Because retention of the total economic benefit of the transaction to AerVenture is subject to performance criteria by
AerVenture and the third-party buyer and subject to ultimate delivery of the aircraft to the third-party buyer, sales recognition for financial reporting purposes has been deferred until delivery of
each aircraft. For consistency with the accounting treatment for this amendment, we will continue to include these seven positions as aircraft under order until the third-party has fulfilled its
obligations under the amendment and taken delivery of these aircraft.

AerVenture
closed a credit facility for a total amount of $119.0, and subsequently increased the size of the facility to $207.5 million that will finance the
pre-delivery payments on the first 30 aircraft to be delivered. Upon delivery of the aircraft, AerVenture will be required to arrange financing to cover the entire purchase price,
including refinancing the pre-delivery payments, which is not covered by the joint venture's equity contributions. The first two deliveries occurred in 2007 and were financed by AerCap's
$1 billion warehouse facility. The remaining delivery schedule includes 10 aircraft to be delivered in 2008 and 58 aircraft to be delivered between 2009 and 2011.

AerDragon.In May 2006, we signed a joint venture agreement with China Aviation Supplies Import & Export Group
Corporation and affiliates of Calyon establishing AerDragon. AerDragon consists of two companies, Dragon Aviation Leasing Company Limited, based in Beijing with a registered capital of
$10.0 million and AerDragon Aviation Partners Limited, based in Ireland with a registered capital of $50.0 million. AerDragon is 50% owned by China Aviation and 25% owned by each of us
and Calyon. Following receipt of the local Chinese approvals required for it to begin operations, AerDragon commenced operations in October 2006. We act as the exclusive aircraft manager for the joint
venture. This contract may be terminated upon the earlier to occur of either July 1, 2009, or the occurrence of specified events, such as AerDragon developing the expertise to manage its own
aircraft. In the future, one of the main sources of aircraft for AerDragon is likely to be the acquisition of aircraft through sale leaseback transactions with Chinese airlines. This joint venture
enhances our presence in the
increasingly important China market and will enhance our ability to lease our aircraft and engines throughout the entire Asia/Pacific region. As of December 31, 2007, we do not consolidate
AerDragon's financial results in our financial statements. AerDragon acquired its first aircraft, an Airbus A320 aircraft in February 2007. This aircraft was acquired directly from Airbus through an
assignment of our purchase right under our 1999 agreement with Airbus. In October 2007, AerDragon acquired its second A320 aircraft directly from us and we guaranteed the performance of AerDragon
under debt secured by the purchased aircraft. In December 2007, AerDragon signed a forward order agreement with Airbus for the delivery of 12 A320 family aircraft.

Annabel and Bella.In 2005, we signed a joint venture agreement with Deucalion Capital Limited to form the Annabel joint
venture in which we hold a 27% equity interest. Annabel purchased a used A340 aircraft in 2005. The aircraft is on lease to Sri Lanka Airlines through 2015. In 2006, we signed a joint venture
agreement with Deucalion to form the Bella joint venture in which we hold a 50% equity interest. Bella purchased two used Airbus A330-322 aircraft in April 2006, one of which is on lease
through 2009 and one of which is on lease through 2013. We receive fee income for providing aircraft management services to both Annabel and Bella. We consolidate Bella's financial results in our
financial statements but do not consolidate Annabel's financial results in our financial statements. We do not expect these joint ventures to acquire any more aircraft.

Relationship with Airbus

We have a close and longstanding mutually advantageous relationship with Airbus. Our relationship dates back to our formation, when DaimlerChrysler AG (formerly
known as Daimler-Benz AG), a principal shareholder of European Aeronautic Defense & Space CompanyEADS N.V., an 80% shareholder of Airbus, was one of our founding
shareholders. In the last 10 years, we, directly or through our joint ventures, have contracted to purchase over 100 new commercial jet aircraft from Airbus and 24 used aircraft from Airbus. We
maintain a wide-ranging dialogue with Airbus seeking mutually beneficial opportunities such as taking delivery of new aircraft on short notice and purchasing used aircraft from airlines
seeking to renew their fleet with Airbus aircraft.

Aircraft Services

We are one of the aircraft industry's leading providers of aircraft asset management and corporate services to securitization vehicles, joint ventures and other
third parties. As of December 31, 2007, we had aircraft management and administration service contracts with eight parties covering over 199
aircraft (including the 68 aircraft on order by AerVenture), two of which accounted for 71% of our aircraft services revenue in 2007. We categorize our aircraft services into aircraft asset
management, administrative services and cash management services. Since we have an established operating system to provide these services to manage our own aircraft assets, the incremental cost of
providing aircraft management services to securitization vehicles, joint ventures and third parties is limited. Our primary aircraft asset management activities are:



We
charge fees for our aircraft management services based primarily on a mixture of fixed retainer amounts, but we also receive performance-based fees related to the managed aircrafts'
lease revenue or sale proceeds, or specific upside sharing arrangements.

We
provide cash management and administrative services to securitization vehicles and joint ventures. As of December 31, 2007, we had four cash management agreements with clients
holding an aggregate of 243 aircraft in their portfolios and five administrative agency agreements with clients holding an aggregate of 308 aircraft in their portfolios. Cash management services
consist of treasury services such as the financing, refinancing, hedging and on going cash management of these vehicles. Our administrative services consist primarily of accounting and secretarial
services, including the preparation of budgets and financial statements, and liaising with, in the case of securitization vehicles, the rating agencies.

Engine and Parts

Overview

On April 26, 2006, we acquired all of the share capital of AeroTurbine. AeroTurbine was established in 1997 and is engaged in engine trading and leasing
and the disassembly of airframes and engines for the sale of their component parts to the global aviation industry. We acquired AeroTurbine to:



To
facilitate the integration of AeroTurbine, we have entered into three year employment contracts with key members of its senior management. In addition, our indirect shareholders
granted key members of AeroTurbine's senior management indirect equity interests in us and other members of senior management were granted stock options directly in us, so that they share a vested
interest in achieving the successful integration of our aircraft business with AeroTurbine's engine and parts business.

Engine Acquisitions and Dispositions

Engine sales and purchases is a core part of our engine and parts business. We believe that our market insight and recurring customer relationships have been the
key factors underlying our success in this business. In addition, we opportunistically acquire engines that require maintenance work and refurbish those engines in our MRO operations. By pursuing
these acquisition strategies, we believe we have been able to acquire our engines at attractive prices.

We
purchase engines for which there is high market demand or for which we believe demand will increase in the future. We opportunistically sell and exchange engines when we believe that
the realizable value from a sale or exchange will equal or exceed the realizable value that we would expect to receive from leasing or disassembling the engine for the sale of its parts.

In
determining whether to purchase or sell an engine, we assess the value of each engine according to a number of factors, including its hardware composition, airworthiness directive
compliance and service bulletin status, life-limited parts thresholds, historical maintenance documentation, performance data and material certifications.

Our
extensive experience buying, selling, leasing, repairing and disassembling engines for their parts has provided us with in-depth trading and management expertise across
the most popular commercial product lines manufactured by General Electric, CFM International, Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce and International Aero Engines. We conduct extensive technical and
maintenance records due diligence before we purchase each engine. Our experienced team of dedicated acquisition and maintenance professionals is composed of 79 licensed aircraft and engine mechanics,
15 licensed inspectors and 12 aircraft maintenance record specialists who track and document the maintenance history of each engine and airframe that is to be acquired. We are frequently able to
correct or reconstruct engine maintenance records, which can lower the maintenance and acquisition cost of our engines and aircraft. Since commencing operations in 1997, AeroTurbine has sold over 318
engines, generating revenues in excess of $278 million.

We
typically finance the purchase of engines with borrowed funds and internally generated cash flows. We believe that we are able to react more rapidly to engine acquisition
opportunities than most of our competitors because we have substantial committed financing and can often identify, conduct due diligence and close on prospective acquisitions in less than one week. We
have a $328.0 million committed revolving facility which we can use to fund acquisitions of aircraft, engines and aircraft parts. As of December 31, 2007, we had $216.8 million of
funds available under our revolving facility.

Engine Portfolio

We maintain a diverse inventory of high-demand, modern and fuel-efficient engines. As of December 31, 2007, we owned 67 engines and
had two new engines on order through AerVenture. Our engine portfolio consists primarily of CFM56 series engines, one of the most widely used engines in the commercial aviation market. As of
December 31, 2007, 54 of our 67 engines were CFM56 series engines manufactured by CFM International. In August 2006, AerVenture entered into a contract with CFM International to acquire four
new spare CFM 56-5B and two new spare CFM 56-7B engines. At December 31, 2007, there were two remaining CFM56-7B engines to be delivered in June and
September 2008.

We
expect to expand and further diversify our engine portfolio in the future through engine acquisitions and aircraft disassemblies. As our aircraft portfolio ages, and specific aircraft
become suitable for disassembly, we intend to disassemble such aircraft and remove high demand engines for addition to our engine portfolio, while the remaining airframes and engines will be
disassembled for sale of their component parts.

We
have the ability to perform limited MRO services on CFM56 series engines, which comprise most of the engines in our engine portfolio. As we obtain sufficient numbers of other engine
models, we intend to further develop additional in-house MRO capabilities to achieve greater cost advantages.

Airframe and Engine Disassembly and Parts Sales

Over time, the combined value of a typical aircraft's parts will eventually exceed the value of the aircraft as a whole operating asset, at which time the
aircraft may be retired from service. Traditional aircraft lessors and airlines often retire their aircraft by selling or consigning them to companies that specialize in aircraft and engine
disassembly. The AeroTurbine Acquisition has allowed us to incorporate this valuable revenue source into our integrated business model, which is focused on managing aircraft and engines throughout
their lifecycle.

We
sell airframe parts primarily to aircraft parts distributors and MRO service providers. Airframe parts comprise a broad range of aircraft sub-component groups, including
avionics, hydraulics and pneumatic systems, auxiliary power units, landing gear, interiors, flight control surfaces, windows and panels. We have disassembled 63 aircraft for the sale of their parts
and we believe that we were among the first to voluntarily and strategically disassemble Airbus A320 and A340 family aircraft. Our aircraft disassembly operations are focused on the strategic
acquisition of aircraft with engines that are among the most sought after in the secondary market.

We
are focused on developing long-term supply relationships with clients that perform MRO services on aircraft and engines. Parts sales allow us to increase the value of our
aircraft and engine assets by putting each sub-component (engines, airframes and related parts) to its most profitable use (sale, lease, and/or disassembly for parts sales). In addition,
this capability provides us with an additional cost advantage over our non-integrated competitors by providing us with a critical source of low cost replacement engines and parts to
support the maintenance of our aircraft and engine portfolios.

Prior
to the acquisition of our Goodyear facility, we outsourced the physical disassembly of our airframes into parts, but sold the airframe parts ourselves.

Engine Leasing

Generally, it is uneconomical for aircraft operators with small aircraft fleets to own the quantity of spare engines required to adequately cover their
operational requirements. As a result, aircraft operators often lease spare engines when they send out their engines for off-site MRO. Spare engines are generally leased either directly
from engine lessors like us, or from the MRO service provider that

37

---



is
repairing the aircraft operator's engine. To meet their clients' needs, MRO service providers often lease engines from engine lessors. We are focused on the short-term engine lease
market with a typical lease term of 60 to 180 days. Short-term engine leases tend to have higher lease rates than long-term leases, because lessees require the engines
on short notice and are willing to pay a premium for the flexibility of a short-term lease. Engines subject to short-term leases typically spend more time
off-lease, while they are released with greater frequency.

The
short-term engine leasing market has also developed in part in response to airlines' need to rapidly place aircraft back in service in the event of an unexpected engine
problem. Short-term engine leases provide an alternative to owning spare engines or entering into long-term leases, where the engines can needlessly sit idle for long periods.
To meet
clients' urgent engine leasing needs, we typically maintain a substantial inventory of ready-to-lease engines in our off-lease inventory. We believe that our
ability to modify and configure most of our lease portfolio engines is an important competitive advantage, since it can facilitate the rapid installation of our engines onto our customers' aircraft.
In addition, we have the capability to provide limited on-site maintenance and repair for most of our leased engines which, in some circumstances, enables us to facilitate the return to
service of our customers' grounded aircraft.

Our
engine leasing customer base is comprised of a wide variety of airlines and cargo and charter operators, in addition to MRO service providers, and other aircraft and engine leasing
companies. As of December 31, 2007, we had engines on lease to 27 customers located in 18 countries.

We
generally receive a fixed rental payment for our leased engines plus a variable rental payment based on the use of the engine. We typically receive monthly rent for our engines in
advance, and additional rent for actual engine operation in arrears to compensate us for the anticipated future maintenance costs of such engines. Our engine lessees generally provide us with a
security deposit in the amount of two months rent, in addition to which we receive the first month's rental payment in advance.

On
a few occasions, our engine lessees have experienced financial difficulties, requiring us to terminate or restructure our engine leases with the lessee. Over the past nine years, we
have only had to resort to legal action for the repossession of engines with two of our lease customers.

Airframe MRO Capability

On August 4, 2006, we leased an aircraft MRO facility located in Goodyear, Arizona, acquired certain assets and hired 74 of the employees working at the
facility. In connection with this lease, we acquired an additional certified repair station which is certified by the FAA and EASA and associated equipment which permits us to perform a variety of MRO
services on commercial transport aircraft, including aircraft heavy maintenance, limited powerplant repair to engine and line components, which includes starters, generators, hydraulic pumps, and
quick engine changes installation. The Goodyear facility includes a 226,000 square foot hangar with the ability to house up to four widebody aircraft, or eight narrowbody aircraft for the purpose of
performing heavy maintenance repairs, aircraft disassemblies and engine changes. The ramp area outside of the hangar can facilitate both short and long term storage of up to 14 aircraft. In addition
to the hangar and ramp space, there is a significant storage field capable of storing over 100 aircraft. This transaction was primarily made to reduce our cost of aircraft disassembly and to support
the expansion of our airframe parts distribution business. Since integration of the Goodyear facility, we have disassembled seven customer owned aircraft. In 2007, we disassembled 10 aircraft and
performed heavy airframe maintenance, or a C2 check, on an AerCap managed aircraft, a C2 check on a customer B757-200 and a D check on an MD87 owned with a joint venture partner.

Financing

Our management analyzes sources of financing based on the pricing and other terms and conditions in order to optimize the return on our investments. We have the
ability to access the bank, governmental secured debt, securitization and debt capital markets. We generally do not engage in financing transactions for individual aircraft or engines. In April 2006,
we entered into a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by UBS to facilitate our growth strategy and the acquisition of aircraft up to 15 years of age.
Simultaneously with the AeroTurbine Acquisition and the closing of the UBS facility, we put in place a $171.0 million facility which was later increased to $328.0 million that enables us
to acquire eligible aircraft engines and parts of any age. These facilities provide us with large scale committed financing that will allow us to rapidly execute aircraft portfolio purchases.

Once
we obtain sufficient aircraft through our revolving credit facilities, we generally leverage our extensive financing experience and access to the securitization and other
long-term debt markets to obtain long-term, lower cost non-recourse financing. Since 1996, we have raised over $20 billion of funding in the global financial
markets including over $9 billion of funds through initial issuances and refinancings in the aircraft securitization market. Most recently, in May 2007, we completed a $1.66 billion
securitization of 70 aircraft subject to operating leases. This securitization was a refinancing of our 2005 securitization. In the refinancing, we added 28 aircraft to the securitization, including
24 which had been previously secured by a variety of other debt structures and four which had yet to be purchased by us.

Subsidiaries

AerCap Holdings N.V.'s major subsidiaries during 2007 were AerCap B.V., AeroTurbine Inc., AerCap Ireland Ltd., Sunflower Aircraft
Leasing Ltd., AerCap Aircraft Leasing XXX B.V., AerCap Dutch Aircraft Leasing I B.V and AerCap Leasing XXII B.V. (sold to a third-party prior to December 31, 2007 after the
sale of its interest in a single aircraft). AerCap Holdings N.V. has numerous other subsidiaries, none of which contribute more than 5% of our consolidated revenues or represent more than 5% of
our total assets.

operations
in The Netherlands, our employees have not elected to date to organize a works council. A works council is an employee organization that is granted certain statutory rights to be involved
in certain of the company's decision making processes. The exercise of such rights, however, must take into account the interests of the company and its shareholders.

Organizational Structure

AerCap Holdings N.V. is a holding company which holds directly and indirectly consolidated investments in six main operating companies, most of which in
turn own special purpose entities which hold our aircraft and engine assets. AerCap Holdings N.V. employs 19 people and does not own significant assets outside of its investments in its
subsidiaries. Within the group, we also have several inactive subsidiaries or subsidiaries which are in the process of being liquidated. In addition to AerCap Holdings N.V.'s ownership in our
principal operating subsidiaries, it holds our economic interests in AerVenture (two aircraft with 68 aircraft on order) which in turn holds the economic interests in AerFunding (two aircraft). The
six principal operating subsidiaries, their share ownership and the identity of their significant asset-owning subsidiaries is detailed below.

AerCap B.V.is owned 100% by AerCap Holdings N.V. AerCap B.V. is located in Amsterdam, Netherlands,. and through its
special purpose subsidiaries, owns the economic interests in 39 aircraft. AerCap B.V. does not employ any personnel.

AerCap Group Services B.V.is owned 100% by AerCap Holdings N.V. AerCap Group Services, B.V. is located in Amsterdam,
Netherlands and employed 56 people as of December 31, 2007. AerCap Group Services B.V. does not own significant assets, but provides a range of services to other asset-owning companies
in the AerCap group of companies.

AerData B.V.is owned 51% by AerCap Holdings N.V. and 49% by senior management of AerData B.V. AerData B.V.
was established in 2007 to provide aviation lease management software IT services to the AerCap group of companies and third parties. AerData B.V. employed 13 people as of December 31,
2007.

AerCap Ireland Limitedis indirectly owned 100% by AerCap Holdings N.V. AerCap Ireland Limited is located in Shannon, Ireland,
employed 42 people as of December 31, 2007 and holds our economic interests in Aircraft Lease Securitisation Limited (65 aircraft) and Bella (two aircraft). In addition, AerCap Ireland Limited
owns 22 aircraft directly or through single aircraft-owning special purpose entities. AerCap Ireland Limited is also the holder of our joint venture investments in AerDragon (two aircraft) and Annabel
(one aircraft).

AerCap, Inc.is owned 100% by AerCap Holdings N.V. AerCap, Inc. is located in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
AerCap, Inc. does not employ any personnel. AerCap, Inc. owns 100% of AerCap Group Services, Inc., which employed 19 people as of December 31, 2007 and provides a range of
services to other asset-owning companies in the AerCap group of companies. AerCap, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (excluding AeroTurbine, Inc.) are the lessees under six
lease-in, lease-out transactions and own one aircraft. AerCap, Inc. owns 100% of the share capital of AeroTurbine, Inc.

AeroTurbine, Incis owned 100% by AerCap, Inc. AeroTurbine, Inc. is located in Miami, Florida, has a facility in Goodyear,
Arizona and employed 253 people as of December 31, 2007. AeroTurbine, Inc. owns 59 engines, nine aircraft which are designated for disassembly and part-out and an inventory
of aircraft and engine parts for sale.

Competition

The aircraft leasing and sales business is highly competitive. We face competition from aircraft manufacturers, financial institutions, other leasing companies,
aircraft brokers and airlines. Competition for a leasing transaction is based on a number of factors, including delivery dates, lease rates, term of

40

---



lease,
other lease provisions, aircraft condition and the availability in the market place of the types of aircraft that can meet the needs of the customer. As a result of our geographical reach,
diverse aircraft portfolio and success in remarketing our aircraft, we believe we are a strong competitor in all of these areas; however, some of our competitors such as GE Commercial Aviation Service
and International Lease Finance Corporation, have significantly larger and more diversified aircraft portfolios and greater access to financing than we do. As of December 2007, GE Commercial Aviation
Service and International Lease Finance Corporation together, according to Airclaims Client Aviation System Enquiry Database, represent approximately 35% of the operating lease market and 39% of the
orders from Boeing and Airbus held by operating lessors.

The
engine leasing industry is fragmented and is also highly competitive. The engine leasing industry is generally divided into two principal competitive segments: short-term
engine lessors that focus on providing temporary spare engine support while a customer's engine requires off-site MRO (typical 60 to 90 day lease periods) and long-term
engine lessors that focus on providing spare or primary engines to operators as an alternative to ownership of the engine by the lessee (typical lease periods of over one year). Though we are much
more active in the short-term engine leasing segment, we compete in both lease segments. The engine leasing market is primarily comprised of six major engine leasing companies, including
ourselves. We believe we are a strong competitor, particularly in the short-term engine leasing segment, due to our rapid response in-house MRO capabilities; however, some of
our competitors such as GE Engine Leasing, Shannon Engine Support, Engine Lease Finance, Pratt & Whitney Engine Leasing LLC, Rolls Royce and Partners Finance and Willis Lease Finance,
have significantly larger and more diversified engine portfolios and greater access to financing than we do. We also encounter competition from airlines, financial institutions, engine brokers,
consignment agencies and special purpose entities with investment objectives similar to ours.

The
aircraft parts market is generally divided into two principal segments, consisting of (i) airframe parts sales and (ii) engine parts sales specialists. While we compete
in both markets with a few large companies, we also separately compete with numerous other parts sales organizations, MRO service providers, original equipment manufacturers, commercial airlines and
many smaller competitors primarily in the U.S. and Europe. Additionally, there are numerous small brokers and traders that generally sell from limited inventories and participate in niche markets.
Competition in the aircraft and engine parts markets is based on quality, ability to provide a timely and consistent source of materials, ability to provide a multiple range of desirable products,
speed of delivery and pricing.

Insurance

Our lessees are required under our leases to bear responsibility, through an operational indemnity subject to customary exclusions, and to carry insurance for,
any liabilities arising out of the operation of our aircraft or engines, including any liabilities for death or injury to persons and damage to property that ordinarily would attach to the operator of
the aircraft or engine. In addition, our lessees are required to carry other types of insurance that are customary in the air transportation industry, including hull all risks insurance for both the
aircraft and each engine whether or not installed on our aircraft, hull war risks insurance covering risks such as hijacking, terrorism, confiscation, expropriation, nationalization and seizure (in
each case at a value stipulated in the relevant lease which typically exceeds the net book value by 10%, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances) and aircraft spares insurance and aircraft
third-party liability insurance, in each case subject to customary deductibles. We are named as an additional insured on liability insurance policies carried by our lessees, and we and/or our lenders
are designated as a loss payee in the event of a total loss of the aircraft or engine. We monitor the compliance by our lessees with the insurance provisions of our leases by securing confirmation of
coverage from the insurance brokers. We also purchase insurance which provides us with coverage when our aircraft or engines are not subject to a lease or where a lessee's policy lapses for any
reason. In addition we carry customary insurance for our property and parts inventory, and we

41

---



also
maintain customary product liability insurance covering liabilities arising from our aircraft, engine and aviation parts trading activities. Insurance experts advise and make recommendations to
us as to the appropriate amount of insurance coverage that we should obtain.

Regulation

While the air transportation industry is highly regulated, since we do not operate aircraft, we generally are not directly subject to most of these regulations.
However, our lessees are subject to extensive regulation under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they are registered and in which they operate. These regulations, among other things, govern the
registration, operation and maintenance of our aircraft and engines. Most of our aircraft are registered in the jurisdiction in which the lessee of the aircraft is certified as an air operator. Both
our aircraft and engines are subject to the airworthiness and other standards imposed by our lessees' jurisdictions of operation. Laws affecting the airworthiness of aviation assets are generally
designed to ensure that all aircraft, engines and related equipment are continuously maintained in proper condition to enable safe operation of the aircraft. Most countries' aviation laws require
aircraft and engines to be maintained under an approved maintenance program having defined procedures and intervals for inspection, maintenance and repair.

In
addition, under our leases, we may be required in some instances to obtain specific licenses, consents or approvals for different aspects of the leases. These required items include
consents from governmental or regulatory authorities for certain payments under the leases and for the import,
re-export or deregistration of the aircraft and engines. Also, to perform some of our cash management services and insurance services from Ireland under our management arrangements with
our joint ventures and securitization entities, we are required to have a license from the Irish regulatory authorities which we have obtained.

With
regard to our MRO activities, we maintain FAA and EASA certifications to conduct limited repair station tasks on engines. These certifications are subject to periodic review, and
involve regulatory oversight and audit of the respective personnel and procedures utilized to conduct MRO services to aircraft, engines and components thereof, so as to ensure that our repair station
managers and mechanics are properly qualified to perform the work for which we are certified. In addition, our MRO facility is subject to environmental regulation regarding, among other things, the
use, storage and disposal of certain hazardous material.

Facilities

We are relocating from our current Headquarters in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, to a 37,000 square foot office facility in April 2008. The new office has been
contracted under a five year lease which commences on April 1, 2008. Our existing office lease will be terminated at that date. We also lease a 31,000 square foot facility in Shannon, Ireland.
We lease our Shannon facility under a 20 year lease which began January 26, 2000 and have an option to terminate after ten years. In addition, we lease an 8,000 square foot facility in
Fort Lauderdale, Florida under a ten year lease which began in February 1999.

We
have a ten year lease, which began on January 1, 2004 for a 150,000 square foot complex located near the Miami International Airport that we use as an office and warehouse. We
lease our Goodyear facility, includes a 226,000 square foot hangar and substantial additional space for aircraft outdoor storage, pursuant to a long-term lease that expires in 2026.

In
addition to the above facilities, we also lease small offices in Irvine (Texas), Beijing (China) and Brighton (U.K).

Trademarks

We have registered the "AerCap" name with WIPO International (Madrid) Registry and the Benelux-Merkenbureau. The "AerCap" trademark and the AeroTurbine name have
been registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Litigation

In the ordinary course of our business, we are a party to various legal actions, which we believe are incidental to the operation of our business. We believe that
the outcome of the proceedings to which we are currently a party will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

VASP Litigation

We leased 13 aircraft and three spare engines to Viacao Aerea de Sao Paulo, or VASP, a Brazilian airline. In 1992, VASP defaulted on its lease obligations and we
commenced litigation against VASP to repossess our aircraft. In 1992, we obtained a preliminary injunction for the repossession and export of 13 aircraft and three spare engines from VASP. We
repossessed and exported the aircraft and engines in 1992. VASP appealed this decision. In 1996, the High Court of the State of Sao Paulo ruled in favor of VASP on its appeal. We were instructed to
return the aircraft and engines to VASP for lease under the terms of the original lease agreements. The High Court also granted VASP the right to seek damages in lieu of the return of the aircraft and
engines. Since 1996 we have pursued this case in the Brazilian courts through various motions and appeals. On March 1, 2006, the Superior Court of Justice dismissed our most recent appeal and
on April 5, 2006 a special panel of the Superior Court of Justice confirmed the Superior Court of Justice decision. On May 15, 2006 we appealed this decision to the Federal Supreme
Court. On February 23, 2006, VASP commenced a procedure for the calculation of the award for damages and since then both we and VASP have appointed experts to assist the court in calculating
damages. Our external legal counsel has advised us that even if we lose on the merits, they do not believe that VASP will be able to demonstrate any damages. We continue to actively pursue all courses
of action that may be available to us and intend to defend our position vigorously.

In
July 2006, we commenced a claim for damages in the English courts against VASP based on the damages we incurred as a result of the default by VASP under seven lease obligations. VASP
was served process in Brazil in October 2007 and in response has filed an application to challenge the jurisdiction of the English court which we will oppose. VASP have applied to the Court to adjourn
the date for the hearing of its application to challenge the jurisdiction of the English Court pending the sale of some of it's assets in Brazil. We have opposed this application and in a hearing on
March 5, 2008, VASP's application was dismissed.

Swedish Tax Dispute

In 2001, Swedish tax authorities challenged the position we took in tax returns we filed for the years 1999 and 2000 with respect to certain deductions. In
accordance with Swedish law, we made a guaranty payment to the tax authority of $16.8 million in 2003. We appealed the decision of the tax authorities, and, in August 2004, a Swedish Court
issued a ruling in our favor which resulted in a tax refund of $19.9 million (which included interest and the effect of foreign exchange movements for the intervening period). In September
2004, the Swedish tax authorities appealed the decision of the Court and filed an appeal with the Administrative Court of Appeal in Sweden. We have responded to this appeal and have requested an oral
hearing on the matter. The Court has responded that they would schedule an oral hearing, but we have not yet received notice of the timing of such hearing. Our management, based on the advice of our
tax advisors, has determined that it is not necessary to make any provisions for this tax dispute.

Item 5.    Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

You should read this discussion in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this
annual report. Our financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or US GAAP. The discussion below contains
forward looking statements that are based upon our current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes of circumstances. See "Item 3. Key InformationRisk Factors" and
"Special Note About Forward-Looking Statements".

Overview

The industry environment in 2007 was characterized by strong demand and tight supply for aircraft, with international airline traffic growth reported at 7.4% for
the year. Overall, the industry saw the strong growth of airlines in emerging markets, particularly in markets such as China, the Middle East and Latin America and a significantly improved financial
performance of the U.S. airline industry. With the growth of the industry, we have also experienced increased competition from other aircraft lessors in the market. We have the infrastructure,
expertise and resources to execute a large number of diverse aircraft and engine transactions in a variety of market conditions. From January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2007, we executed
over 750 aircraft and engine transactions, including 223 aircraft leases, 134 engine leases, 201 aircraft purchase or sale transactions, 108 engine purchase or sale transactions and the disassembly of
37 aircraft and 64 engines. Our teams of dedicated marketing and asset trading professionals have been successful in leasing and trading our aircraft and engine portfolios, and
between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2007, our weighted average owned aircraft utilization rate was 98.8%.

Major Developments in 2007



Results of Operations

Net income for the full year 2007 was $188.5 million. Net income excluding non-cash charges relating to the
mark-to-market of interest rate caps and share-based compensation was $210.6 million.

---



The
after-tax charge relating to the mark-to-market of our interest rate caps was $12.6 million and the after-tax charge from share-based
compensation was $9.5 million. Our net income for the full year 2007 also includes a charge of $24.0 million, net of tax, related to the refinancing of securitized bonds in Aircraft
Lease Securitisation. Our result was driven by a number of factors. Our portfolio has grown through purchases of aircraft and other aviation assets. We continue to benefit from improved lease rates
and the leveraging of our cost base in relation to our owned aircraft. We have benefitted from interest savings as a result of the $1.66 billion refinancing, which reduced the margin on the
debt which was refinanced. In addition, our use of interest rate caps has allowed us to benefit from the reduction in interest rates generally during 2007 and provides us with protection in the event
of rising interest rates over the next several years. Our results have also been positively impacted by the inclusion of a full year of operations at AeroTurbine. We have generated net profits from
the sale of aircraft assets as we continue to optimize and rebalance our portfolio of aviation assets. Our financial performance in 2007 reflects the strength and flexibility of our business model and
demonstrates our continuing focus on investing strategically to grow our business.

Earnings Per Share

Total basic and fully-diluted earnings per share for the full year 2007 was $2.22. Total basic and fully-diluted earnings per share excluding non-cash
charges relating to mark-to-market of interest rate caps of $0.15 per share and share-based compensation of $0.11 per share was $2.48. The number of outstanding shares is
currently at 85.0 million.

Non-Cash Charge for Share-based Compensation

The non-cash charge for share-based compensation, net of tax, was $9.5 million for the full year 2007. The charge relates to restricted shares and share
options in entities that own a substantial percentage of our shares and which are held by members of our senior management, independent directors and a consultant and share options in AerCap
Holdings N.V. which are held by members of our senior management. The charge did not reduce our net equity.

Non-Cash Charge for Mark-to-market of Interest Rate Caps

The non-cash charge for mark-to-market of interest rate caps, net of tax, was $12.6 million for the full year 2007. We use interest
rate caps to hedge against the impact of interest rate increases on variable-rate debt. Our interest rate caps do not qualify for hedge accounting under US GAAP and the periodic
mark-to-market gains or losses of our caps is recorded as interest expense.

Refinancing of Securitized Bonds

On May 8, 2007, ALS, a lease securitization special purpose entity that we consolidate in our financial statements, completed a refinancing through the
issuance of $1.66 billion of AAA-rated class G-3 floating rate notes. The proceeds from the issuance of these notes were used to redeem all of the outstanding ALS
debt, other than the most junior class of notes, to refinance the indebtedness that had been incurred to purchase 24 previously acquired aircraft, and to finance the purchase of four additional new
aircraft, increasing ALS's aircraft portfolio size to 70 aircraft. The class G-3 notes bear an interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 26 basis points, resulting in annual
savings of approximately $16 million. Concurrently with the ALS refinancing, our revolving credit facility was amended and estated, resulting in a reduced interest rate spread and a
two-year extension of the revolving period to May 2010. The size of our revolving credit facility remains $1.0 billion. As a result of the ALS refinancing, we reported a
non-recurring expense in the second quarter of 2007 of $24.0 million, net of tax for the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the refinanced debt,
costs related to the prepayment of the prior ALS notes and other related fees. The majority of this non-recurring expense was non-cash.

Aviation Assets

Our total assets and owned portfolio continue to grow. We acquired $788.0 million of aviation assets including 40 aircraft and 18 engines in 2007. Total
assets on the balance sheet were $4.4 billion at December 31, 2007. Total assets increased 12% during 2007 which was driven by an increase in cash and cash equivalents of
$110.5 million, an increase in flight equipment of $219.5 million and an increase in all other assets of $146.2 million. The increase in flight equipment was the result of a net
increase of 16 owned aircraft in our portfolio. The number of aircraft in our portfolio was 318 as of December 31, 2007, consisting of 136 owned aircraft, 68 managed aircraft, 98 aircraft in
our order book, 13 aircraft subject to purchase contract and three aircraft under letter of intent. The number of aircraft decreased by 26 units from 344 since the end of 2006. The decline in aircraft
was largely driven by sales of owned Fokker aircraft and older, managed aircraft. The number of engines owned or on contract was 69, an increase of 12 engines from 57 engines owned at the end of 2006.

Liquidity and Access to Capital

Our cash balance at the end of 2007 was $336.8 million including restricted cash of $95.1 million and our operating cash flow was
$205.9 million for the full year. The available lines of credit at December 31, 2007 were approximately $2.1 billion. As these amounts suggest, we have significant access to
capital for growth through our cash and available lines of credit. Our debt balance at December 31, 2007 was $2.9 billion and the average annual interest rate on our debt in 2007 was
6.7%. Our debt to equity ratio stood at 3.0 to 1 as of December 31, 2007. We completed several financings during 2007.

Factors Affecting our Results

Our
results of operations have been affected by a variety of factors, primarily:



Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results

Our Acquisition by Cerberus

On June 30, 2005, AerCap Holdings C.V., a Netherlands partnership owned by Cerberus acquired all of AerCap B.V.'s (formerly known as debis
AirFinance B.V.) shares and $1.8 billion of liabilities owed by AerCap B.V. to its prior shareholders. AerCap Holdings C.V. paid total consideration of $1.4 billion for
AerCap B.V.; $370 million of the total consideration paid by AerCap Holdings C.V. was

46

---



funded
through equity contributions by Cerberus and $1.0 billion was funded through a term loan. The 2005 Acquisition resulted in a net decrease of $802.0 million of indebtedness on our
balance sheetthe difference between the $1.8 billion of intercompany liabilities and the indebtedness incurred to fund the acquisition. In accordance with FAS 141, Business Combinations,
we allocated the purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values. Since the
purchase consideration of $1.4 billion was less than the $1.9 billion combined carrying value of the liabilities and the equity purchased by Cerberus, the purchase price allocation
resulted in lower carrying values for our assets after the 2005 Acquisition. The carrying values of our assets and liabilities influence our results of operations and, accordingly, the net decrease in
asset carrying values, which resulted from the 2005 Acquisition, has resulted in improved operating performance when compared to periods prior to the 2005 Acquisition.

The
material impacts on our consolidated income statement of the 2005 Acquisition relate to purchase accounting adjustments in our assets which are reflected in lower depreciation
expense and lower cost of goods sold due to reduced net book values, and in lower interest on debt expense due to the elimination of $802.0 million of debt as described in the preceding
paragraph. Other than the corresponding effect on income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes and net income, the 2005 Acquisition did not materially impact any of the other
line items in our consolidated income statement.

AeroTurbine Acquisition

On April 26, 2006, we acquired all of the existing share capital of AeroTurbine, Inc., an engine trading and leasing and part sales company. We
acquired AeroTurbine to implement our strategy of managing aircraft profitably throughout their lifecycle, to diversify our investment in aviation assets and to obtain
a more significant presence in the market for older aircraft equipment. In accordance with FAS 141,Business Combinations, we allocated the
purchase price paid to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values. Since the purchase consideration was greater than the combined carrying value of the assets purchased and
liabilities assumed by us, the purchase price allocation resulted in higher carrying values for the AeroTurbine assets as well as $25.6 million of intangible assets and goodwill of
$6.8 million at the date of the AeroTurbine Acquisition. The inclusion of AeroTurbine in our consolidated results has increased our lease and sales revenue and cost of goods sold through the
addition of $317.5 million of combined flight equipment and inventory in our December 31, 2007 consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the interest on AeroTurbine's debt has increased
our consolidated interest expense and the inclusion of AeroTurbine's operations has increased our selling, general and administrative expenses. More specifically, for the year ended
December 31, 2006, we recognized $62.4 million of non-cash, share-based compensation, net of taxes, in our consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses related to restricted
shares granted in connection with the AeroTurbine Acquisition.

Prior
to the AeroTurbine Acquisition, we operated our business as one reportable segment: leasing, financing, sales and management of commercial aircraft. From the date of the
AeroTurbine Acquisition, we manage our business and analyze and report our results on the basis of two business segments: leasing, financing, sales and management of commercial aircraft ("Aircraft")
and leasing, financing and sales of engines and parts ("Engines and Parts").

Stock Compensation Expenses

Our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2006 include a charge of $68.3 million, net of tax of $10.3 million for
non-cash, share-based compensation expense related to the vesting of options and restricted stock previously granted or sold to the owners of AeroTurbine at the time of its acquisition by
us and to members of our senior management, our non-executive directors and one consultant primarily in connection with the 2005 Acquisition. While we will continue to recognize some
additional non-cash, share-based compensation in connection with these options, other restricted shares

47

---



held
in Bermuda holding companies which indirectly own our shares (excluding the shares sold to the owners of AeroTurbine) and options issued in 2007 by AerCap Holdings N.V., future charges are
not expected to be of a similar magnitude as those recognized in 2006. Our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2007 include a charge for share-based compensation of
$9.5 million, net of tax of $1.4 million.

Critical Accounting Policies Applicable to Us

Our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with US GAAP, and require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The use
of estimates is or could be a significant factor affecting the reported carrying values of flight equipment, investments, trade and notes receivable, deferred tax assets and accruals and reserves. Our
estimates and assumptions are based on historical experiences and currently available information. We utilize professional appraisers and valuation experts, where possible, to support our estimates,
particularly with respect to flight equipment. Despite our best efforts, actual results may differ from our estimates under different conditions, sometimes materially. A summary of our significant
accounting policies is presented in Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report. Critical accounting policies and estimates are defined as
those that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require our most subjective judgments, estimates and assumptions. Our most critical
accounting policies and estimates are described below.

Lease Revenue Recognition

We lease flight equipment principally under operating leases and report rental income on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease as it is
earned. Virtually all of our lease contracts require payment in advance. Rents collected in advance of when they are earned are recorded as deferred revenue on our balance sheet and recorded as lease
revenue as they are earned. Provisions for doubtful notes and accounts receivables are recorded in the income statement when rentals become past-due and the rentals exceed security
deposits held, except where it is anticipated that the lease will end in repossession and then provisions are made regardless of the level of security deposits. Our management monitors the status of
customers and the collectability of their receivables based on factors such as the customer's credit worthiness, payment performance, financial condition and requests for modifications of lease terms
and conditions. Customers for whom collectability is not reasonably assured are placed on non-accrual status and revenue is recorded on a cash basis. When our management deems the
collectability to be reasonably assured, based on the above factors, the customer is removed from non-accrual status and revenue is recognized on an accrual basis. As described below,
revenue from supplemental maintenance rent is recognized when we are no longer legally obligated to refund such rent to our customer, which normally coincides with lease termination or where the terms
of the lease allow us to control the occurrence, timing or amount of such reimbursement.

Depreciation and Amortization

Flight equipment held for operating leases, including aircraft, is recorded on our balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Aircraft
are depreciated over the assets' useful life,
which is 25 years from the date of manufacture for substantially all of our aircraft, using the straight-line method to estimated residual values. Estimated residual values are
generally determined to be approximately 15% of the manufacturer's price.

For
older engines purchased primarily for short-term leasing through our AeroTurbine operations, we depreciate current production model engines on a straight-line
basis over a 15-year period from the acquisition date to an estimated residual value. We estimate residual values of current production

48

---



model
engines based on observed current market prices and management expectations of value trends. Out-of-production engines are depreciated on a straight-line
basis over an estimated useful life ranging from five to seven years to an estimated residual value. For newer engines purchased primarily for longer-term leases, we depreciate over a
30-year period to a residual of 10% of cost. The carrying value of flight equipment that we designate for disassembly is transferred to our inventory pool and is held for sale at the time
of such designation. We discontinue the depreciation of our flight equipment when it is held as inventory. Differences between our estimates of useful lives and residual values and actual experience
may result in future impairments of aircraft or engines and/or additional gains or losses upon disposal. We review residual values of aircraft and engines periodically based on our knowledge of
current residual values and residual value trends to determine if they are appropriate and record adjustments as necessary.

Intangibles
related to customer relationships are amortized over ten years, which is the length of time that we expect to benefit from existing customer relationships. The amortization
in each year is based on the anticipated sales in each year which benefit from such relationships. Our FAA certificate is amortized straight-line over 15 years, the remaining
estimated useful life of the engine type to which the repair station certificate relates. Amortization of the non-compete agreement is straight-line over six years, which is
the sum of the term of the employment agreements of the related individuals and the term of the non-compete agreements.

Inventory

Inventory, which consists exclusively of finished goods, is valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is primarily determined using the specific identification
method for individual part purchases and whole engines and on an allocated basis for dismantled engines, aircraft, and bulk inventory purchases using the relationship of the cost of the dismantled
engine, aircraft or bulk inventory purchase to estimated market value at the time of purchase. We estimate market value for this purpose based on internal estimates of sales values and recent sales
activity of similar inventory. We charge the cost of sold inventory to cost of goods sold based on the ratio of remaining cost to the market value of such inventory. We evaluate this ratio
periodically and make prospective adjustments in connection with
updated market values. Any inventory identified with a market value lower than cost is reduced to market value at the time of the review.

Impairments

In accordance with FAS 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, our
flight equipment held for operating lease and definite lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of those assets may not be
recoverable. The review for recoverability includes an assessment of the estimated future cash flows associated with the use of an asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future
cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized. The loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the
impaired asset over its fair value. Fair value reflects the present value of cash expected to be received from the asset in the future, including its expected residual value discounted at a rate
commensurate with the associated risk. Future cash flows are assumed to occur under then current market conditions and assume adequate time for a sale between a willing buyer and a willing seller.
Expected future lease rates are based on all relevant information available, including current contracted rates for similar assets, appraisal data and industry trends. Residual value assumptions
generally reflect an asset's booked residual, except where more recent industry information indicates a different value is appropriate.

49

---



In accordance with FAS 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,we evaluate any goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets
for impairment at the reporting unit level each year and upon the occurrence of events or circumstances that indicate that the asset may be impaired. We determine the fair value of our reporting units
using discounted cash flow and earnings multiples approaches. When our valuation suggests that the fair value of our reporting unit is less than our net equity, we determine the amount of implied
goodwill by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to our assets and liabilities as we would in purchase accounting and adjust our goodwill to its implied value through an impairment entry.
If we fail to meet our forecasted future cash flows or if weak economic conditions prevail in our primary markets, the estimated fair values of our reporting unit may be adversely affected, resulting
in impairment charges.

Allocation of Purchase Price to Acquired Assets

We account for business combinations in accordance with FAS 141,Business Combinations.We apply the
purchase price of all acquisitions to the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities, including identifiable intangible assets and liabilities. To determine fair value, we utilize a combination of
third-party appraisers, our own recent experience in the market place and discounted cash flow analyses. Our discounted cash flow analyses require us to make estimates and assumptions of the future
use of these assets and their impact on our financial position. We apply a discount rate to each different asset or liability based on prevailing interest rates and the underlying credit of the
obligor.

Accrued Maintenance Liability

In all of our leases, the lessees are responsible for maintenance and repairs of our flight equipment and related expenses during the term of the lease. In some
instances, we may incur maintenance and repair expenses for off-lease aircraft. We recognize leasing expenses in our income statement for all such expenditures. In many operating lease and
finance lease contracts, the lessee has the obligation to make a periodic payment of supplemental maintenance rent which is calculated with reference to the utilization of airframes, engines and other
major life-limited components during the lease. In the majority of these leases, we do not recognize such supplemental rent received as revenue, but as an accrued maintenance liability. In
these leases, upon lessee presentation of invoices evidencing the completion of qualifying maintenance on the aircraft or engine, we make a payment to the lessee to help compensate for the cost of the
maintenance, up to the maximum of the supplemental maintenance rental payments made with respect to the lease contract. In
shorter-term lease contracts (primarily engine lease contracts) where the terms of the lease are designed specifically to allow us to directly manage the occurrence, timing and associated
cost of qualifying maintenance work on the flight equipment, supplemental rents collected during the lease are recognized as lease revenue. For flight equipment subject to these
shorter-term contracts, we record a charge to leasing expenses at the time maintenance work is performed on the flight equipment.

In
most lease contracts not requiring the payment of supplemental rents, the lessee is required to re-deliver the aircraft in a similar maintenance condition (normal wear and
tear excepted) as when accepted under the lease, with reference to major life-limited components of the aircraft. To the extent that such components are redelivered in a different
condition than at acceptance, there is normally an end-of-lease compensation adjustment for the difference at redelivery. We recognize receipts of
end-of-lease compensation adjustments as lease revenue when received and payments of end-of-lease adjustments as leasing expenses when paid.

In
addition, in both types of contracts, we may be obligated to make additional payments to the lessee for maintenance related expenses (lessor maintenance contributions or
top-ups) primarily related to usage of major life-limited components occurring prior to the lease. We record a charge to leasing expenses at the time of the occurrence of a
lessor contribution or top-up payment, except in instances where we have established an accrual as an assumed liability for such payment in connection with the

50

---



purchase
of an aircraft with a lease attached, in which case such payments are charged against the existing accrual.

For
all of our lease contracts, any amounts of accrued maintenance liability existing at the end of a lease are released and recognized as lease revenue at lease termination. When flight
equipment is sold, the portion of the accrued maintenance liability which is not specifically assigned to the buyer is released from the balance sheet and recognized as sales revenue from the sale of
the flight equipment.

Consolidation

We consolidate all companies in which we have direct or indirect legal or effective control and all variable interest entities for which we are deemed the primary
beneficiary under FIN 46R. Consolidated entities include certain joint ventures such as our AerVenture and Bella joint ventures, our Aircraft Lease Securitisation vehicle, and our AerFunding
financing vehicle, but exclude AerDragon and Annabel. The determination of which entities are variable interest entities and of which variable interest entities we are the primary beneficiary involves
the use of significant estimates, including whether the entity has sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial
support and the expected cash flows to the entity and distributions of those cash flows in the future. We estimate expected cash flows based on the variable interest entities' contractual rights and
obligations as well as reasonable expectations for future business developments. We then adjust these cash flow estimates to simulate possible changes in economic trends which could impact the
variable interest entity to determine which entity will absorb a majority of the variability in order to determine if we are the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity.

Deferred Income Taxes

We provide for income taxes according to FAS 109,Accounting for Income Taxes. We have significant tax loss
carryforwards in certain of our subsidiaries. We evaluate valuation allowances for tax losses at the individual company level or consolidated tax group level in accordance with the tax law in the
specific jurisdiction. We evaluate the potential for recovery of our tax losses by estimating the future taxable profits expected from each subsidiary and considering prudent and feasible tax planning
strategies. In estimating future taxable profits, we consider all current contracts and assets of the business, as well as a reasonable estimation of future taxable profits achievable by us. If we are
not able to achieve the level of projected taxable profits used in our assessment, and no tax planning strategies are available to us, an additional valuation allowance may be required against our tax
assets with a corresponding charge to our income statement in the future.

Financial Period Convention

AerCap Holdings C.V. (the predecessor to AerCap Holdings N.V.) was formed on June 27, 2005; however, it did not commence operations until
June 30, 2005, when it acquired all of the shares and certain of the liabilities of AerCap B.V. AerCap Holdings C.V.'s initial accounting period is from June 27, 2005 to
December 31, 2005 but it generated no material revenue or expense between June 27, 2005 and June 30, 2005, and did not have any material assets before the 2005 Acquisition. For
convenience of presentation only, we have labeled AerCap Holding C.V.'s initial accounting period in table headings in this annual report as the six months ended December 31, 2005. In addition,
for presentation purposes in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, we have combined the six months ended June 30, 2005 of
AerCap B.V., our predecessor, with AerCap Holding C.V.'s initial accounting period into a 12 month period ended December 31, 2005. The financial information presented for this
combined period reflects the addition, with no adjustments, of the results of AerCap B.V. for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and for AerCap Holdings C.V.'s initial accounting period
ended December 31, 2005. The combined period information is included as a combined presentation since it is the way our management analyzes our

51

business
results. This combined presentation, however, is not in accordance with US GAAP and should be considered as supplemental information only.

Revenues

Our revenues consist primarily of lease revenue from aircraft and engine leases, sales revenue, management fee revenue and interest revenue.

Lease Revenue.

Nearly
all of our aircraft and engine lease agreements provide for the payment of a fixed, periodic amount of rent or a floating, periodic amount of rent tied to interest rates during
the term of the lease. In limited circumstances, our leases may require a basic rental payment based partially or exclusively on the amount of usage during a period. In addition, many of our leases
require the payment of supplemental maintenance rent based on aircraft or engine utilization and lease term, or an end-of-lease compensation amount calculated with reference to
the technical condition of the aircraft or engine at lease expiration. The amount of lease revenue we recognize is primarily influenced by five factors:



In
addition to aircraft or engine specific factors such as the type, condition and age of the asset, the lease rates for our leases with fixed rental payments are determined in part by
reference to the prevailing interest rate for a debt instrument with a term similar to the lease term and with a similar credit quality as the lessee at the time we enter into the lease. Many of the
factors described in the bullet points above are influenced by global and regional economic trends, airline market conditions, the supply/demand balance for the type of flight equipment we own and our
ability to remarket flight equipment subject to expiring lease contracts under favorable economic terms.

We
operate our business on a global basis. As of December 31, 2007, we had 130 owned aircraft on lease (excluding the six aircraft that we intend to disassemble or sell at the end
of their leases) to 55 customers in 34 countries, with no lessee accounting for more than 10% of lease revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007. The following table shows the regional
profile of our lease revenue for the periods indicated:

The
geographical concentration of our customer base has varied historically, reflecting the opportunities available in particular markets at a given time. The decrease in Asia/Pacific
concentration between 2007 and 2006 is the result of lease expiries on six aircraft with one Asian lessee. Asia/Pacific continues to be a focal point for additional growth in leasing activity for us.

Sales Revenue.

Our sales revenue is generated from the sale of our aircraft, engines, and inventory. The price we receive for our aircraft, engines and inventory is largely
dependent on the condition of the asset being sold, prevailing interest rates, airline market conditions and the supply/demand balance for the type of asset we are selling. The timing of the closing
of aircraft and engine sales is often uncertain, as a sale may be concluded swiftly or negotiations may extend over several weeks or months. As a result, even if sales are comparable over a long
period of time, during any particular fiscal quarter or other reporting period we may close significantly more or fewer sale transactions than in other reporting periods. Accordingly, sales revenue
recorded in one fiscal quarter or other reporting period may not be comparable to sales revenue in other periods.

Management Fee Revenue.

We generate management fee revenue through a variety of management services that we provide to non-consolidated aircraft securitization vehicles and
joint ventures and third-party owners of aircraft. Our management services include leasing and remarketing services, cash management and treasury services, technical advisory services and accounting
and administrative
services. We currently generate almost three-quarters of our management fee income from services we provide to two securitization vehicles, Airplanes Group and AerCo. Since Aircraft Lease
Securitisation's results are consolidated in our financial statements, we do not generate any accounting revenue from the services we provide to it.

Interest Revenue.

Our interest revenue is derived primarily from deposit interest on unrestricted and restricted cash balances, interest earned on assets supporting defeased
liabilities and interest recognized on financial instruments we hold, such as notes issued by lessees in connection with lease restructurings and subordinated debt investments in unconsolidated
securitization vehicles or affiliates. The amount of interest revenue we recognize in any period is influenced by the amount of free or restricted cash balances, the scheduled amortization of defeased
liabilities, the principal balance of financial instruments we hold, contracted or effective interest rates, and movements in provisions for financial instruments which can affect adjustments to
valuations or provisions.

Other Revenue.

Our other revenue includes net gains or losses we generate from the sale of aircraft-related investments, and reversals of provisions on such investments such as
our subordinated interests in securitization vehicles and notes, warrants or convertible securities issued by our lessees, which we receive from lessees as compensation for amounts owed to us in
connection with lease restructurings. The amount of other revenue recognized in any period is influenced by the number of saleable financial instruments we hold, the credit profile of the obligor and
the demand for such investments in the market at the time. Since there is limited or no market liquidity for some of the securities we receive in connection with lease restructurings, making the
securities difficult to value, and because many of the issuers of the securities are in a distressed financial condition, we may experience volatility in our revenues when we sell our aircraft-related
investments due to significant changes in their value.

Operating Expenses

Our primary operating expenses consist of depreciation, interest on debt, other operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses.

Depreciation.

Our depreciation expense is influenced by the adjusted gross book values of our flight equipment, the depreciable life of the flight equipment and the estimated
residual value of the flight equipment. Adjusted gross book value is the original cost of our flight equipment, including purchase expenses, adjusted for subsequent capitalized improvements,
impairments, and accounting basis adjustments associated with business combinations.

Cost of Goods Sold.

Our cost of goods sold consists of the net book value of flight equipment, including inventory, sold to third parties at the time of the sale.

Interest on Debt.

Our interest on debt expense arises from a variety of funding structures and related derivative instruments as described in "Indebtedness". Interest
on debt expense in any period is primarily affected by contracted interest rates, principal amounts of indebtedness, including notional values of derivative instruments and unrealized
mark-to-market gains or losses on derivative instruments.

Other Operating Expenses.

Our other operating expenses consist primarily of operating lease-in costs, leasing expenses and provision for doubtful notes and accounts receivable.

Our
operating lease-in costs relate to our lease obligations for aircraft we lease from financial investors and sublease to aircraft operators. We entered into all of our
lease-in transactions between 1988 and 1992 and the leases on the remaining six aircraft at December 31, 2007 expire between 2009 and 2013. As described in Note 15 to our
consolidated financial statements included in this annual report, we have established an onerous contract accrual equal to the difference between the present value of our lease expenses and the
sublease revenue we receive, discounted at
appropriate discount rates. The amount of this liability amortizes monthly as a reduction of operating lease-in costs on a constant yield basis as we meet our obligations to the aircrafts'
legal owners under the applicable leases.

Our
leasing expenses consist primarily of maintenance expenses on our flight equipment, which we incur when our flight equipment is off-lease, lessor maintenance contribution
expenses, technical expenses we incur to monitor the maintenance condition of our flight equipment during a lease, end-of-lease payments, expenses to transition flight
equipment from an expired lease to a new lease contract and non-capitalizable flight equipment transaction expenses.

Our
provision for doubtful notes and accounts receivable consists primarily of provisions we establish to reduce the carrying value of our notes and accounts receivables to estimated
collectible levels.

The
primary factors affecting our other operating expenses are:

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.

Our principal selling, general and administrative expenses consist of personnel expenses, including salaries benefits, charges for share-based compensation,
professional and advisory costs and office and travel expenses as summarized in Note 20 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in this annual report. The level of our
selling, general and administrative expenses is influenced primarily by our number of employees and the extent of transactions or ventures we pursue which require the assistance of outside
professionals or advisors. Our selling, general and administrative expenses also include the mark-to-market gains and losses for our foreign exchange rate hedges related to our
Euro denominated selling, general and administrative expenses.

Provisions for Income Taxes

Our operations are taxable primarily in four main jurisdictions in which we manage our business: The Netherlands, Ireland, the United States and Sweden. Deferred
income taxes are provided to reflect the impact of temporary differences between our US GAAP income from continuing operations before income taxes and minority interests and our taxable income.
Our effective tax rate has varied significantly year to year from 2004 to 2007. The primary source of temporary differences is the availability of accelerated tax depreciation in our primary operating
jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate in any year depends on the tax rates in the jurisdictions from which our income is derived along with the extent of permanent differences between US GAAP
income from continuing operations before income taxes and minority interests and taxable income.

We
have substantial tax losses in certain jurisdictions which can be carried forward, which we recognize as tax assets. We evaluate the recoverability of tax assets in each jurisdiction
in each period based upon our estimates of future taxable income in those jurisdictions. If we determine that we are not likely to generate sufficient taxable income in a jurisdiction prior to
expiration, if any, of the availability of tax losses, we establish a valuation allowance against the tax loss to reduce the tax asset to its recoverable value. We evaluate the appropriate level of
valuation allowances annually and make adjustments as necessary. Increases or decreases to valuation allowances can affect our provision for income taxes on our consolidated income statement and
consequently may affect our effective tax rate in a given year.

Revenues.Our total revenues increased by $362.1 million, or 44.5%, to $1,176.5 million in the year ended
December 31, 2007 from $814.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2006. In the year ended December 31, 2007, we generated $980.0 million of revenue in our
aircraft segment and $196.5 million of revenue in our engine and parts segment, and, in the year ended December 31, 2006, we generated $689.2 million of revenue in our aircraft

The
increase in sales revenue was attributable primarily to:



Management
fee revenue did not materially change in the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006.

Interest
revenue decreased by $5.0 million, or 14.4%, to $29.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2007 from $34.7 million in the year ended
December 31, 2006. The decrease was mainly caused by (i) the loss of interest income from a subordinated investment in an aircraft securitization which defaulted, (ii) the sale of
interest bearing notes receivable in late 2006 and early 2007 and (iii) the elimination of a fair value adjustment which was amortizing to interest income when we extinguished the underlying
guarantee liability at a discount to its carrying value, partially offset by an increase in cash balances and an increase in deposit rates of interest.

Other
revenue did not materially change in the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006. In the year ended December 31, 2007, we
sold the rights associated with a claim from a lessee bankruptcy for a gain of $9.1 million and we recognized a gain of $10.7 million when we extinguished a guarantee liability in
relation to the purchase of a portfolio of nine aircraft and three spare engines (see interest revenue). In the year ended December 31, 2006, we sold four unsecured notes receivable for a gain
of $15.8 million, received $2.1 million from an investment in liquidation, sold notes secured by aircraft for a gain of $0.7 million and received $1.7 million from an
insurance claim on an engine.

Depreciation.Depreciation increased by $38.7 million, or 37.8%, to $141.1 million in the year ended
December 31, 2007 from $102.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2006 due primarily to the acquisition of 83 new aircraft between January 1, 2006 and
December 31, 2007 with a book value at the time of the acquisition of $1.7 billion. The increase was partially offset by the sale of 43 aircraft with a book value at the time of sale of
$536.9 million.

Cost of Goods Sold.Cost of goods sold increased by $211.9 million, or 96.2%, to $432.2 million in the year
ended December 31, 2007 from $220.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2006 due primarily to:



Interest on Debt.Our interest on debt increased by $68.6 million, or 41.3%, to $234.8 million in the year
ended December 31, 2007 from $166.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2006. The majority of the increase in interest on debt was principally caused by:



Other Operating Expenses.Our other operating expenses decreased by $6.8 million, or 14.6%, to $39.7 million in
the year ended December 31, 2007 from $46.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2006. The principal categories of our other operating expenses and their variances were as

Our
operating lease in costs decreased primarily due to the purchase of four aircraft which were previously subject to head leases and the termination of those leases.

Our
leasing expenses decreased by $2.7 million, or 12.6%, to $18.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2007 from $21.5 million in the year ended
December 31, 2006. The decrease is primarily

---



due
to fewer transitions of aircraft from expiring leases to new leases in 2007 compared to 2006 and particularly significant transition expenses in 2006 related to several A321 aircraft which were
redelivered from an Asian carrier and leased to another airline.

Our
provision for doubtful notes and accounts receivable did not materially change in the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006. We did
not have any significant defaults in the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.Our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by
$33.3 million, or 22.3%, to $116.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2007 from $149.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2006, due primarily to a decrease
of $67.6 million in charges for share-based compensation to $10.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2007 from $78.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2006,
partially offset by (i) the AeroTurbine Acquisition, which resulted in a $15.2 million increase, (ii) expenses in relation to the implementation of Sarbanes-Oxley Act requirements
and our secondary public offering, which resulted in a $5.9 million increase, (iv) an increase in salaries and benefit expenses associated with the growth in the number of our employees
to 402 at December 31, 2007 from 351 at December 31, 2006, which resulted in an $8.0 million increase and (v) the increase in EUR compared to USD, which resulted in a
$4.2 million increase.

Net Income From Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes and Minority Interests.For the reasons explained above, our income
from continuing operations before income taxes and minority interests increased by $82.8 million, or 63.9%, to $212.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2007 from
$129.6 million in the year ended December 31, 20056.

Provision for Income Taxes.Our provision for income taxes increased by $3.9 million or 18.4% to $25.1 million
in the year ended December 31, 2007 from $21.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2006. Our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2006 was 16.4% and was
11.8% for the year ended December 31, 2007. Our effective tax rate in any year is impacted by the mix of operations among our different tax jurisdictions. In 2007, we completed a corporate tax
restructuring that resulted in more deductible expenses in one of our higher tax rate jurisdictions, which positively impacted the mix of our profits for income tax purposes.

Net Income.For the reasons explained above, our net income increased by $79.5 million, or 72.9%, to
$188.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2007 from $109.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2006.

Our
results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 represent an aggregation of the results of operations for AerCap B.V. from January 1, 2005 to
June 30, 2005 when it was owned by our prior shareholders and the results of operations for AerCap Holdings N.V. from June 27, 2005 (inception of AerCap Holdings C.V.) to
December 31, 2005 following the 2005 Acquisition on June 30, 2005. These results have been aggregated to provide investors with information related to our operating results for the full
year of 2005 on the same basis our management uses to analyze our business results and to provide a basis for comparing our results of operations in 2005 with prior periods. Results of operations for
AerCap Holdings N.V. after the 2005 Acquisition include the effects of purchase accounting related to the 2005 Acquisition and, therefore, are not directly comparable to the results of
operation for AerCap B.V. in the prior periods. The material impacts on our consolidated income statement of the 2005 Acquisition are reflected in lower depreciation expense due to reduced net
book values, which resulted in a $20.9 million decrease in depreciation expense in 2005, and in lower interest on debt expense due to the elimination of certain debt, which resulted in a
$19.6 million decrease in interest on debt expense in 2005. Other than the corresponding effect on income from continuing operations before income taxes and net income, the 2005 Acquisition did
not materially impact any of the other line items in our consolidated income statement. We have included a reconciliation of our

The
aggregation of the results of operations data for 2005 is not in accordance with US GAAP. Since AerCap Holdings N.V is a different reporting entity for accounting purposes
from AerCap B.V., the aggregated information should be considered as supplemental information only. The financial information presented for this combined period reflects the addition, with no
adjustments, of the results of AerCap B.V. for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and the results of AerCap Holdings N.V. for the initial accounting period ended
December 31, 2005.

Revenues.Our total revenues increased by $338.2 million, or 71.0%, to $814.4 million in the year ended
December 31, 2006 from $476.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2005. In the year ended December 31, 2006, we generated $689.2 million of revenue in our
aircraft segment and $125.2 million of revenue in our engine and parts segment, and, in the year ended December 31, 2005, we generated $476.2 million of revenue in our aircraft

fee revenue did not materially change in the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the year ended December 31, 2005.

Interest
revenue did not materially change in the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the year ended December 31, 2005.

The
increase in other revenue was due to the increase in revenue from the sale of financial assets in the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the year ended
December 31, 2005. In the year ended December 31, 2006, we sold four unsecured notes receivable for a gain of $15.8 million, received $2.1 million from an investment in
liquidation, sold notes secured by aircraft for a gain of $0.7 million and received $1.7 million from an insurance claim on an engine. In the year ended December 31, 2005, we sold
our AerCo Series D Note for a gain of $4.6 million which was partially offset by our sale of notes secured by aircraft for a loss of $0.1 million.

Depreciation.Depreciation decreased by $9.9 million, or 8.8%, to $102.4 million in the year ended
December 31, 2006 from $112.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2005 due primarily to the reduction of our asset values in connection with the 2005 Acquisition. The decrease
was partially offset by the acquisition of 41 new aircraft between December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006 with a book value at the time of the acquisition of $928.5 million and
the increased depreciation resulting from the AeroTurbine Acquisition.

Cost of Goods Sold.Cost of goods sold increased by $152.1 million, or 223.0%, to $220.3 million in the year
ended December 31, 2006 from $68.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2005 due primarily to:

Interest on Debt.Our interest on debt increased by $51.6 million, or 45.0%, to $166.2 million in the year
ended December 31, 2006 from $114.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in interest on debt was principally caused by:



Other Operating Expenses.Our other operating expenses decreased by $12.5 million, or 21.2%, to $46.5 million
in the year ended December 31, 2006 from $59.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2005. The principal categories of our other operating expenses and their variances were as

Our
leasing expenses decreased in the year ended December 31, 2006 primarily because we incurred lower maintenance expenses due to fewer lessee defaults than in 2005.

Our
provision for doubtful notes and accounts receivable was lower in the year ended December 31, 2006 when compared to the year ended December 31, 2005 due to the decrease
in lessee defaults in the year ended December 31, 2006 and the impact of some recoveries of provisioned receivables in the year ended December 31, 2006.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased by
$102.9 million, or 221.3%, to $149.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2006 from $46.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2005, due primarily to
(i) charges for share-based compensation in the amount of $78.6 million in 2006 which did not occur in 2005, (ii) the AeroTurbine Acquisition, which resulted in a
$21.5 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and (iii) start-up costs for our two consolidated joint ventures, AerVenture and Bella, which totaled
$3.8 million.

Net Income From Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes and Minority Interests.For the reasons explained above, our income
from continuing operations before income taxes and minority interests increased by $54.0 million, or 71.4%, to $129.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2006 from
$75.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2005.

Provision for Income Taxes.Our provision for income taxes increased by $11.2 million or 112.0% to
$21.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2006 from $10.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2005. Our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2005
was 13.2% and was 16.4% for the year ended December 31, 2006. The effective tax rate in 2006 was impacted by (i) charges for share-based compensation in the U.S., only a portion of which
are tax-deductible, (ii) a reduction in the Netherlands corporate tax rate which resulted in a reduction of our Netherlands deferred tax assets and (iii) the reduction of a
valuation allowance against our Swedish tax assets.

Net Income.For the reasons explained above, our net income increased by $43.4 million, or 66.2%, to
$109.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2006 from $65.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We satisfy our liquidity requirements through several sources, including:



Aircraft
leasing and trading is a capital intensive business. We believe that our existing cash balance and anticipated future operating cash flows, including proceeds arising from the
sale of aircraft, engines and parts, will be sufficient to satisfy the operating requirements of our business through 2008. In the longer term, we expect to fund the growth of our business, including
the acquisition of aircraft and engines, through internally generated cash flows, the incurrence of bank debt and the issuance of debt and equity securities. For additional information on the
availability of funding under our revolving credit facilities see "Indebtedness".

The
acquisition of aircraft and engines drives our growth and fuels our long-term need for liquidity. It is our intention to fund future aircraft and engines acquisitions
initially through cash flows from our operations, borrowings under existing credit facilities, borrowings under debt facilities yet to be contracted and government guaranteed debt issuances, and to
repay all or a portion of the borrowings from time to time with the net proceeds from a variety of capital market and bank sources, including securitizations and from aircraft and engine sale
proceeds. Therefore, our ability to execute our business strategy, particularly the growth of our business, depends to a significant degree on our ability to secure additional financing. Whether we
will be able to obtain financing will depend upon a number of factors, such as our historical and expected performance, industry and market trends, the availability of capital and the relative
attractiveness of alternative investments. The availability and cost of debt financing has been negatively impacted by the current turmoil in global financial markets. Given the amount of committed
and available debt financing and our ability in the past to access government guaranteed debt issuances, we believe that we will have adequate funds to support both contracted and forecasted growth
targets through the sources indicated above. However, future deterioration in our performance or our markets could limit our ability to obtain financing and/or increase our cost of capital, which may
negatively affect our ability to raise additional funds and grow our business.

Our
liquidity also depends on the ability of our subsidiaries to distribute cash to us in the form of interest and principal payments or the return of subordinated investments.
Substantially, all of our owned aircraft are held through special purpose subsidiaries, consolidated joint ventures or finance structures which borrow funds to finance or refinance the aircraft. Most
of the commercial bank loans

---



and
export credit facility financings restrict the payment of dividends in the event that the borrower is in default under the applicable loan, which can include the failure to meet financial ratios
or tests. Our revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by affiliates of UBS Real Estate Securities Inc. permits limited distributions to us by the relevant subsidiary borrower
during the first two years provided specified principal payments are made. AeroTurbine's revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by affiliates of Calyon permits distributions to us
provided that specified financial ratios are met. The securitization of Aircraft Lease Securitisation allows distributions on the subordinated notes to us after the senior classes of notes are repaid.
We believe we are in compliance with the financial covenants in all of our indebtedness. For more information on our indebtedness, see "Indebtedness".

From
time to time, we enter into intercompany funding arrangements with our subsidiaries and/or provide capital contributions to them to ensure that our subsidiaries have sufficient
liquidity to satisfy their contractual and operational requirements.

Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities. Our cash flows provided by operating activities decreased by $142.5, or 40.9% million to $205.9 million for
the year ended December 31, 2007 from $348.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 primarily due to a $140.8 million decrease in the change in accounts payable and
accrued expenses, including maintenance liabilities and lessee deposits. This was primarily due to the increase in accrued maintenance liabilities and lessee deposits from the purchase of 24 used
aircraft, subject to leases, during 2006 which did not occur in 2007.

Cash
Flows Used in Investing Activities. Our cash flows used in investing activities decreased by $427.5 million, or 50.7%, to $415.8 million in the year ended
December 31, 2007 from $843.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2006, primarily due to (i) a $196.1 million increase in proceeds from the sale/disposition of
aircraft, (ii) a $179.7 million decrease in purchase of flight equipment and (iii) the consideration paid, net of cash acquired, of $143.1 million to acquire AeroTurbine.

Cash
Flows Provided by Financing Activities. Our cash flows provided by financing activities decreased by $122.5 million, or 27.6%, to $321.1 million in the year ended
December 31, 2007 from $443.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2006. This decrease in cash flows provided by financing activities was due primarily to the additional equity
investment of $143.6 million in relation to our initial public offering in the year ended December 31, 2006.

Indebtedness

As of December 31, 2007, our outstanding indebtedness totaled $2.9 billion and primarily consisted of export credit facilities, Japanese operating
lease financings, commercial bank debt, revolving credit debt, securitization debt and capital lease structures.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations consist of principal and interest payments on debt, executed purchase agreements to purchase aircraft, operating lease rentals on
aircraft under lease in/lease out structures and rent payments pursuant to our office leases. We intend to fund our contractual obligations through our lines of credit and other borrowings as well as
internally generated cash flows. We believe that our sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet our contractual obligations.

our growth strategy and expand our aircraft and engine portfolio, we expect our capital expenditures to increase in the future. We anticipate that we will fund these capital expenditures through
internally generated cash flows, draw downs on our committed revolving credit facilities and the incurrence of bank debt, and other debt and equity issuances.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2007, we were obligated to make sublease payments under six aircraft operating leases of aircraft with lease expiration dates between
2009 and 2013. We lease these six aircraft to aircraft operators. Since we are not fully exposed to the risks and rewards of ownership of these aircraft, we do not include these aircraft on our
balance sheet. In addition, we do not recognize a financial liability for our operating lease obligations under the leases on our balance sheet. Due to the

67

---



fact
that sublease receipts related to these six aircraft are insufficient to cover our lease obligations, we have recognized an onerous contract accrual on our balance sheet which is equal to the
difference between the present value of the lease expenses and the present value of the sublease income discounted at appropriate discount rates. This accounting treatment, however, does not result in
the same presentation as if we accounted for these aircraft as owned assets and the related operating lease obligations as debt liabilities. Note 15 of our consolidated financial statements
included in this annual report includes more information on this arrangement, including a table of future lease obligations by year. In February 2008, we purchased two of the six aircraft that had
been subject to operating leases and terminated the operating leases as described in Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements included herein.

We
continue to have an economic interest in AerCo. This interest is not assigned any value on our balance sheet because we do not expect to realize any value for our investment.

We
have other investments in companies or ventures in the airline industry which we obtain primarily through restructurings in our leasing business. The value of these investments are
immaterial to our financial position. We do not consolidate such companies on our balance sheet because the investments do not meet the requirements for consolidation.

As
discussed above, we have entered into two joint ventures, (Annabel and AerDragon) that do not qualify for consolidated accounting treatment. The assets and liabilities of these joint
ventures are off our balance sheet and we only record our net investment under the equity method of accounting.

Management's use of "net income excluding non-cash charges relating to the mark-to-market of our interest rate caps
and share-based compensation"

The
following is a definition of a non-GAAP measure used in this report on form 20-F and a reconciliation of such measure to the most closely related GAAP
measure:

Net income excluding non-cash charges relating to the mark-to-market of our interest rate caps and share-based
compensation.This measure is determined by adding non-cash charges related to the mark-to-market losses on our interest rate
caps and share-based compensation during the applicable period, net of related tax benefits, to GAAP net income. AerCap believes this measure provides investors with a more meaningful view of AerCap's
operational performance and allows investors to better understand its operational performance in relation to past and future reporting periods. AerCap uses interest rate caps to allow the Company to
benefit from decreasing interest rates and protect against the negative impact of rising interest rates on its floating rate debt. Management determines the appropriate level of caps in any period
with reference to the mix of floating and fixed cash inflows from the Company's lease and other contracts. AerCap does not apply hedge accounting to its interest rate caps. As a result, AerCap is
required to recognize the change in fair value of the interest rate caps in AerCap's income statement during each period. The following is a reconciliation of net income

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements". SFAS 157 prescribes a single definition of fair value as the price that
would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007 for financial assets and liabilities, as well as for any other assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis in financial
statements. In November 2007, the FASB issued FSP 157-2 which provided a one year deferral for the implementation of SFAS 157 for other nonfinancial assets and liabilities. We do
not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have a material effect on our financial statements or our results of operations.

In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities".
SFAS 159, which is expected to expand fair value measurement, permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. FAS 159 is effective
for us beginning in the first quarter of 2008. We do not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS 159 will have a material effect on our financial statements or our results of operations.

In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (revised),Business Combinations("SFAS 141(R)"). The standard changes the
accounting for business combinations, including the measurement of acquirer shares issued in consideration for a business combination, the recognition of contingent consideration, the accounting for
preacquisition gain and loss contingencies, the recognition of capitalized in-process research and development, the accounting for acquisition-related restructuring cost accruals, the
treatment of acquisition related transaction costs and the recognition of changes in
the acquirer's income tax valuation allowance. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. We are currently evaluating
the impact that the adoption of SFAS 141(R) will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,"Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements," (SFAS 160).
SFAS 160 re-characterizes minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries as non-controlling interests and requires the classification of minority interests as a
component of equity. Under SFAS 160, a change in control will be measured at fair value, with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. The effective date for SFAS 160 is for fiscal
periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption and retroactive application of SFAS 160 to years preceding the effective date are not permitted. We are currently
evaluating the impact, if any, of SFAS 160.

INDEBTEDNESS

Export Credit Facility Financings

General.In April 2003, we entered into an $840.0 million export credit facility for the
financing of up to 20 Airbus A320 aircraft. Funding under the facility is provided by commercial banks, but the repayment is guaranteed by European export credit agencies. In January 2006, the export
credit facility was amended and extended to cover an additional nine aircraft and its size increased to a maximum of $1.215 billion. The terms of the lending commitment in the export credit
facility are such that the export credit agencies only approve funding for aircraft that are due for delivery on a six-months rolling basis and have no obligation to fund deliveries beyond
that period. At December 31, 2007, we had financed 17 aircraft under this facility. We had $570.4 million of loans outstanding under our April 2003 export credit facility and the
previous export credit facilities as of December 31, 2007.

Interest Rate.Set forth below are the interest rates for our export credit facilities.

Amount outstanding at December 31, 2007

Three-month LIBOR plus 0.25%42,738

Three-month LIBOR plus 0.30%Purchase accounting fair value adjustments

(6,534
)Total:

563,835


Maturity Date.We are obligated to repay principal on the export credit facility over a
12-year term.

Collateral.The export credit facilities require legal title to the aircraft be transferred to and
held by a special purpose company controlled by the respective lenders. We have entered into lease agreements on these aircraft which transfer the risk and rewards of ownership of the aircraft to
AerCap. The obligations outstanding under the export credit facilities are secured by, among other things, a pledge of the shares of the company which holds legal title to the aircraft financed under
the facility. Each subsidiary's obligations under the financings are guaranteed by AerCap Holdings N.V.

Certain Covenants.The export credit facilities contain affirmative covenants customary for secured
financings. The facilities also contain net worth financial covenants. In addition, loans under the 2003 export credit facilities contain change of control provisions that grant the lenders the right
to prepayment of their loans in the event of a change of control, unless the lenders consent to the change of control, which was obtained in connection with the 2005 Acquisition. A change of control
occurs under our April 2003 export credit facility if our shares cease to be listed on The New York Stock Exchange unless, at the time our shares cease to be listed on The New York Stock Exchange, at
least 66.66% of our ordinary shares are owned and controlled by one or more shareholders rated at least
BBB- by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services and Baa3 or more by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.

Aircraft Lease Securitisation

General.On May 8, 2007, we completed a refinancing of our securitization of the Aircraft
Lease Securitisation with the issuance of $1.66 billion of securitized notes in one class of AAA-rated class G-3 floating rate notes. The proceeds from the
refinancing were used to redeem all outstanding Aircraft Lease Securitisation debt, other than the most junior class of notes, to refinance the indebtedness that

70

---



had
been incurred to purchase 24 previously acquired aircraft, and to finance the purchase of four additional new aircraft, increasing Aircraft Lease Securitisation's aircraft portfolio size to 70
aircraft. The primary source of payments on the notes is lease payments on the aircraft owned by the subsidiaries of Aircraft Lease Securitisation. We retained the most junior class of notes in the
securitization, as a result of which we still consolidate Aircraft Lease Securitisation's results in our financial statements.

MBIA
Insurance Corporation issued a financial guaranty insurance policy to support the payment of interest when due and principal on the final maturity on the new notes, which are rated
Aaa and AAA by Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, respectively.

Liquidity.Calyon provided a liquidity facility in the amount of $72.0 million, which may be
drawn upon to pay expenses of Aircraft Lease Securitisation and its subsidiaries, senior hedge payments and interest on the new senior class of notes.

Interest Rate.Set forth below is the interest rate for the class of note not held by us.

Amount outstanding at
December 31, 2007

Interest rate(US dollars in thousands)Class G3 notes

$
1,407,623

One month LIBOR plus 0.26%


Aircraft Management Services.We provide lease and aircraft management and re-leasing and
remarketing services for Aircraft Lease Securitisation's aircraft, for which we receive a retainer fee of 0.212% per year of the initial appraised value of the aircraft, which was $2.1 billion,
a monthly fee equal to 1.0% of the aggregate rent actually paid each month, and a sales-based incentive fee of 1.25% of the specified target sales prices for the sale or insured loss of an aircraft.
The target sales price for an aircraft is 90% of the appraised value of the aircraft, which is adjusted annually. We also provide insurance services for which we receive an annual fee of $50,000 and
administrative services for which we receive a monthly fee of $1,380 for each aircraft, subject to annual adjustments for inflation and a minimum of $0.2 million per year.

We
may be terminated as manager and administrative agent by Aircraft Lease Securitisation or MBIA Insurance Corporation if we default on our obligations as manager or administrative
agent or become insolvent. In addition, we may be terminated as manager if:



We,
as manager, may not be removed or resign prior to the expiration of the servicing agreement unless a replacement manager has been appointed.

Payment Terms.The interest and principal payments on the notes are due on a monthly basis. To the
extent that the amount of funds available for payment on any payment date exceeds the amount needed to pay all payments having an equal or higher priority under the trust indenture, any such excess
funds will be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the new notes by distributing such excess amount in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in the trust indenture.

71

---



Aircraft Lease Securitisation may voluntarily redeem the new notes at a price that equals the outstanding principal balance of the applicable notes multiplied by a scheduled percentage.
On the closing date of the securitization, the scheduled percentage for the new notes was 101% for the class G-3 notes, and such percentage decreases gradually until May 15,
2010. On that date, the redemption price of the notes will equal the outstanding principal balance of the notes. In addition, Aircraft Lease Securitisation must pay any accrued but unpaid interest on
the notes and any premium due to MBIA Insurance Corporation upon redemption of the notes. Aircraft Lease Securitisation may redeem the notes in whole or in part, provided that if a default notice has
been given under the trust indenture or the maturity of any notes has been accelerated then Aircraft Lease Securitisation may only redeem the notes in whole.

Maturity Date.The final maturity date of the notes will be May 10, 2032.

Collateral.The property of Aircraft Lease Securitisation includes the rights under the financial guaranty insurance policy.
The notes are secured by security interests in and pledges or assignments of equity ownership and beneficial interests in the subsidiaries of Aircraft Lease Securitisation, as well as by the interests
of Aircraft Lease Securitisation's subsidiaries' interests in leases of the aircraft they own, by cash held by or for them and by their rights under agreements with the service providers. Rentals and
reserves paid under leases of the Aircraft Lease Securitisation aircraft will be placed in a collection account and paid out according to a priority of payments.

UBS Revolving Credit Facility

General.On April 26, 2006, our consolidated subsidiary, AerFunding 1 Limited entered into a
non recourse senior secured revolving credit facility in the aggregate amount of up to $1.0 billion with UBS Real Estate Securities Inc., UBS Securities Inc., Deutsche Bank Trust
Company Americas and certain other financial institutions. The revolving loans under the UBS revolving credit facility are divided into two classes: class A loans, which have a maximum advance
limit of $830.0 million and class B loans, which have a maximum advance limit of $170.0 million. As of December 31, 2007, we had $61.1 million of loans outstanding
under the UBS revolving credit facility.

Borrowings
under the UBS revolving credit facility can be used to finance between 66% and 79% of the appraised value of the acquired aircraft or, in the case of Boeing 737NG and Airbus
A320 family aircraft, between 74% and 80% of the lower of the purchase price and the appraised value of the acquired aircraft. In addition, value enhancing expenditures and required liquidity reserves
are also funded by the lenders. All borrowings under the UBS revolving credit facility are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions and restrictions on the purchase of aircraft that would
result in our portfolio becoming too highly concentrated, with regard to both aircraft type and geographical location. Notwithstanding these restrictions, we believe that the UBS revolving credit
facility provides us with significant flexibility to purchase and finance aircraft.

Interest Rate.Borrowings under the UBS revolving credit facility bear interest (a) in the
case of class A loans, based on the eurodollar rate plus the class A applicable margin, or (b) in the case of class B loans, based on the eurodollar rate plus the
class B applicable margin. The following table sets

Payment Terms.Interest on the loans is due on a monthly basis. Principal on the loans amortizes on a
monthly basis to the extent funds are available. All outstanding principal not paid during the term is due on the maturity date.

Prepayment.Advances under the UBS revolving credit facility may be prepaid without penalty upon
notice, subject to certain conditions. Mandatory partial prepayments of borrowings under the UBS revolving credit facility are required:



Maturity Date.The maturity date of the UBS revolving credit facility is May 12, 2014.

Cash Reserve.AerFunding is required to maintain up to 6.0% of the borrowing value of the aircraft in
reserve for the benefit of the class A and B lenders. Amounts held in reserve for the benefit of the class A and B lenders are available to the extent there are insufficient funds to pay
required expenses, hedge payments or principal of or interest on the class A and B loans on any payment date. The amounts on reserve are funded by the lenders.

Collateral.Borrowings under the UBS revolving credit facility are secured by, among other things,
security interests in and pledges or assignments of equity ownership and beneficial interests in all of the subsidiaries of AerFunding, as well as by AerFunding's interests in the leases of its
assets.

Certain Covenants.The UBS revolving credit facility contains covenants that, among other things,
restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the ability of AerFunding and its subsidiaries to:

AeroTurbine Calyon Credit Facility

General.On December 19, 2007, AeroTurbine entered into a second amended and restated senior
credit agreement with Calyon and certain other financial institutions identified therein. Pursuant to this agreement, the total commitment of the credit facility under the first amended senior credit
agreement increased from $220.0 million to $328.0 million, and a letter of credit facility in the commitment amount of $10.0 million (which amount is included in the total
commitment of $328.0 million) was added. As of December 31, 2007, AeroTurbine had $111.2 million outstanding under the Calyon credit facility.

Interest Rate.Under the Calyon credit facility, AeroTurbine can borrow revolving loans based on
either LIBOR or ABR (which is a rate per annum equal to the greater of the prime rate in effect on such
day and the federals funds effective rate in effect on such day plus 1/4 of 1%). Set forth below are the interest rates for the Calyon revolving loan facility.

things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the ability of AeroTurbine to:



Japanese Operating Lease Financings

General.We entered into several Japanese operating lease financing structures to finance aircraft
acquisitions. Funding under these structures is provided through a combination of senior commercial bank debt and subordinated loans from Japanese investors. At December 31, 2007, we had
financed three aircraft under Japanese operating lease financings. The aggregate principal amount of the loans outstanding under Japanese operating leases financings was $95.8 million as of
December 31, 2007.

financed under the facility. Each subsidiary's obligations under the financings are guaranteed by AerCap Holdings N.V.

Certain Covenants.Our Japanese operating leases financings contain affirmative covenants customary
for secured financings.

AerVenture Pre-delivery Payment Facility

General.In November 2005, AerVenture signed a letter of intent to purchase up to 70 Airbus A320
family aircraft. A purchase agreement for the aircraft was signed in January 2006. The aircraft are scheduled to be delivered between November 2007 and August 2010. Under the purchase agreement,
AerVenture agreed to make scheduled pre-delivery payments to Airbus prior to the physical

75

delivery
of each aircraft. In connection with the scheduled delivery of the first 30 aircraft before the end of 2009, AerVenture and Calyon entered into a facility on November 3, 2006, as
amended and restated on July 27, 2007, in which Calyon has arranged a credit facility, the AerVenture facility, to finance a portion of the pre-delivery payments to Airbus in an
amount up to $207.5 million.

Prior
to drawing on the AerVenture facility, AerVenture will pay, on average, 15% of the pre-delivery payment amount owed for each aircraft. AerVenture must repay the lenders
for the amounts drawn for the pre-delivery payment for each aircraft at the delivery date of that aircraft or, if the aircraft is not delivered on the scheduled delivery date, within three
months of the scheduled delivery date. We agreed with Calyon that we will invest at least an additional $25 million in AerVenture, subject to limited exceptions. The aggregate principal amount
of the loans outstanding under the AerVenture pre-delivery payment facility was $87.0 million as of December 31, 2007.

Interest Rate.Borrowings under the AerVenture facility will bear interest at a floating interest
rate of three-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.00%, payable quarterly in arrears.

Prepayment.Borrowings under the AerVenture facility may be prepaid without penalty, except for break
funding costs if payment is made on a day other than an interest payment date. AerVenture will be required to repay the pre delivery payment financing relating to an aircraft on the date the aircraft
is delivered to AerVenture.

Maturity Date.The maturity date of the AerVenture facility will be November 3, 2009, however,
in the event of delayed delivery of the aircraft, the maturity date may be extended up to the earlier of (i) the delayed delivery date of the aircraft and (ii) January 31, 2010,
for the repayment of the indebtedness financing the pre-delivery payments of the delayed aircraft.

Collateral.Borrowings under the AerVenture facility are secured by, among other things, the partial
assignment of the airframe and engine purchase agreements in respect of the 30 aircraft covered by the facility, including the right to take delivery of the aircraft where Calyon has provided the
pre-delivery payments and the aircraft remains undelivered.

Certain Covenants.The AerVenture facility contains customary affirmative and financial covenants for
secured financings and a restriction on the payment of dividends while the facility is outstanding. All other financial covenants were removed when the facility was amended in July 2007. In addition,
AerCap has agreed to maintain a minimum of 25% of the shares of AerVenture until the AerVenture facility is fully repaid.

A330 Pre-delivery Payment Facility

General.In December 2006, we signed a purchase agreement to purchase up to 20 Airbus A330 aircraft.
In May 2007, the purchase agreement was amended to add 10 additional A330 aircraft. The aircraft are scheduled to be delivered between the first quarter of 2009 and the last quarter of 2012. Under the
purchase agreement, we agreed to make scheduled pre-delivery payments to Airbus prior to the physical delivery of each aircraft. In connection with the scheduled delivery of the first
eight aircraft before the end of 2009, we entered into a facility in October 2007, which was arranged by Citigroup Global Markets Limited, to finance a portion of the pre-delivery payments
to Airbus in an amount up to $182.6 million. Prior to drawing on the facility, will pay, on average, 10% of the pre-delivery payment amount owed for each aircraft. We must repay the
lenders for the amounts drawn for the pre-delivery payment for each aircraft at the delivery date of that aircraft or, if the aircraft is not delivered on the scheduled delivery date,
within three months of the scheduled delivery date. The aggregate principal amount of the loans outstanding under this facility was $28.4 million as of December 31, 2007.

76

---



Interest Rate.Borrowings under this facility bear interest at a floating interest rate of
one-month LIBOR plus a margin of 0.75%, payable monthly in arrears after the initial drawing on the AerCap Facility.

Prepayment.Borrowings under this facility may be prepaid (subject to minimum amounts of
$5.0 million or integral multiples thereof and subject to AerCap Holdings N.V. giving the agent at least 10 Business Days' notice) without penalty, except for break funding costs if
payment is made on a day other than an interest payment date.

Maturity Date.The maturity date of this facility will be the earlier of (a) the delivery date
for the final aircraft to be delivered and (b) 31 January 2010.

Collateral.Borrowings under this facility are secured by, among other things, the partial assignment
of the airframe and engine purchase agreements in respect of the eight aircraft covered by the facility, including the right to take delivery of the aircraft where the Lenders have provided the
pre-delivery payments and the aircraft remains undelivered.

Guarantee.AerCap Holdings N.V. guarantees the performance by AerCap Ireland Limited of its
obligations under this facility and related documentation.

Certain Covenants.This facility contains customary covenants for secured financings. We also
covenant in this facility (a) not to elect to change the configuration of any aircraft from a multi-passenger layout; and (b) to prepay to the relevant manufacturer or supplier any SCN
or BFE costs incurred in excess of the agreed budgets set out in this facility..

GATX Aircraft Calyon Facility

General.On October 12, 2006, a wholly owned subsidiary entered into a senior secured loan
facility in the aggregate amount of up to $248.0 million with Calyon and certain other financial institutions in
order to finance the purchase of up to 25 aircraft from GATX. Borrowings under the senior facility were used to finance the lesser of 70% of the purchase price of each aircraft and a scheduled
percentage of the loan amount allocated to such aircraft. Concurrently with the facility, we provided junior and subordinated debt to finance the balance of the purchase price. This subsidiary entered
into (a) a junior loan facility with us in an aggregate amount of up to $30.5 million to finance a portion of the purchase price of each aircraft not financed under the senior facility
and (b) a subordinated note purchase agreement to finance the portion of the purchase price of each such aircraft not financed under the senior facility or the junior facility.

We,
or one of our wholly owned subsidiaries currently provide the junior loan facility and the subordinated note financing. As of December 31, 2007, the amount outstanding under
the senior facility was $128.4 million.

On
December 20, 2007, the original facility was amended and supplemented to allow for an additional senior facility in an aggregate amount of up to $150.0 million to be
provided by Calyon and certain other financial institutions. This additional facility is available to finance a percentage (calculated by reference to relevant aircraft types and lease status) of the
purchase price of a variety of specified aircraft makes and models. We concurrently provide subordinated debt to finance the balance of the purchase price of such additional aircraft under the amended
subordinated note purchase agreement, to which the additional borrower has acceded. As of December 31, 2007, no drawings had been made under the additional Facility.

The
original borrower and the additional borrower are jointly and severally liable for their respective obligations and liabilities under the original facility, the additional facility
and all related documentation.

77

---



Interest Rate.Borrowings under the senior facilities bear interest at a rate of one month LIBOR plus
1.75% per annum for the first five years of the term, and at a rate of one month LIBOR plus 2.25% per annum for the remainder of the term.

Prepayment.After full repayment of amounts outstanding under the liquidity facility described below,
prepayment of borrowings under the senior facilities is permitted with notice, subject to a prepayment fee during the initial two years of the senior facility. Mandatory prepayments of borrowings
related to a particular aircraft are required:



Payment Terms.Payments of principal and interest under the loan are due on a monthly basis, and all
outstanding principal not paid during the term is due on the final maturity date.

Maturity Date.The final maturity date of the loans is October 17, 2014.

Put to AerCap.If the junior and senior loans attributable to any financed aircraft are not paid by
the earlier of (a) the 21st anniversary of the date of manufacture of such aircraft and (b) the final maturity date of the loans, then the collateral agent for the lenders may
cause such aircraft to be sold to our wholly owned subsidiary, AerCap B.V., for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the junior and senior loans attributable to such
aircraft together with breakage costs plus a pro rata portion of any amounts outstanding under the liquidity facility and taxes and expenses.

Liquidity Facility.Calyon have provided a liquidity facility in the maximum amount of
$27.0 million through December 2009; thereafter the liquidity facility is available in an amount equal to the difference between (i) $27.0 million multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the aggregate outstanding principal amount under the senior facilities and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount outstanding under the senior facilities at December
2009. The liquidity facility may be drawn upon to finance any shortfall in certain amounts owed on any repayment date, including, minimum principal payments, payments of interest due under the senior
or junior facility and certain expenses.

Aircraft Management Services.We will provide aircraft management services in respect of the financed
aircraft, for which we will receive a fee.

Collateral.Borrowings under the senior facility are secured by mortgages on the aircraft and
security interest in and pledges or assignments of all the shares and other ownership interests in the borrowers and their subsidiaries, as well as their bank accounts and lease interests.

Certain Covenants.The loans include general and operating covenants that restrict the borrowers from
incurring additional indebtedness and other limitations which are customary for such credit facilities.

Other Commercial Bank Financings

We have entered into various commercial bank financings to fund the purchase of aircraft. The financings mature at various dates through 2019. The interest rates
are LIBOR based with spreads ranging from 0.95% to 1.80%. The financings are secured by, among other things, a pledge of the shares of the subsidiaries owning the related aircraft, a guarantee from us
and, in certain cases, a mortgage on the applicable aircraft. The aggregate principal amount of the loans outstanding under the commercial bank financings was $231.4 million as of
December 31, 2007.

All
of our financings contain affirmative covenants customary for secured financings. Four of the commercial bank financings contain change of control provisions that grant the lenders
the right to prepayment of their loans in the event of a change of control, unless the lenders consent to the change of control.

Equity Incentive Plan

The Bermuda Parents, our indirect shareholders, have implemented an equity incentive plan that is designed to motivate and retain individuals who are responsible
for the attainment of our primary long-term performance goals. The plan provides for the grant of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options for shares of common stock and
restricted shares of common stock of the Bermuda Parents to participants of the plan selected by the boards of directors of the Bermuda Parents or a committee of each of their respective boards of
directors or the administrator of the plan. Subject to certain adjustments, the maximum number of shares available to be granted under the plan is equal to 25% of the outstanding common shares of the
Bermuda Parents. As of December 2007, common

shares
or options to purchase common shares of the Bermuda Parents, representing indirectly 8.5% of our ordinary shares on a fully diluted basis, were issued and are outstanding under the plan.

shares and options granted under the Bermuda Parents equity incentive plan vested after completion of our initial public offering in November 2006 or as of December 31, 2007,
except for options outstanding to three members of management representing indirectly 0.5% of our ordinary shares. Even after vesting, pursuant to a shareholders agreement, all vested common shares

Bermuda Parents in the event the manager leaves his position without good cause or is terminated by us with cause, at a price equal to the lower of the cost or fair value until the termination of the
two-year lock-up period described below. All common shares and options to purchase common shares are also subject to repurchase at fair value if the manager leaves for any
other reason. The common shares of the Bermuda Parents are also subject to Cerberus's drag-along rights and the plan participant's tag-along rights in the event of certain
transactions involving sales of the common shares of the Bermuda Parents.

In

held by them or indirectly held through the Bermuda Parents. Subject to limited exceptions, the lock-up is for a period of two years from the date of our initial public offering was
consummated. In addition, the members of our senior management and directors holding common shares of the Bermuda Parents also have received the right, beginning on the second anniversary our initial
public offering and ending on the fifth anniversary, to exchange Bermuda Parents common shares for our ordinary shares held by the selling shareholders in amounts representing their indirect interest
in us held through the Bermuda Parents. To assist our management and directors in the resale of our ordinary shares to be held by them upon such exchange, we have agreed to file a registration
statement and use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement continuously effective until all applicable ordinary shares have been sold or can be sold without registration
under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act.

The
indirect ownership in our ordinary shares represented by the grants of shares and options discussed above are reflected in the table under "Share Ownership".

of Directors. Subject to certain adjustments, the maximum number of shares available to be granted under the plan is equal to 5% of our outstanding shares.

The
terms and conditions of awards, including vesting provisions for stock options, are determined by the Nomination and Compensation Committee, except that, unless otherwise determined
by the Nomination and Compensation Committee, or as set forth in an award agreement: (a) each stock option is granted for ten years from the date of grant, or, in the case of certain key
employees, i.e., employees owning more than 10% of our ordinary shares, for five years from the date of grant; provided, however, no stock option period may extend beyond ten years from the
date of grant; (b) the option price per share for incentive stock options may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the ordinary shares except that the option price per share for a
key employee may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the ordinary shares at the time the incentive stock option is granted;

and
(c) incentive stock options may only be issued to the extent the aggregate fair market value of shares with respect to the exercise of the incentive stock options for the first time by an
option holder during any calendar year is $100,000 or less, with any additional stock options being treated as nonqualified stock options.

In
September 2007, a total of 2.4 million non-qualified stock options were issued under the equity incentive plan to certain employees of the Company. All options
issued vest over a period of four years based on both time and performance-based criteria and all options are exercisable at a strike price of $24.63 per share option.

Board Practices

General

Our Board of Directors currently consists of nine directors, eight of whom are non executive directors and are independent under the independence definition in
The Netherlands Corporate Governance Code. As a foreign private issuer, as defined by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we are not required to have a majority independent board of
directors under applicable New York Stock Exchange rules.

We
apply the Netherlands Corporate Governance Code independence criteria. According to these criteria, to be considered "independent", a director (and his or her spouse and immediate
relatives) may not, among other things, (i) in the five years prior to his or her appointment, have been an employee or executive director of us or any Dutch public company affiliated with us,
(ii) in the year prior to his or her appointment, have had an important business relationship with us or any Netherlands public company affiliated with us, (iii) receive any financial
compensation from us other than for the performance of his or her duties as a director or other than in the ordinary course of business, (iv) hold 10% or more of our ordinary shares (including
ordinary shares subject to any shareholder's agreement), (v) be a member of the management or supervisory board of a company owning 10% or more of our ordinary shares, and (vi) in the
year prior to his or her appointment, has temporarily managed our day-to-day affairs while the executive director was unable to discharge his or her duties.

The
directors are appointed at the general meeting of the shareholders. Our directors may be elected by the vote of a majority of votes cast at a general meeting of shareholders provided
that our Board of Directors has proposed the election. Without a Board of Directors proposal, directors may also be elected by the vote of a majority of the votes cast at a general meeting of
shareholders if the majority represents at least one-third of our issued capital.

Shareholders
may remove or suspend a director by the vote of a majority of the votes cast at a general meeting of shareholders provided that our Board of Directors has proposed the
removal. Our shareholders may also remove or suspend a director, without there being a proposal by the Board of Directors, by the vote of a majority of the votes cast at a general meeting of
shareholders if the majority represents at least one-third of our issued capital.

Under
our Articles of Association, the rules for the Board of Directors and the board committees and Netherlands corporate law, the members of the Board of Directors are collectively
responsible for the management, general and financial affairs and policy and strategy of our company.

The
executive director is our Chief Executive Officer, who is primarily responsible for managing our day-to-day affairs as well as other responsibilities that
have been delegated to the executive director in accordance with our Articles of Association and our internal rules for the Board of Directors. The non-executive directors supervise the
Chief Executive Officer and our general affairs and provide general advice to our Chief Executive Officer. In performing their duties, the non-executive directors are guided by the
interests of the company and shall, within the boundaries set by relevant Netherlands law, take into account the relevant interests of our shareholders. The internal affairs of the Board of Directors
are governed by our rules for the Board of Directors.

85

---





The Chairman of the Board is obligated to ensure, among other things, that (i) each director receives all information about matters that he or she may deem useful or necessary in
connection with the proper performance of his or her duties, (ii) each director has sufficient time for consultation and decision making, and (iii) the Board of Directors and the board
committees are properly constituted and functioning.

Each
director has the right to cast one vote and may be represented at a meeting of the Board of Directors by a fellow director. The Board of Directors may pass resolutions only if a
quorum of four directors, including our Chief Executive Officer, the Chairman or Vice Chairman is present at the meeting. All resolutions must be passed by an absolute majority of the votes cast. If
there is a tie, the matter will be decided by the Chairman of our Board of Directors or in his or her absence, the Vice Chairman.

Subject
to Netherlands law, resolutions may be passed in writing by a majority of the directors in office. Pursuant to the internal rules for our Board of Directors, a director may not
participate in discussions or the decision making process on a transaction or subject in relation to which he or she has a conflict of interest with us. Resolutions to enter into such transactions
must be approved by a majority of our Board of Directors, excluding such interested director or directors.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has established a Group Executive Committee, a Group Portfolio and Investment Committee, a Group Treasury and Accounting Committee, an
Audit Committee and a Nomination and Compensation Committee.

Our
Group Executive Committee is responsible for our operational management. It is chaired by our Chief Executive Officer and is comprised of ten current members of our senior
management. The current members of our Group Executive Committee are Klaus Heinemann, Heinrich Loechteken, Keith Helming, Aengus Kelly, Patrick den Elzen, Erwin den Dikken, Reynoud Simonis, Cole
Reese, Soeren Ferré and Anil Mehta.

Our
Group Portfolio and Investment Committee has authority to enter into and is responsible for transactions relating to the acquisition and disposal of aircraft, engines and financial
assets that are in excess of $100 million but less than $500 million. It is chaired by our Chief Investment Officer and is comprised of members of the Group Executive Committee and
non-executive directors or any other person appointed by the Board of Directors upon recommendation of the Nomination and Compensation Committee. The current members of our Group Portfolio
and Investment Committee are Keith Helming, Soeren Ferré, Heinrich Loechteken, Klaus Heinemann, Robert Warden, Patrick den Elzen, Aengus Kelly, Nicolas Finazzo and James Chapman.

Our

transaction. It is chaired by our Chief Financial Officer and is comprised of certain members of the Group Executive Committee and certain non-executive directors or any other person
appointed by the Board of Directors upon recommendation of the Nomination and Compensation Committee. The current members of our Group Treasury and Accounting Committee are Keith Helming, Cole Reese,
David Teitelbaum, Klaus Heinemann, Aengus Kelly, Paul Rofe, Tom Kelly, Marius Jonkhart and Robert Warden.

Our
Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its responsibilities relating to the integrity of our financial statements, our risk management and internal control
arrangements, our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the performance, qualifications and independence of external auditors, and the performance of the internal audit function. The
Audit Committee is chaired by a person with the necessary qualifications who is appointed by the Board of Directors and is comprised of three non-executive directors who are "independent"
as defined by Rule 10A-3 of the

86

---



Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as well as under The Netherlands Corporate Governance Code. The current members of our Audit Committee are Marius Jonkhart, James Chapman and Ronald
Bolger.

Our
Nomination and Compensation Committee selects, recruits and determines the remuneration, bonuses and other terms of employment of candidates for the positions of the Chief Executive
Officer, non-executive director and Chairman of the Board of Directors, approves the remuneration, bonuses and other terms of employment and recommends candidates for positions in the
Group Portfolio and Investment Committee, the Group Treasury and Accounting Committee, the Group Executive Committee and recommends candidates for the Audit Committee and plans the succession within
the Board of Directors and committees. It is chaired by the Chairman of our Board of Directors and is comprised of two non-executive directors appointed by the Board of Directors. The
current members of our Nomination and Compensation Committee are Brett Ingersoll, Marius Jonkhart and Pieter Korteweg.

Nomination and Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of our Nomination and Compensation Committee members or our executive officers have a relationship that would constitute an interlocking relationship with
executive officers or directors of another entity or insider participation in compensation decisions.

None
of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement and we believe that we maintain excellent employee relations. Although by law we are required to have a works
council for our operations in The Netherlands, our employees have not elected to date to organize a works council. A works council is an employee organization that is granted statutory rights to be
involved in certain of the company's decision making processes. The exercise of such rights, however, must not only promote the interests of employees, but also take into account the interests of the
company and its shareholders.

Related Party Transactions

The following is a summary of material provisions of various transactions we have entered into with related parties since January 1, 2005.



AerDragon consists of two joint venture companies Dragon Aviation Leasing Company Limited, or Dragon, based in China and AerDragon Aviation Partners Limited or
AerDragon, based in Ireland. Both companies are owned 50% by China Aviation Supplies Import & Export Group Corporation, 25% by affiliates of Calyon and 25% by AerCap. In 2007, AerCap assigned a
purchase right it had with Airbus under AerCap's 1999 forward order agreement relating to an A320 aircraft which was then directly acquired by AerDragon. In addition, during 2007 AerCap sold an A320
aircraft that was subject to a lease with an airline to AerDragon and guaranteed the performance of AerDragon under debt which was assumed by AerDragon from AerCap in the transaction. Both of these
transactions were executed at terms, which we believe reflected market conditions at the time. AerCap provides lease management, insurance management and aircraft asset management services to
AerDragon. AerCap charged AerDragon a total of $0.2 million as a guarantee fee and for these management services during 2007. We apply equity accounting for our 25% investment in both joint
venture companies. Accordingly, the income statement effects of all transactions with either of the joint venture companies are eliminated in our financial statements.

AerCo is an aircraft securitization vehicle from which we hold all of the most junior class of subordinated notes and some notes immediately senior to those junior notes. We do not
recognize value for the AerCo notes which we still hold on our consolidated balance sheets. Through March 2003 we consolidated AerCo, but we deconsolidated the vehicle in accordance with FIN 46
at that time. Subsequent to the deconsolidation of AerCo, we have received interest from AerCo on its D note investment of $1.7 million, $0.8 million, $1.7 million and
$0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, the period from June 27, 2005 to December 31, 2005, the year ended December 31, 2006 and the year ended
December 31, 2007, respectively. In addition, we provide a variety of management services to AerCo for which we received fees of $2.4 million, $2.4 million, $5.2 million
and $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, the period from June 27, 2005 to December 31, 2005, the year ended December 31, 2006 and the year ended
December 31, 2007, respectively.

We
have made payments to Cerberus and third parties on behalf of Cerberus totaling approximately $1.2 million since the 2005 Acquisition. The payments to Cerberus represent
reimbursement of consulting fees paid by Cerberus to individuals who have assisted us in the evaluation of portfolio or company purchases, including our AeroTurbine Acquisition. In addition, this
amount also includes approximately $0.2 million of reimbursements for consulting services incurred by Cerberus in connection with Cerberus's evaluation of the 2005 Acquisition. If we accept
services from individuals employed by or contracted through Cerberus in the future, we will establish consulting agreements directly with such individuals instead of working with them through
Cerberus. We expect these arrangements to reflect arms' length negotiations that will not be more favorable than the terms we could negotiate with an independent party. Payments to third parties on
behalf of Cerberus consist of payments to advisors engaged by Cerberus in connection with the 2005 Acquisition.

We
lease two A320-200 model aircraft to Air Canada. Both leases expire in 2014. Cerberus indirectly controls 6.7% of the equity of Air Canada and 45.8% of the equity interest
in AerCap Holdings N.V.

In
February 2006, we entered into a guarantee arrangement with DvB Bank AG and Aozora Bank Limited, an entity that is majority-owned by Cerberus. In addition, Pieter Korteweg, the
Chairman of our Board of Directors, and Marius Jacques Leonard Jonkhart, a non-executive director, are also on the board of directors of Aozora Bank. The guarantee supports certain of our
obligations to a Japanese operating lessor of up to $13.8 million in connection with a JOL financing. The Japanese operating lessor required the guarantee as additional credit support following
the 2005 Acquisition. We leased the A320 aircraft from the Japanese operating lessor under a lease and then subleased the aircraft to an aircraft operator. In the event we fail to make certain
payments related to JOL financing, DvB Bank will make the payment on our behalf but will be reimbursed by Aozora Bank for any payments made. We have agreed to indemnify Aozora Bank for any payments it
makes under the
guarantee arrangement. The guarantee expires in March 2010. Under the terms of the guarantee arrangement, we are required to provide cash collateral to Aozora Bank if we breach certain financial
covenants. Currently we are not in breach of any of these covenants and have not provided any cash collateral. In connection with the guarantee arrangement, we pay Aozora Bank a guarantee fee of 4.1%
per annum of the amount guaranteed and have provided Aozora Bank with a second priority share pledge over the shares of the entity that entered into the financing from the Japanese operating lessor.

In
April 2006, we entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility in the aggregate amount of up to $1.0 billion with UBS Real Estate Securities Inc., UBS
Securities Inc., Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas and certain other financial institutions. Aozora Bank is a syndicate member under the facility and participated in up to
$50.0 million of the Class A loans and up to $25.0 million of the Class B loans issued thereunder, representing 7.0% of the Class A loans and 13.9% of the
Class B loans. As of December 31, 2007, we had drawn and there remained outstanding $48.8 million of the class A loans and $12.3 million of the class B loans.

Until
November 2007, our AeroTurbine subsidiary leased their office and warehouse located in Miami, Florida from an entity owned by the current Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Operating Officer of AeroTurbine. In November 2007, the entity sold the office and warehouse to an unrelated third-party. AeroTurbine continues to occupy the premises under a lease which expires in
2013.

In
2004, we entered into leases for six A320 aircraft with WizzAir Hungary Limited. As part of a subsequent restructuring of amounts outstanding, WizzAir agreed to issue us shares of
their equity representing 17.4% of their equity as of November 2004. In 2005, we agreed with WizzAir's other shareholders and creditors to enter into a Shareholders' and Noteholders' Agreement under
which we agreed to convert trade receivables into an unsecured, non-amortizing € 7.8 million note, convertible into approximately 26% of WizzAir's
outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis as of February 2005). Under the terms of the Shareholders' and Noteholders' Agreement we were able to appoint a director of WizzAir between February 2005
and June 2005. The convertible notes were carried on our balance sheet at December 31, 2005 at $1.8 million. We sold all of our WizzAir convertible notes in September 2006.



Until the 2005 Acquisition, the Previous Shareholder Lenders had provided us with subordinated loans for a total of $350.6 million as at
December 31, 2004. The interest rates on these loans were variable and are calculated on the basis of six-month LIBOR. Interest of $10.9 million and $7.4 million
was included in interest on indebtedness for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. These loans were acquired at the 2005 Acquisition by
AerCap Holdings C.V. and are eliminated in consolidation in these consolidated accounts.

The
Previous Shareholder Lenders also participated in our senior credit agreements prior to the 2005 Acquisition. A total of $1,516.6 million was outstanding under these credit
agreements at December 31, 2004. The interest rate on the credit facility is variable and is calculated on the basis of LIBOR. Interest on the senior debt of $61.6 million and
$34.8 million is included in interest on debt for the year ended December 31, 2004 and for the six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively.

Wings
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of DASA, who is wholly-owned by one of our Previous Shareholder Lenders. We provide aircraft lease management and remarketing services to Wings for
which we received fees of $1.6 million and $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the six months ended June 30, 2005, after which Wings is no longer a
related party due to the sale of our shares by our Previous Shareholder Lenders.

Item 10.    Additional Information.

Memorandum and articles of association.

Set out below is a summary description of our ordinary shares and related material provisions of our articles of association and of Book 2 of The Netherlands
Civil Code (Boek 2 van het Burgerlijk Wetboek), which governs the rights of holders of our ordinary shares.

Ordinary Share Capital

As of December 31, 2007, we had 200,000,000 authorized ordinary shares, par value €0.01 per share, of which 85,036,957 were issued and
outstanding.

92

---



Pursuant
to our articles of association, our ordinary shares may only be held in registered form. All of our ordinary shares are registered in a register kept by us or on our behalf by
our transfer agent. Transfer of registered shares requires a written deed of transfer and the acknowledgment by the Company. Our ordinary shares are freely transferable.

Issuance of Ordinary Shares

A general meeting of shareholders can approve the issuance of ordinary shares or rights to subscribe for ordinary shares, but only in response to a proposal for
such issuance submitted by the Board of Directors specifying the price and further terms and conditions. In the alternative, the shareholders may designate to our Board of Directors' authority to
approve the issuance and price of issue of ordinary shares. The delegation may be for any period of up to five years and must specify the maximum number of ordinary shares that may be issued.

Prior
to our initial public offering in November 2006, pursuant to our articles of association, our shareholders delegated to our Board of Directors for a period of five years, the power
to issue and/or grant rights to subscribe for ordinary shares up to the maximum amount of our authorized share capital which, as of the date of this annual report was 200.0 million ordinary
shares.

Preemptive Rights

Unless limited or excluded by our shareholders or Board of Directors as described below, holders of ordinary shares have a pro rata preemptive right to subscribe
for any ordinary shares that we issue, except for ordinary shares issued for non-cash consideration or ordinary shares issued to our employees.

Shareholders
may limit or exclude preemptive rights. Shareholders may also delegate the power to limit or exclude preemptive rights to our Board of Directors with respect to ordinary
shares, the issuance of which has been authorized by our shareholders. Prior to our initial public offering in November 2006, pursuant to our articles of association, the power to limit or exclude
preemptive rights has been delegated to our Board of Directors for a period of five years.

Repurchase of Our Ordinary Shares

We may acquire our ordinary shares, subject to certain provisions of the laws of The Netherlands and of our articles of association, if the following conditions
are met:



Capital Reduction; Cancellation

Shareholders may reduce our issued share capital either by cancelling ordinary shares held in treasury or by amending our articles of association to reduce the
par value of the ordinary shares. A resolution to reduce our capital requires the approval of at least an absolute majority of the votes cast and, if less than one half of the share capital is
represented at a meeting at which a vote is taken, the approval of at least two-thirds of the votes cast.

93

---



A partial repayment of ordinary shares under the laws of The Netherlands is only allowed upon the adoption of a resolution to reduce the par value of the ordinary shares. The repayment
must be made pro rata on all ordinary shares. The pro rata requirement may be waived with the consent of all affected shareholders. In some circumstances, our creditors may be able to prevent a
resolution to reduce our share capital from taking effect.

Risk Management and Control Framework

Our management is responsible for designing, implementing and operating an adequate functioning internal risk management and control framework. The purpose of
this framework is to identify and manage the strategic, operational, financial and compliance risks to which we are exposed, to promote effectiveness and efficiency of our operations, to promote
reliable financial reporting and to promote compliance with laws and regulations. Our internal risk management and control framework is based on the COSO framework developed by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992). The COSO framework aims to provide reasonable assurance regarding effectiveness and efficiency of an entity's operations, reliability of
financial reporting, prevention of fraud and compliance with laws and regulations.

Our
internal risk management and control framework has the following key components:

Planning and control cycle

The planning and control cycle consists of an annual budget and business plan prepared by management and approved by our Board of Directors, quarterly forecasts
and operational reviews and monthly financial reporting.

Code of Conduct and Whistleblower Policy

Our Code of Conduct is applicable to all our employees, including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and controllers. It is designed to promote
honest and ethical conduct and timely and accurate disclosure in our periodic financial results. Our Whistleblower Policy provides for the reporting of alleged violations of the Code of Conduct and
alleged irregularities of a financial nature by our employees or other stakeholders without any fear of reprisal against the individual that reports the violation or irregularity.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Disclosure Committee assists management in overseeing our disclosure activities and to ensure compliance with applicable disclosure requirements arising under
U.S. and Netherlands law and regulatory requirements. The Disclosure Committee obtains information for its recommendations from the operational and financial reviews, letters of representation which
include a risk and internal control self assessment, input from the documentation and assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting and input from risk management activities during the
year. The Disclosure Committee comprises various members of senior management.

Risk Management and Internal Controls

We have developed a system of policies and procedures for all areas of our operations, both financial and non-financial, that constitutes a broad
system of internal control. This system of internal control has been developed through a risk-based approach and enhanced with a view to achieving and maintaining full compliance with the
requirements of section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act ("SOX"). Our system of internal control is embedded in our standard business practices and is validated through audits performed by our
internal auditors and through management testing of SOX controls, which is performed with the assistance of external advisors. In addition, senior management personnel and

94

finance
managers of our main operating subsidiaries annually sign a detailed letter of representation with regard to financial reporting, internal controls and ethical principles. All of our employees
working in finance or accounting functions are subject to a separate Finance Code of Ethics.

Controls and Procedures Statement Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act

As of December 31, 2007, our management (with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) conducted an evaluation
pursuant to section 302 of the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended of the effectiveness of the design
and operation of the our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of December 31, 2007, such
disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the US Securities Exchange Act on
1934, as amended is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Our Auditors

Our external auditor is responsible for auditing the financial statements and auditing internal control over financial reporting. Following the recommendation by
the Audit Committee and upon proposal by the Board of Directors, the General Meeting of Shareholders appoints each year the auditor to audit the financial statements of the current financial year. The
external auditor reports to our Audit Committee. The external auditor is present at the meetings of the Audit Committee when our quarterly and annual results are discussed.

At
the request of the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee, the Chief Financial Officer and the Internal Audit department review, in advance, each service to be provided by the
auditor to identify any possible breaches of the auditor's independence. The Audit Committee pre-approves every engagement of our external auditor.

Remuneration of Our Board of Directors

The general policy for the remuneration of our Board of Directors will be determined by a general shareholders meeting. The remuneration of directors will be set
by our Board of Directors in accordance with our remuneration policy and the recommendation of the Nomination and Compensation Committee. With regard to arrangements concerning remuneration in the
form of ordinary shares or share options, the Board of Directors must submit a proposal to the shareholders for approval. This proposal must, at a minimum, state the number of ordinary shares or share
options that may be granted to directors and the criteria that apply to the granting of the ordinary shares or share options or the alteration of such arrangements.

General Meetings of Shareholders

At least one general meeting of shareholders must be held every year. The rights of shareholders may only be changed by amending our articles of association. A
resolution to amend our articles of association is valid if the Board of Directors makes a proposal amending the articles of association and such proposal is adopted by a simple majority of votes
cast.

The
following resolutions require a two thirds majority vote if less than half of the issued share capital is present or represented at the general meeting of shareholders:



95

---





If
a proposal to amend the articles of association will be considered at the meeting, we will make available a copy of that proposal, in which the proposed amendments will be stated
verbatim.

An
agreement of the Company to enter into a (i) statutory merger whereby the Company is the acquiring entity, or (ii) a legal demerger, with certain limited exceptions,
must be approved by the shareholders.

Voting Rights

Each ordinary share represents the right to cast one vote at a general meeting of shareholders. All resolutions must be passed with an absolute majority of the
votes validly cast except as set forth above. We are not allowed to exercise voting rights for ordinary shares we hold directly or indirectly.

Any
major change in the identity or character of the Company or its business must be approved by our shareholders, including:



Adoption of Annual Accounts and Discharge of Management Liability

Each year, our Board of Directors must prepare annual accounts within five months after the end of our financial year, unless the shareholders have approved an
extension of this period for up to six additional months due to certain special circumstances recognized as such under the laws of The Netherlands. The annual accounts must be made available for
inspection by shareholders at our offices within the same period. The annual accounts must be accompanied by an auditor's certificate, an annual report and certain other mandatory information. The
shareholders shall appoint an accountant as referred to in Article 393 of Book 2 of The Netherlands Civil Code, to audit the annual accounts. The annual accounts are adopted by our
shareholders.

The
adoption of the annual accounts by our shareholders does not release the members of our Board of Directors from liability for acts reflected in those documents. Any such release from
liability requires a separate shareholders' resolution.

Liquidation Rights

If we are dissolved or wound up, the assets remaining after payment of our liabilities will be first applied to pay back the amounts paid up on the ordinary
shares. Any remaining assets will be distributed among our shareholders, in proportion to the par value of their shareholdings. All distributions referred to in this paragraph shall be made in
accordance with the relevant provisions of the laws of The Netherlands.

Limitations on Non-Residents and Exchange Controls

There are no limits under the laws of The Netherlands or in our articles of association on non-residents of The Netherlands holding or voting our
ordinary shares. Currently, there are no exchange controls under the laws of The Netherlands on the conduct of our operations or affecting the remittance of dividends.

Disclosure of Insider Transactions

Members of our Board of Directors and other insiders within the meaning of Section 47a of The Netherlands Securities Act must report to The Netherlands
Authority for the Financial Markets if they carry out or cause to be carried out, for their own account, a transaction in our ordinary shares or in securities whose value is at least in part
determined by the value of our ordinary shares.

Netherlands Squeeze-out Proceedings

If a person or a company or two or more group companies within the meaning of Article 2:24b of The Netherlands Civil Code acting in concert holds in total
95% of a Netherlands public limited liability company's issued share capital by par value for their own account, the laws of The Netherlands permit that person or company or those group companies
acting in concert to acquire the remaining ordinary
shares in the company by initiating squeeze out proceedings against the holders of the remaining shares. The price to be paid for such shares will be determined by the Enterprise Chamber of the
Amsterdam Court of Appeal.

Choice of Law and Exclusive Jurisdiction

Under our articles of association, to the extent allowed by law, the rights and obligations among or between us, any of our current or former directors, officers
and employees and any current or former shareholder shall be governed exclusively by the laws of The Netherlands, unless such rights or obligations do not relate to or arise out of the capacities
above. Any lawsuit or other legal proceeding by and between those persons relating to or arising out of their capacities listed above shall be exclusively submitted to the courts of The Netherlands.
All of our current and former directors and officers must agree in connection with any such lawsuit or other legal proceeding to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of The Netherlands courts, waive
objections to such lawsuit or other legal proceeding being brought in such courts, agree that a judgment in any such legal action brought in The Netherlands courts is binding upon them and may be
enforced in any other jurisdiction, and elect domicile at our offices in Amsterdam, The Netherlands for the service of any document relating to such lawsuit of other legal proceedings.

Registrar and Transfer Agent

A register of holders of the ordinary shares will be maintained by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company in the United States who will also serve as the
transfer agent. The telephone number of American Stock Transfer & Trust Company is 1-800-937-5449.

Taxation.

Netherlands Tax Considerations

The following is a summary of Netherlands tax consequences of the holding and disposal of ordinary shares. This summary does not purport to describe all possible
tax considerations or consequences that may be relevant to a holder or prospective holder of ordinary shares. Holders should consult with their tax advisors with regards to the tax consequences of
investing in the ordinary shares in their particular circumstances. The discussion below is included for general information purposes only.

Please
note that this summary does not describe the tax considerations for holders of ordinary shares if such holders, and in the case of individuals, his/her partner or certain of their
relatives by blood or marriage in the direct line (including foster children), have a substantial interest or deemed substantial interest in us as defined in The Netherlands Income Tax Act 2001.
Generally speaking, a holder of securities in a company is considered to hold a substantial interest in such company, if such holder alone or, in the case of individuals, together with his/her partner
(statutorily defined term), directly or indirectly, holds (i) an interest of 5% or more of the total issued and outstanding capital of that company or of 5% or more of the issued and
outstanding capital of a certain class of shares of

98

---



that
company; or (ii) holds rights to acquire, directly or indirectly, such interest; or (iii) holds certain profit sharing rights in that company that relate to 5% or more of the
company's annual profits and/or to 5% or more of the company's liquidation proceeds. A deemed substantial interest arises if a substantial interest (or part thereof) in a company has been disposed of,
or is deemed to have been disposed of, on a non-recognition basis. Furthermore, this summary does not describe the tax considerations for holders of ordinary shares if the holder has an
interest in us that qualifies as a "participation" for the purposes of The Netherlands Corporate Income Tax Act 1969. A participation generally exists in case of a shareholding of at least 5% of the
company's paid-up share capital.

Except
as otherwise indicated, this summary only addresses Netherlands national tax legislation and regulations, as in effect on the date hereof and as interpreted in published case law
on the date hereof and is subject to change after such date, including changes that could have retroactive effect.



Dividends distributed by us generally are subject to Netherlands dividend withholding tax at a rate of 15%. The withholding mechanism requires us to deduct from
the dividend an amount of withholding tax to be paid to The Netherlands tax authorities. The withholding tax is therefore effectively carried by the recipient of a dividend and not by us. The
expression "dividends distributed" includes, among others:



If
a holder of ordinary shares is resident in a country other than The Netherlands and if a double taxation convention is in effect between The Netherlands and such other country, such
holder of ordinary shares may, depending on the terms of that double taxation convention, be eligible for a full or partial exemption from, or refund of, Netherlands dividend withholding tax.

A
recipient of a dividend of the shares that is a qualifying company and that satisfies the conditions of the Convention between The Netherlands and the United States for the avoidance
of double taxation of December 18, 1992 (the "Convention"), may be entitled to a reduced rate of dividend withholding tax (a "U.S. Holder"). These conditions include but are not limited to
being a resident of the U.S. for the purposes of the Convention, being the beneficial owner of such dividend and qualifying under article 26 of the Convention (the so-called
"Limitation on Benefits" article).

To
claim a reduced withholding tax rate under the Convention (both reduction and refund procedure), the U.S. Holder that is a company must file a request with The Netherlands tax
authorities for which no specific form is available.

A
recipient that is a qualifying tax-exempt pension, trust or a qualifying tax-exempt organization and that satisfies the conditions of the Convention, may be
entitled to an exemption or a refund of

paid
dividend taxes. Qualifying tax exempt must file form IB 96 USA for the application of relief at source from or refund of dividend withholding tax. Qualifying tax-exempt
pensions, trusts or U.S. organizations are not entitled under the Convention to claim benefits at source, and instead must file claims for refund by filing form IB 95 USA. Copies of the forms
may be obtained from the "Belastingdienst/Limburg/kantoor buitenland, Postbus 2865, 6401 DJ Heerlen, The Netherlands, or may be downloaded from www.belastingdienst.nl.

Individuals
and corporate legal entities who are resident or deemed to be resident in The Netherlands for Netherlands tax purposes ("Netherlands resident individuals" and "Netherlands
resident entities", as the case may be), including individuals who have made an election for the application of the rules of The Netherlands Income Tax Act 2001 as they apply to residents of The
Netherlands, can generally credit Netherlands dividend withholding tax against their income tax or corporate income tax liability. The same generally applies to holders of ordinary shares that are
neither resident nor deemed to be resident of The Netherlands if the ordinary shares are attributable to a Netherlands permanent establishment of such non-resident holder.

In
general, we will be required to remit all amounts withheld as Netherlands dividend withholding tax to The Netherlands tax authorities. However, under certain circumstances, we are
allowed to reduce the amount to be remitted to The Netherlands tax authorities by the lesser of:



Although
this reduction reduces the amount of Netherlands dividend withholding tax that we are required to pay to The Netherlands tax authorities, it does not reduce the amount of tax
that the we are required to withhold from dividends.

Pursuant
to legislation to counteract "dividend stripping", a reduction, exemption, credit or refund of Netherlands dividend withholding tax is denied if the recipient of the dividend is
not the beneficial owner. This legislation generally targets situations in which shareholders retain their economic interest in shares but reduce the withholding tax cost on dividends by a transaction
with another party. For application of these rules it is not a requirement that the recipient of the dividends is aware that a dividend stripping transaction took place. The Netherlands State
Secretary of Finance takes the position that the definition of beneficial ownership introduced by this legislation will also be applied in the context of a double taxation convention.



Non-residents of The Netherlands.A holder of ordinary shares will not be subject to Netherlands taxes on income
or on capital gains in respect of any payment under the ordinary shares or any gain realized on the disposal or deemed disposal of the ordinary shares, provided that:

(i)
such holder is neither a resident nor deemed to be resident in The Netherlands for Netherlands tax purposes and, if such holder is an individual, such holder has not made an election
for the application of the rules of The Netherlands Income Tax Act 2001 as they apply to residents of The Netherlands;

(ii)
such holder does not have an interest in an enterprise or a deemed enterprise which, in whole or in part, is either effectively managed in The Netherlands or is carried out through
a permanent

100

---



establishment,
a deemed permanent establishment (statutorily defined term) or a permanent representative in The Netherlands and to which enterprise or part of an enterprise the ordinary shares are
attributable; and

(iii)
in the event such holder is an individual, such holder does not carry out any activities in The Netherlands with respect to the ordinary shares that exceed ordinary active asset
management (in Dutch, "normaal vermogensbeheer") and does not derive benefits from the ordinary shares that are (otherwise) taxable as benefits from
other activities in The Netherlands (in Dutch, "resultaat uit overige werkzaamheden").

Netherlands resident individuals.If a holder of ordinary shares is a Netherlands resident individual (including the
non-resident individual holder who has made an election for the application of the rules of The Netherlands Income Tax Act 2001 as they apply to residents of The Netherlands), any benefit
derived or deemed to be derived from the ordinary shares is taxable at the progressive income tax rates (with a maximum of 52%), if:



If
the above-mentioned conditions (a) and (b) do not apply to an individual holder of ordinary shares, the ordinary shares are recognized as investment assets and included
as such in such holder's net investment asset base (in Dutch, "rendementsgrondslag"). Such holder will be taxed annually on a deemed income of 4% of the
aggregate amount of his or her net investment assets for the year at an income tax rate of 30%. The aggregate amount of the net investment assets for the year is the average of the fair market value
of the investment assets less the allowable liabilities at the beginning of that year and the fair market value of the investment assets less the allowable liabilities at the end of that year. A tax
free allowance may be available. Actual benefits derived from the ordinary shares are as such not subject to Netherlands income tax.

Netherlands resident entities.Any benefit derived or deemed to be derived from the ordinary shares held by Netherlands
resident entities, including any capital gains realized on the disposal thereof, will generally be subject to Netherlands corporate income tax at a rate of 25.5% (a corporate income tax rate of 20%
applies with respect to taxable profits up to €40,000 and 23% over the following €160,000, the first two brackets for 2008).

A
Netherlands qualifying pension fund and a Netherlands qualifying tax exempt investment fund (in Dutch:"vrijgestelde
beleggingsinstelling") are, in principle, not subject to Netherlands corporate income tax. A qualifying Netherlands resident investment fund (in Dutch,
"fiscale beleggingsinstelling") is subject to Netherlands corporate income tax at a special rate of 0%.



Non-residents of The Netherlands.No Netherlands gift, estate or inheritance taxes will arise on the transfer of
the ordinary shares by way of a gift by, or on the death of, a holder of ordinary shares who is neither resident nor deemed to be resident in The Netherlands, unless:

(i)
such holder at the time of the gift has or at the time of his /her death had an enterprise or an interest in an enterprise that, in whole or in part, is or was either effectively
managed in The Netherlands or carried out through a permanent establishment or a permanent representative in The Netherlands and to which enterprise or part of an enterprise the ordinary shares are or
were attributable; or

101

---





(ii) in the case of a gift of the ordinary shares by an individual who at the date of the gift was neither resident nor deemed to be resident in The Netherlands, such individual dies
within 180 days after the date of the gift, while being resident or deemed to be resident in The Netherlands.

Residents of The Netherlands.Gift, estate and inheritance taxes will arise in The Netherlands with respect to a transfer of
the ordinary shares by way of a gift by, or, on the death of, a holder of ordinary shares who is resident or deemed to be resident in The Netherlands at the time of the gift or his/her death.

For
purposes of Netherlands gift, estate and inheritance taxes, amongst others, a person that holds The Netherlands nationality will be deemed to be resident in The Netherlands if such
person has been resident in The Netherlands at any time during the ten years preceding the date of the gift or the death of this person. Additionally, for purposes of Netherlands gift tax, a person
not holding the Netherlands nationality will be deemed to be resident in The Netherlands if such person has been resident in The Netherlands at any time during the 12 months preceding the date
of the gift. Applicable tax treaties may override deemed residency.



No Netherlands registration tax, customs duty, stamp duty or any other similar documentary tax or duty will be payable by a holder of ordinary shares in
connection with holding the ordinary shares or the disposal of the ordinary shares.

U.S. Tax Considerations

Subject to the limitations and qualifications stated herein, this discussion sets forth the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase,
ownership and disposition of the ordinary shares. The discussion of the holders' tax consequences addresses only those persons that hold those ordinary shares as capital assets and does not address
the tax consequences to any special class of holder,
including without limitation, holders of (directly, indirectly or constructively) 5% or more of the ordinary shares, dealers in securities or currencies, banks, tax-exempt organizations,
life insurance companies, financial institutions, broker-dealers, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, traders in securities that elect the
mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings, persons that hold securities that are a hedge or that are hedged against currency or interest rate risks or
that are part of a straddle, conversion or "integrated" transaction, certain U.S. expatriates, partnerships or other entities classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes and U.S.
Holders whose functional currency for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar. This discussion does not address the effect of the U.S. federal alternative minimum tax or any state,
local or foreign tax laws on a holder of ordinary shares. The discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations
thereunder, published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect and all subject to change at any time, possibly with retroactive effect.

For
purposes of this discussion, a "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of ordinary shares that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes an individual citizen or resident of the U.S.; a
U.S. corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof; a trust if the trust (i) is
subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and one or more U.S. persons are able to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) has elected to be treated as a U.S. person; or
an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source. A "non-U.S. Holder" is a beneficial owner of our ordinary shares that is not a U.S. Holder.

102

A U.S. Holder of ordinary shares generally will be required to treat distributions received with respect to such ordinary shares (including any amounts withheld
pursuant to Netherlands tax law) as dividend income to the extent of AerCap's current or accumulated earnings and profits (computed using U.S. federal income tax principles), with the excess treated
as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the holder's adjusted tax basis in the ordinary shares and, thereafter, as capital gain, subject to the passive foreign investment
company ("PFIC") rules discussed below. Dividends paid to a U.S. Holder that is a corporation are not eligible for the dividends received deduction available to corporations. Current tax law provides
for a maximum 15% U.S. tax rate on the dividend income of an individual U.S. Holder with respect to dividends paid by a domestic corporation or "qualified foreign corporation" if certain holding
period requirements are met. A qualified foreign corporation generally includes a foreign corporation (other than a PFIC) if (i) its ordinary shares are readily tradable on an established
securities market in the United States or (ii) it is eligible for benefits under a comprehensive U.S. income tax treaty. The ordinary shares are expected to be readily traded on the New York
Stock Exchange. As a result, assuming we are not treated as a PFIC, we should be treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends paid on our ordinary shares and, therefore,
dividends paid
to an individual U.S. Holder with respect to ordinary shares for which the requisite holding period is satisfied should be taxed at a maximum federal tax rate of 15%. The maximum 15% federal tax rate
is scheduled to expire for taxable years commencing after December 31, 2010.

Distributions
to U.S. Holders of additional ordinary shares or preemptive rights with respect to ordinary shares that are made as part of a pro rata distribution to all of our
shareholders generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, but in other circumstances may constitute a taxable dividend.

Distributions
paid in a currency other than U.S. dollars will be included in a U.S. Holder's gross income in a U.S. dollar amount based on the spot exchange rate in effect on the date of
actual or constructive receipt whether or not the payment is converted into U.S. dollars at that time. The U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in such currency equal to such U.S. dollar amount, and any
gain or loss recognized upon a subsequent sale or conversion of the foreign currency for a different U.S. dollar amount will be U.S. source ordinary income or loss. If the dividend is converted into
U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder generally should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income.

Subject
to applicable limitations that may vary depending upon the circumstances, foreign taxes withheld from dividends on ordinary shares, to the extent the taxes do not exceed those
taxes that would have been withheld had the holder been eligible for and actually claimed the benefits of any reduction in such taxes under applicable law or tax treaty, will be creditable against the
U.S. Holder's federal income tax liability. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. The rules governing foreign tax
credits are complex and, therefore, prospective purchasers of ordinary shares should consult their own tax advisor regarding the availability of foreign tax credits in their particular circumstances.
Instead of claiming a credit, a U.S. Holder may, at his election, deduct such otherwise creditable foreign taxes in computing his taxable income, subject to generally applicable limitations under U.S.
law.

A
non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on dividends paid with respect to ordinary shares unless such income is effectively
connected with the conduct by the non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business within the United States.



A U.S. Holder generally will recognize gain or loss on the taxable sale or exchange of the ordinary shares in an amount equal to the difference between the U.S.
dollar amount realized on such sale or exchange (determined in the case of shares sold or exchanged for currencies other than U.S. dollars by

103

---



reference
to the spot exchange rate in effect on the date of the sale or exchange or, if the ordinary shares sold or exchanged are traded on an established securities market and the U.S. Holder is a
cash basis taxpayer or an electing accrual basis taxpayer, the spot exchange rate in effect on the settlement date) and the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the ordinary shares determined in U.S.
dollars. The initial tax basis of the ordinary shares to a U.S. Holder will be the U.S. Holder's U.S. dollar purchase price for the shares (determined by reference to the spot exchange rate in effect
on the date of the purchase, or if the shares purchased are traded on an established securities market and the U.S. Holder is a cash basis taxpayer or an electing accrual basis taxpayer, the spot
exchange rate in effect on the settlement date). Assuming that the Company is not a PFIC and has not been treated as a PFIC during your holding period for our ordinary shares, such gain or loss will
be capital gain or loss and will be long-term gain or loss if the ordinary shares have been held for more than one year. With respect to sales occurring in taxable years commencing before
January 1, 2011, the maximum long-term capital gain tax rate for an individual U.S. Holder is 15%. For sales beginning in taxable years after December 31, 2010, under current
law the long-term capital gain rate for an individual U.S. Holder is 20%. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Capital gain or loss, if any, recognized by a U.S.
Holder generally will be treated as U.S. source income or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.

A
non-U.S. Holder of ordinary shares will not be subject to United States income or withholding tax on gain from the sale or other disposition of ordinary shares unless
(i) such gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States or (ii) the non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the
United States for at least 183 days during the taxable year of the disposition and certain other conditions are met.



We do not expect to be classified as a PFIC for the current year. In general, a non-U.S. corporation will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal
income tax purposes in any taxable year in which, after applying certain look-through rules, either (1) at least 75% of its gross income is "passive income" or (2) at least
50% of the average value of its gross assets is attributable to assets that produce "passive income" or are held for the production of "passive income". Passive income for this purpose generally
includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents and gains from
commodities, foreign currency and securities transactions. Certain exceptions are provided, however, for rental income derived in the active conduct of a business.

Our
belief that we will not be classified as a PFIC for the current taxable year is based on (i) our financial statements and (ii) our current plans, expectations and
projections regarding the use of the net proceeds of the offering, the value and nature of our assets and the sources and nature of our income. However, the determination as to whether a foreign
corporation is a PFIC is a complex determination that is based on all of the relevant facts and circumstances and that depends on the classification of various assets and income under the rules that
apply in determining whether a foreign corporation is a PFIC. It is unclear how some of these rules apply to us. Further, this determination must be tested annually at the end of the taxable year and,
while we intend to conduct our affairs in a manner that will reduce the likelihood of our becoming a PFIC, our circumstances may change or our business plan may result in our engaging in activities
that could cause us to become a PFIC. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will not be classified as a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year.

If
we are or become a PFIC in a taxable year in which we pay a dividend or the prior taxable year, the 15% dividend rate discussed above with respect to dividends paid to
non-corporate holders would not apply. If we are a PFIC, subject to the discussion of the qualified electing fund election below, a U.S. Holder of ordinary shares will be subject to
additional tax and an interest charge on "excess distributions" received with respect to the ordinary shares or gains realized on the disposition of such

104

---



ordinary
shares. Such a U.S. Holder will have an excess distribution if distributions during any tax year exceed 125% of the average amount received during the three preceding tax years (or, if
shorter, the U.S. Holder's holding period). A U.S. Holder may realize gain on an ordinary share not only through a sale or other disposition, but also by pledging the ordinary share as security for a
loan or entering into certain constructive disposition transactions. To compute the tax on an excess distribution or any gain, (i) the excess distribution or gain is allocated ratably over the
U.S. Holder's holding period, (ii) the amount allocated to the current tax year and amounts allocated to any year before the first year in which we are a PFIC is taxed as ordinary income in the
current tax year, and (iii) the amount allocated to each previous tax year (other than the any year before the first year in which we are a PFIC) is taxed at the highest applicable marginal
rate in effect for that year and an interest charge is imposed to recover the deemed benefit from the deferred payment of the tax. These rules effectively prevent a U.S. Holder from treating the gain
realized on the disposition of an ordinary share as capital gain.

If
we are a PFIC and our ordinary shares are "regularly traded" on a "qualified exchange," a U.S. Holder may make a mark-to-market election, which may mitigate
the adverse tax consequences resulting from the Company's PFIC status. The ordinary shares will be treated as "regularly traded" in any calendar year during which more than a de minimisquantity of
ordinary shares are traded on a qualified exchange on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter. The New York Stock
Exchange on which the ordinary shares are expected to be regularly traded is a qualified exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If
a U.S. Holder makes the mark-to-market election, for each year in which we are a PFIC the holder generally will include as ordinary income the excess, if any,
of the fair market value of the ordinary shares at the end of the taxable year over their adjusted basis, and will be permitted an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis
of the ordinary shares over their fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the
mark-to-market election). If a U.S. Holder makes the election, his basis in the ordinary shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. Any gain recognized
on the sale or other disposition of ordinary shares, for which the mark-to-market election has been made, will generally be treated as ordinary income.

Alternatively,
if we become a PFIC in any year, a U.S. Holder of ordinary shares may wish to avoid the adverse tax consequences resulting from our PFIC status by making a qualified
electing fund ("QEF") election with respect to our ordinary shares in such year. If a U.S. Holder makes a QEF election, the holder will be required to include in gross income each year (i) as
ordinary income, its pro rata share of our earnings and profits in excess of net capital gains and (ii) as long-term capital gains, its pro rata share of our net
long-term capital gains, in each case, whether or not cash distributions are actually made. The amounts recognized by a U.S. Holder making a QEF election generally are treated as income
from sources outside the U.S. If, however, U.S. Holders hold at least half of the ordinary shares, a percentage of our income equal to the proportion of our income that we receive from U.S. sources
will be U.S. source income for the U.S. Holders of ordinary shares. Because a U.S. Holder of shares in a PFIC that makes a QEF election is taxed currently on its pro rata share of our income, the
amounts recognized will not be subject to tax when they are distributed to the U.S. Holder. An electing U.S. Holder's basis in the ordinary shares will be increased by any amounts included in income
currently as described above and decreased by any amounts not subjected to tax at the time of distribution. If we are or become a PFIC, a U.S. Holder would make a QEF election in respect of its
ordinary shares by attaching a properly completed IRS Form 8621 in respect of such shares to the holder's timely filed U.S. federal income tax return. For any taxable year that we determine
that we are a PFIC, we will (i) provide notice of our status as a PFIC as soon as practicable following such taxable year and (ii) comply with all reporting requirements necessary for
U.S. Holders to make QEF elections, including providing to shareholders upon request the information necessary for such an election.

105

---



Although
a U.S. Holder normally is not permitted to make a retroactive QEF election, a retroactive election (a "retroactive QEF election") may be made for a taxable year of the U.S.
Holder (the "retroactive election year") if the U.S. Holder (i) reasonably believed that, as of the date the QEF election was due, the foreign corporation was not a PFIC for its taxable year
that ended during the retroactive election year and (ii) to the extent provided for in applicable Treasury Regulations, filed a protective statement with respect to the foreign corporation,
applicable to the retroactive election year, in which the U.S. Holder described the basis for its reasonable belief and extended the period of limitation on the assessment of taxes for all taxable
years of the shareholder to which the protective statement applies. If required to be filed to preserve the U.S. Holder's ability to make a retroactive QEF election, the protective statement must be
filed by the due date of the investor's return (including
extensions) for the first taxable year to which the statement is to apply. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding the advisability of filing a protective statement.

As
discussed above, if we are a PFIC, a U.S. Holder of ordinary shares that makes a QEF election (including a proper retroactive QEF election) will be required to include in income
currently its pro rata share of our earnings and profits whether or not we actually distribute earnings. The use of earnings to fund reserves or pay down debt or to fund other investments could result
in a U.S. Holder of ordinary shares recognizing income in excess of amounts it actually receives. In addition, our income from an investment for U.S federal income tax purposes may exceed the amount
we actually receive. If we are a PFIC and a U.S. Holder makes a valid QEF election in respect of their ordinary shares, such holder may be able to elect to defer payment, subject to an interest charge
for the deferral period, of the tax on income recognized on account of the QEF election. Prospective purchasers of ordinary shares should consult their tax advisors about the advisability of making a
QEF election, protective QEF election and deferred payment election.

Miscellaneous
itemized deductions of an individual U.S. person can only be deducted to the extent that all of such person's miscellaneous itemized deductions exceed 2% of their adjusted
gross income. In addition, an individual's miscellaneous itemized deductions are not deductible for purposes of computing the alternative minimum tax. Certain expenses of the Company might be a
miscellaneous itemized deduction if incurred by an individual. A U.S. person that owns an interest in a "pass-through entity" is treated as recognizing income in an amount corresponding to
its share of any item of expense that would be a miscellaneous itemized deduction and as separately deducting that item subject to the limitations described above. If it is determined that we are a
PFIC, the IRS could take the position that we are a "pass-through entity" with respect to a U.S. Holder of ordinary shares that makes a QEF election.

Special
rules apply to determine the foreign tax credit with respect to withholding taxes imposed on distributions on shares in a PFIC. If a U.S. Holder owns ordinary shares during any
year in which we are a PFIC, such Holder must file Internal Revenue Service Form 8621.

We
urge prospective purchasers of ordinary shares to consult their tax advisers concerning the tax considerations relevant to an investment in a PFIC, including the availability and
consequences of making the mark-to-market election and QEF election discussed above.



Information reporting to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service generally will be required with respect to payments on the ordinary shares and proceeds of the sale of
the ordinary shares paid to holders that are U.S. taxpayers, other than corporations and other exempt recipients. A 28% "backup" withholding tax may apply to those payments if such a holder fails to
provide a taxpayer identification number to the paying agent and to certify that no loss of exemption from backup withholding has occurred. Holders that are not subject to U.S. taxation may be
required to comply with applicable certification procedures to establish that they are not U.S. taxpayers in order to avoid the application of such

106

---



information
reporting requirements and backup withholding. The amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not an additional tax and may be refunded, or credited against the holder's U.S.
federal income tax liability, if any, provided the required information is furnished to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

THE
ABOVE DISCUSSION IS A GENERAL SUMMARY. IT DOES NOT COVER ALL TAX MATTERS THAT MAY BE OF IMPORTANCE TO A PARTICULAR INVESTOR. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR IS STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT
ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR ABOUT THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO IT OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE ORDINARY SHARES.

Dividends.

Dividends may in principle only be paid out of profit as shown in the adopted annual accounts. We will only have power to make distributions to shareholders and
other persons entitled to distributable profits to the extent our equity exceeds the sum of the paid and called up portion of the ordinary share capital and the reserves that must be maintained in
accordance with provisions of the laws of The Netherlands or our articles of association. The profits must first be used to set up and maintain reserves required by law and must then be set off
against certain financial losses. We may not make any distribution of profits on ordinary shares that we hold. Our Board of Directors determines whether and how much of the remaining profit they will
reserve, the manner and date of such distribution and notifies shareholders.

All
calculations to determine the amounts available for dividends will be based on our annual Netherlands GAAP statutory accounts, which may be different from our consolidated financial
statements under US GAAP, such as those included in this form 20-F. Our statutory accounts have to date been prepared, and will continue to be prepared, under Netherlands
GAAP and are deposited with the Commercial Register in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Our net income for the
12 months ended December 31, 2007 and our equity as of December 31, 2007 as set forth in our annual statutory accounts were $228.4 million and $988.1million, respectively.
We are dependent on dividends or other advances from our operating subsidiaries to fund any dividends we may pay on our ordinary shares.

Item 11.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk associated with short and long-term borrowings bearing variable interest rates and lease
payments under leases tied to floating interest rates. To manage this interest rate exposure, we enter into interest rate swap and cap agreements. We are also exposed to foreign currency risk, which
can adversely affect our operating profits. To manage this risk, we enter into forward exchange contracts.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Notes 1, 2 and 11 to our audited consolidated financial statements contained in this annual report, which provide
further information on our derivative instruments contained in this annual report.

Interest Rate Risk

The rentals we receive under our leases are based on fixed and variable interest rates. We fund our operations with a mixture of fixed and floating rate US dollar
denominated debt and finance lease obligations. An interest rate exposure arises to the extent that the mix of these obligations are not matched with our assets. This exposure is primarily managed
through the use of interest rate caps and interest rate swaps using a cash flow based risk management model. This model takes the expected cash flows generated by our assets and liabilities and then
calculates by how much the value of these cash flows will change for a given movement in interest rates. Our policy is to seek to ensure that the net worth of our business will not be exposed to more
than a $15 million movement from a 1% parallel shift in US dollar interest rates across the yield curve.

Under
our interest rate swaps, we pay fixed amounts and receive floating amounts on a monthly basis. The swaps amortize based on a number of factors, including the expiration dates of
the leases under which our lessees are contracted to make fixed rate rental payments and the three- or six-month LIBOR reset dates under our floating rate leases. Under our interest rate caps, we will
receive the excess, if any, of LIBOR, reset monthly or quarterly on an actual/360 adjusted basis, over the strike rate of the relevant cap.

The
table below provides information as of December 31, 2007 regarding our derivative financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates on our borrowing,
including our interest rate caps and swaps. The table presents the average notional amounts and weighted average interest rates which are contracted for the specified year. Notional amounts are used
to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged under the contract. Weighted average variable rates are based on implied forward rates in the yield curve at the applicable date.

As of December 31, 2007, the interest rate swaps and caps had notional amounts of $2.4 billion and a fair value of
$21.5 million. The variable benchmark interest rates associated with these instruments ranged from one to sixmonth LIBOR. The swap above is with our AeroTurbine operation.

Our
Board of Directors is responsible for reviewing and approving our overall interest rate management policies and transaction authority limits. Specific hedging contracts are approved
by the treasury committee acting within the overall policies and limits. Our counterparty risk is monitored on an ongoing basis, but is mitigated by the fact that all of our interest rate derivatives,
except Aircraft Lease Securitisation's derivatives, require two-way cash collateralization. Our counterparties are subject to the prior approval of the treasury committee.

Foreign Currency Risk and Foreign Operations

Our functional currency is the US dollar. As of December 31, 2007, all of our aircraft leases and all of our engine leases were payable in US dollars. We
incur Euro-denominated expenses in connection with our offices in The Netherlands and Ireland. For the year ended December 31, 2007, our aggregate expenses denominated in currencies
other than the US dollar, such as payroll and office costs and professional advisory costs, were $56.6 million in US dollar equivalents and represented 48.7% of total selling, general and
administrative expenses. We enter into foreign exchange contracts based on our projected exposure to foreign currency risks in order to protect ourselves from the effect of period over period exchange
rate fluctuations. Mark-to-market gains or losses on such contracts are recorded as part of selling, general and administrative expenses since most of our non-US
denominated payments relate to such expenses. We do not believe that a change in foreign exchange rates will have material impact on our results of operations. However, the portion of our business
conducted in foreign currencies could increase in the future, which could increase our exposure to losses arising from currency fluctuations.

Inflation

Inflation generally affects our costs, including selling, general and administrative expenses and other expenses. However, we do not believe that our financial
results have been, or will be, adversely affected by inflation in a material way.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in this report is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis. Our management, with the participation of the chairman of our board of directors and the members of our Disclosure committee, has evaluated, as of
December 31, 2007, our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2007, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective
to achieve their intended objectives.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act
Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of

financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or because the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, we conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2007. The assessment was based on criteria established in the framework Internal ControlIntegrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007.

PricewaterhouseCoopers
Accountants N.V., the independent registered public accounting firm that audited our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this
Form 20-F, audited the effectiveness of our controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 under Auditing Standard No. 5 of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Their audit report may be found on page F-2.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Throughout the course of 2007, we have implemented several enhancements to our system of internal control as described below:



We
believe that these measures along with other measures already implemented have led to an improvement in our systems of internal control over financial reporting.

Item 16A.    Audit committee financial expert.

Our board of directors has determined that Ronald Bolger is an "audit committee financial expert" as that term is defined by SEC rules, and that he is
"independent" as that term is defined under applicable New York Stock Exchange listing standards.

Item 16B.    Code of Conduct.

Our board of directors has adopted our code of conduct, a code that applies to members of the board of directors including its chairman and other senior officers,
including the Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Accounting Officer. This code is publicly available on our website at www.aercap.com.

Item 16C.    Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

In January 2003, the SEC adopted rules requiring disclosure of fees billed by a public company's independent auditors in each of the company's two most recent
fiscal years. Our auditors charged the following fees for professional services rendered for the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007:

Audit Feesare defined as the standard audit work that needs to be performed each year in order to issue opinions on our consolidated
financial statements and to issue reports on our local statutory
financial statements. Also included are services that can only be provided by our auditor, such as auditing of nonrecurring transactions and implementation of new accounting policies, reviews of
quarterly financial results, consents and comfort letters and any other audit services required for US Securities and Exchange Commission or other regulatory filings.

Audit-Related Feesinclude those other assurance services provided by the independent auditor but not restricted to those that can only be
provided by the auditor signing the audit report. These fees comprise amounts for services for Sarbanes-Oxley 404 controls design effectiveness review.

During
the 12-month periods ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007, our auditors were not engaged to perform any services that are defined as tax fees or
for any other type of services.

Policy on Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditors

The Audit Committee's policy is to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by our auditor. These services may include audit
services, audit-related services, tax services and other services, as described above. Pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or categories of services, and is subject to a
specific budget. Our management and our auditor report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided in accordance with this pre-approval and the fees for the services
performed to date on an annual basis. The Audit Committee may also pre-approve additional services on a case-by-case basis.

REPORTS OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To
the Board of Directors and Shareholders of AerCap Holdings N.V.

In
our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of AerCap Holdings N.V. and its subsidiaries ("the Company") as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of their operations and cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and for the period from June 27, 2005 to December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. Also in our opinion, the accompanying financial statement Schedule I presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in
conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2007, based on criteria established inInternal ControlIntegrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in "Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting" on page 109. Our
responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits (which was an integrated audit in 2007). We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits
of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, and evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the
risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A
company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

AerCap Holdings N.V. and Subsidiaries        Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements        (US dollars in thousands)

1. General

The Company

We are an integrated global aviation company, conducting aircraft and engine leasing and trading and parts sales. We also provide a wide range of aircraft
management services to other owners of aircraft. We are headquartered in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, with principal offices in Shannon, Ireland, Ft. Lauderdale and Miami, Florida and Goodyear,
Arizona.

These
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AerCap Holdings N.V. and its subsidiaries. AerCap Holdings N.V. is a Netherlands public limited liability
company ("naamloze vennootschap") formed on July 10, 2006 for the purpose of acquiring all of the assets and liabilities of AerCap Holdings C.V.
AerCap Holdings C.V. is a limited partnership ("commanditaire vennootschap") formed under the laws of The Netherlands on June 27, 2005 for the
purposes of acquiring the share capital, subordinated debt and senior debt of debis AirFinance B.V. ("AerCap B.V."), which occurred on June 30, 2005 (the "2005 Acquisition"). In
anticipation of our initial public offering, we changed our corporate structure from a Netherlands partnership to a Netherlands public limited liability company. This change was effected through the
acquisition of all of the assets and liabilities of AerCap Holdings C.V. by AerCap Holdings N.V. on October 27, 2006. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") 141,"Business Combinations", this acquisition was a transaction under common control and accordingly, AerCap Holdings N.V. recognized
the acquisition of the assets and liabilities of AerCap Holdings C.V. at their carrying values and no goodwill or other intangible assets were recognized. Additionally in accordance with
SFAS 141, these consolidated financial statements are presented as if AerCap Holdings N.V. had been the acquiring entity of AerCap B.V. on June 30, 2005. On
November 27, 2006, we completed an initial public offering of 6,800,000 of our common shares at $23 per share (Note 17) generating net proceeds of $143,017 which we used to repay debt.

Acquisition of AeroTurbine, Inc.

On April 26, 2006 we purchased all of the existing share capital of AeroTurbine, Inc ("AT" and the "AT Acquisition"). AT has been included in our
consolidated financial statements from April 26, 2006. AT is engaged primarily in the distribution of turbojet aircraft, aircraft engines, and aircraft parts as well as the sale, lease and
overhaul management of engines to the commercial aviation industry worldwide. AT is headquartered in Miami, Florida and has a location in Goodyear, Arizona. We acquired AT in order to diversify our
investments in aviation assets and to give us a more significant presence in the market for older equipment.

Variable interest entities

In January 2006, we sold a 50% equity interest in AerVenture Ltd. ("AerVenture"), previously a wholly-owned entity, to LoadAir, a subsidiary of Al Fawares,
an investment and construction company based in Kuwait. AerVenture has contracted with Airbus for the delivery of up to 70 A320 family aircraft between November 2007 and August 2011, with the intent
of leasing these aircraft to third parties. The joint venture agreement requires us to make certain specified equity contributions and additional equity capital available to AerVenture depending on
capital needs in the future. Other than with respect to such equity contributions, we are not obligated to support the activities of AerVenture and creditors of AerVenture have no recourse to us. We
have entered into agreements to provide management and marketing services to AerVenture in return for management fees. We have

determined
that AerVenture is a variable interest entity for which we are the primary beneficiary. As such, we have continued to consolidate AerVenture in our accounts.

In
April 2006, we signed a joint venture agreement with Deucalion to form the Bella joint venture in which we hold a 50% equity interest. Bella was formed to purchase two used Airbus
A330-322 aircraft for leasing. These aircraft were purchased in April and May 2006 and have subsequently been leased to third parties. We have entered into agreements to provide to Bella
aircraft management and marketing services in return for management fees. We have determined that Bella is a variable interest entity for which we are the primary beneficiary. As such, we have
consolidated Bella in our accounts. The obligations of Bella are non-recourse to us.

As
further discussed in Note 14, we hold equity and subordinated debt investments in ALS and AerFunding. ALS and AerFunding are variable interest entities and we, as their primary
beneficiaries under FIN 46(R), consolidate the accounts of ALS and AerFunding in our accounts since their inception dates.

In
May 2006, we signed a joint venture agreement with China Aviation Supplies Import and Export Group Corporation and affiliates of Calyon establishing AerDragon. AerDragon is 50% owned
by China Aviation and 25% owned by each of us and Calyon. The joint venture owned two aircraft at December 31, 2007, one of which it purchased from Airbus through an assignment of our purchase
right under our 1999 Forward Order and one which it purchased directly from us. We act as guarantor to the lenders of AerDragon related to debt secured by the aircraft which AerDragon purchased
directly from us. We provide aircraft management services to AerDragon in return for fees. As of December 31, 2007, we have determined that AerDragon is a variable interest entity. AerCap
further determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of AerDragon and accordingly, we account for our investment in AerDragon according to the equity method. With the exception of debt for which
we act as guarantor, the obligations of AerDragon are non-recourse to us. At December 31, 2007, our maximum exposure to losses incurred by AerDragon consists of the carrying amount
of our equity investment and the face value of the debt guaranteed, totaling $39.8 million.

Risks and uncertainties

We are dependent upon the viability of the commercial aviation industry, which determines our ability to service existing and future operating leases of our
aircraft and engines and our ability to sell aircraft and engines parts. The global airline industry has experienced passenger growth in the last three years, which has led to increased demand for new
aircraft and a strengthening of lease rates in most aircraft categories. The continued growth of the global aviation industry is dependent on several factors, most notably sustained global GDP growth
and price stability in the oil markets. Substantial increases in jet kerosene prices in recent years has caused a depression in airline earnings and in some cases liquidity shortages. The impact of
continued or rising oil prices as well as overcapacity and high levels of competition in some geographical markets may create occasional unscheduled lease returns and possible supply surpluses, which
may create pressure on rentals and aircraft and engine values. The value of the largest asset on our balance sheetflight equipment held for operating leasesis subject to
fluctuations in the values of commercial aircraft and engines worldwide. A material decrease in aircraft or engine values could have a downward effect on lease rentals and residual values and may
require that the carrying value of our flight equipment be materially reduced. In addition, if we are not

able
to sell our existing parts and engine inventory, we may be required to reduce the carrying value of such inventory through impairment charges.

The
values of trade receivables, notes receivable, intangible lease premium assets and the accrual for onerous contracts are dependent upon the financial viability of related lessees,
which is directly tied to the health of the commercial aviation market worldwide.

We
have significant tax losses carried forward in some of our subsidiaries, which are recognized as tax assets on our balance sheets. The recoverability of these assets is dependent upon
the ability of the
related entities to generate a certain level of taxable income in the future. If those entities cannot generate such taxable income, we will not realize the value of those tax assets and a
corresponding valuation allowance and tax charge will be required.

We
expect to fund a significant portion of our forward order delivery obligations (Note 7) through borrowings secured by the related aircraft. The unavailability to us of such
secured borrowings at the time of delivery could have a material impact on our ability to meet our obligations under the forward order contract. If we cannot meet our obligations under such contracts,
we will not recover the value of prepayments on flight equipment on our balance sheets and may be subject to other contract breach damages.

We
periodically perform reviews of the carrying values of our aircraft and customer receivables, the recoverable value of deferred tax assets and the sufficiency of accruals and
provisions, substantially all of which are sensitive to the above risks and uncertainties.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis for presentation

Our financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We
consolidate all companies in which we have a direct and indirect legal or effective control and all variable interest entities for which we are deemed the primary beneficiary under
FIN 46R. All intercompany balances and transactions with consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. The results of consolidated entities are included from the effective date of control or,
in the case of variable interest entities, from the date that we are or become the primary beneficiary. The results of subsidiaries sold or otherwise deconsolidated are excluded from the date that we
cease to control the subsidiary or, in the case of variable interest entities, when we cease to be the primary beneficiary.

Other
investments in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence and joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

The
consolidated financial statements are stated in United States dollars, which is our functional currency.

The
assets and liabilities of AerCap B.V. are stated at their fair values at the acquisition date of June 30, 2005. The consolidated financial statements of the predecessor
reflect historical cost. The consolidated financial statements show both the predecessor accounts and successor accounts. Due to these different bases of accounting, predecessor and successor amounts
are not directly comparable.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. For us, the use of estimates is or could be a significant factor affecting the reported
carrying values of flight equipment, inventory, goodwill, investments, trade and notes receivable, deferred tax assets and accruals and reserves. Management utilize professional appraisers and
valuation experts, where possible, to support estimates, particularly with respect to flight equipment. Despite management's best efforts to accurately estimate such amounts, actual results could
materially differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

Restricted cash

Restricted cash includes cash held by banks that is subject to withdrawal restrictions.

Trade receivables

Trade receivables represent unpaid, current lease obligations of lessees under existing lease contracts. Allowances are made for doubtful accounts where it is
considered that there is a significant risk of non-recovery. The assessment of risk of non-recovery is primarily based on the extent to which amounts outstanding exceed the
value of security held, together with an assessment of the financial strength and condition of a debtor and the economic conditions persisting in the debtor's operating environment.

Flight equipment held for operating leases, net

Flight equipment held for operating leases, including aircraft, is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Costs incurred in the acquisition
of aircraft or related leases are included in the cost of the flight equipment and depreciated over the useful life of the equipment. In instances where the purchase price includes additional
consideration which can be allocated to the value of an acquired lease containing above market terms, such allocated cost is amortized over the term of the related lease. The cost of improvements to
flight equipment are normally expensed unless the improvement materially increases the long-term value of the flight equipment or extends the useful life of the flight equipment. In
instances where the increased value benefits the existing lease, such capitalized cost is depreciated over the life of the lease. Otherwise, the capitalized cost is depreciated over the remaining
useful life of the aircraft. Flight equipment acquired is depreciated over the assets' useful life, based on 25 years from the date of manufacture, using the straight-line method to
the estimated residual value. The current estimates for residual (salvage) values for most aircraft types are 15% of original manufacture cost.

The
estimates of useful lives are as follows:

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

For
older engines purchased primarily for short-term leasing through our AeroTurbine operations, we depreciate current production model engines on a straight-line
basis over a 15-year period from the acquisition date to an estimated residual value. Out-of-production engines are depreciated on a straight-line basis
over an estimated useful life ranging from five to seven years to an estimated residual value. For newer engines purchased primarily for longer-term leases, we depreciate over a
30-year period to a residual of 15% of cost. The carrying value of flight equipment that is designated for part-out is transferred to the inventory pool. We discontinue the
depreciation of our flight equipment when it is held as inventory. Differences between our estimates of useful lives and residual values and actual experience may result in future impairments of
aircraft or engines and/or additional gains or losses upon disposal. We review residual values of aircraft and engines periodically based on our knowledge of current residual values and residual value
trends to determine if they are appropriate and record adjustments as necessary.

We
apply SFAS 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which addresses financial accounting
and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of and requires that all long-lived assets be evaluated for
impairment where circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such assets may not be recoverable. The review for recoverability includes an assessment of the estimated future cash flows
associated with the use of an asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the
asset, an impairment loss is recognized. The loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the impaired asset over its fair value.

Fair
value reflects the present value of cash expected to be received from the aircraft in the future, including its expected residual value discounted at a rate commensurate with the
associated risk. Future cash flows are assumed to occur under then current market conditions and assume adequate time for a sale between a willing buyer and a willing seller. Expected future lease
rates are based on all relevant information available, including current contracted rates for similar aircraft, appraisal data and industry trends. Residual (salvage) value assumptions generally
reflect an aircraft's booked residual, except where more recent industry information indicates a different value is appropriate.

Flight equipment held for sale

We classify flight equipment which is subject to an executed sale agreement or an exercised purchase option as flight equipment held for sale and cease
recognizing depreciation expense on such flight equipment at the time the sale contract is signed. We carry equipment held for sale at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
Subsequent changes to the asset's fair value, either increases or decreases, are recorded as adjustments to the carrying value of the flight equipment; however, any such adjustment would not exceed
the original carrying value of the flight equipment held for sale.



Notes receivable arise primarily from (i) the restructuring and deferring of trade receivables from lessees experiencing financial difficulties and
(ii) the sale of aircraft to lessees where we finance a portion of the aircraft purchase price through an interest bearing note secured by a security interest in the aircraft sold. Allowances
are made for doubtful accounts where there is a significant risk of

non-recovery
of the note receivable. The assessment of the risk of non-recovery is primarily based on the extent to which amounts outstanding exceed the value of security held,
together with an assessment of the financial strength and condition of a debtor and the economic conditions persisting in the debtor's operating environment.

Capitalization of interest

We capitalize interest related to progress payments made in respect of flight equipment on forward order and add such amount to prepayments on flight equipment.
The amount of interest capitalized is the actual interest costs incurred on funding specific to the progress payments or the amount of interest costs which could have been avoided in the absence of
such progress payments.

Investments

We may hold debt and equity interests in third parties, including interests in asset securitization vehicles. In instances where those interests are in the form
of debt securities or equity securities that have readily determinable fair values, we apply the provisions of SFAS 115,Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securitiesand designate each security as either held to maturity or available for sale securities.

We
report equity investments where the fair value is not readily determinable at cost, reduced for any other than temporary impairment.

We
evaluate our investments in all debt and equity instruments regularly for other than temporary impairments in their carrying value and record a write-down to estimated
fair market value as appropriate.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition of subsidiaries over the fair value of identifiable net assets at the dates of acquisition. Goodwill is
not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually or more often when events or circumstances indicate that there may have been impairment.

Definite-lived intangible assets

We recognize intangible assets acquired in a business combination in accordance with the principles of SFAS 141. The identified intangible assets are
recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition. The rate of amortization of definite-lived intangible assets is calculated with reference to the period over which we expect to derive economic
benefits from such assets. In instances where the purchase of flight equipment or the allocated fair value in a business combination includes consideration which can be allocated to the value of an
acquired lease containing above market terms, such allocated costs is recognized as an intangible lease premium asset and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related
lease as a reduction of lease revenue. Similarly, we recognize a lease deficiency liability as part of accrued expenses and other liabilities for lease contracts where the terms of the lease contract
are unfavorable to market terms and amortize the liability over the term of the related lease as an addition to lease revenue. We consider lease renewals on a lease by lease basis. We generally do not
assume lease renewals in the determination of the lease premiums or deficiencies
given a market participant would expect the lessee to renegotiate the lease on then market terms. We evaluate all definite-lived intangible assets for impairment in accordance with SFAS 144.

Inventory

Inventory, which consists primarily of finished goods, is valued at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is primarily determined using the specific
identification method for individual part purchases and whole engines and on an allocated basis for dismantled engines, aircraft, and bulk inventory purchases using the relationship of the cost of the
dismantled engine, aircraft or bulk inventory purchase to estimated market value at the time of purchase. We estimate market value for this purpose based on internal estimates of sales values and
recent sales activity of similar inventory. We charge the cost of sold inventory to cost of goods sold based on the ratio of remaining cost to the market value such inventory. We evaluate this ratio
periodically and make prospective adjustments in connection with updated market values. Any inventory identified with a market value lower than cost is reduced to market value at the time of the
review.

Inventories
are comprised primarily of engines, aircraft and engine parts, rotables and expendables. Expenditures required for the recertification or betterment of flight equipment are
capitalized in inventory and are expensed as the parts associated with such costs are sold. Inventory acquired in the purchase of a subsidiary is accounted for in accordance with SFAS 141 at
estimated selling prices less the sum of (a) costs of disposal and (b) a reasonable profit allowance for the selling effort of the acquiring entity.

Derivative financial instruments

We use derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to interest rate risks and foreign currency risks. Derivatives are accounted for in accordance with
SFAS 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

All
derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in fair values between periods are recognized as a reduction or increase of interest expense on the
income statement,as we do not currently apply hedge accounting to our derivatives. Net cash received or paid under derivative contracts where material in any reporting period is classified as
operating cash flow in our consolidated cash flow statements.

Deferred income taxes (assets and liabilities)

We report deferred taxes of our taxable subsidiaries resulting from the temporary differences between the book values and the tax values of assets and liabilities
using the liability method. The differences are calculated at nominal value using the enacted tax rate applicable at the time the temporary difference is expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets
attributable to unutilized losses carried forward or other timing differences are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that such losses will not be utilized to offset future
taxable income.

Other assets

Other assets consist of prepayments, debt issuance costs, interest and other receivables and other tangible fixed assets. Other tangible fixed assets consist of
computer equipment, motor vehicles and office furniture and are valued at acquisition cost and depreciated at various rates between 16% to 33% per annum over the assets' useful lives using the
straight-line method. We capitalize costs incurred in arranging financing as debt issuance costs. Debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the related
financing.

Accrued maintenance liability

In all of our aircraft leases, the lessees are responsible for maintenance and repairs of our flight equipment and related expenses during the term of the lease.
In some instances, we may incur maintenance and repair expenses for off-lease aircraft. We recognize leasing expenses in our income statement for all such expenditures. In many operating
lease and finance lease contracts, the lessee has the obligation to make a periodic payment of supplemental maintenance rent which is calculated with reference to the utilization of airframes, engines
and other major life-limited components during the lease. In the majority of these leases, we do not
recognize supplemental rent received as revenue, but as an accrued maintenance liability. In these leases, upon lessee presentation of invoices evidencing the completion of qualifying maintenance on
the aircraft or engine, we make a payment to the lessee to help compensate for the cost of the maintenance, up to the maximum of the supplemental maintenance rental payments made with respect to the
lease contract. In shorter-term lease contracts (primarily engine lease contracts) where the terms of the lease are designed specifically to allow us to directly manage the occurrence,
timing and associated cost of qualifying maintenance work on the flight equipment, supplemental rents collected during the lease are recognized as lease revenue. For flight equipment subject to these
shorter-term contracts, we record a charge to leasing expenses at the time maintenance work is performed on the flight equipment.

In
most lease contracts not requiring the payment of supplemental rents, the lessee is required to re-deliver the aircraft in a similar maintenance condition (normal wear and
tear excepted) as when accepted under the lease, with reference to major life-limited components of the aircraft. To the extent that such components are redelivered in a different
condition than at acceptance, there is normally an end-of-lease compensation adjustment for the difference at redelivery. We recognize receipts of
end-of-lease compensation adjustments as lease revenue when received and payments of end-of-lease adjustments as leasing expenses when paid.

In
addition, in both types of contracts, we may be obligated to make additional payments to the lessee for maintenance related expenses (lessor maintenance contributions or
top-ups) primarily related to usage of major life-limited components occurring prior to the lease. We record a charge to leasing expenses at the time of the occurrence of a
lessor contribution or top-up payment, except in instances where we have established an accrual as an assumed liability for such payment in connection with the purchase of an aircraft with
a lease attached, in which case such payments are charged against the existing accrual.

For
all of our lease contracts, any amounts of accrued maintenance liability existing at the end of a lease are released and recognized as lease revenue at lease termination. When flight
equipment is sold, the portion of the accrued maintenance liability which is not specifically assigned to the buyer is released from the balance sheet and recognized as sales revenue as part of the
sale of the flight equipment.

Accrual for onerous contracts

We make an accrual for onerous contracts where the undiscounted costs of performing under a contract or series of related contracts exceed the undiscounted
benefits expected to be derived from such contracts. In connection with a purchase business combination, accruals are recorded at the present value of such differences.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

Revenue recognition

As lessor, we lease flight equipment principally under operating leases and report rental income ratably over the life of the lease as it is earned. We account
for lease agreements that include step rent clauses on a straight line basis. Lease agreements for which base rent is based on floating interest rates are included in minimum lease payments based on
the floating interest rate existing at the inception of the lease; any increases or decreases in lease payments that result from subsequent changes in the floating interest rate are contingent rentals
and are recorded as increases or decreases in lease revenue in the period of the interest rate change. In certain cases, leases provide for rentals based on usage. The usage may be calculated based on
hourly usage or on the number of cycles operated, depending on the lease contract. We cease revenue recognition on a lease contract when the collectibility of such rentals is no longer reasonably
assured. For past-due rentals which have been recognized as revenue, provisions are established on the basis of management's assessment of collectibility and to the extent such rentals
exceed related security deposits held, and are recorded as expenses on the income statement.

Most
of our lease contracts require payment in advance. Rentals received, but unearned under these lease agreements are recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet.

Sales
revenues originate from the sale of aircraft, engines and parts and are recognized when the delivery of the relevant asset is complete and the risk of loss has transferred to the
buyer.

Revenues
from direct finance leases are recognized on the interest method to produce a level yield over the life of the finance lease. Expected unguaranteed residual values of leased
assets are based on our assessment of residual values and independent appraisals of the values of leased assets remaining at expiration of the lease terms.

Revenue
from secured loans, notes receivables and other interest bearing instruments is recognized on an effective yield basis as interest accrues under the associated contracts. Revenue
from lease management fees is recognized as income as it accrues over the life of the contract. Revenue from the receipt of lease termination penalties is recorded at the time cash is received or when
the lease is terminated, if collection is reasonably assured. Other revenue includes any net gains we generate from the sale of aircraft related investments, such as our subordinated interests in
securitization vehicles and notes, warrants or convertible securities issued by our lessees, which we receive from lessees as compensation for amounts owed to us in connection with lease
restructurings.

Pensions

We operate a number of non-contributory defined benefit plans and defined contribution schemes for substantially all of our employees. Defined benefit
plan obligations and contributions are determined periodically by qualified actuaries. We recognize pension liabilities and prepaid pension costs in accordance with SFAS No. 158,
"Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plansan amendment of SFASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132
(R)".

Share-based compensation

We account for share-based compensation in accordance with FAS 123R,Share-based payment. Accordingly, we
recognize compensation expense when it becomes probable that participants in share-based incentive plans who hold direct or indirect equity interests in our shares or options to acquire

such
shares will be able to achieve fair value. The amount of such expense is determined by reference to the fair value of the share or share option on the date of grant. The timing of expense
recognition is determined with reference to the timing of lapsing of restrictions on restricted shares and vesting on share options, including the lapsing of repurchase rights which allow other
parties to repurchase participants' shares at less than fair market value.

Foreign currencies

Foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the time the transaction took place or at the rates of exchange
under related forward contracts where such contracts exist. Subsequent receivables or payables resulting from such foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate
prevailing at each balance sheet date. All resulting exchange gains and losses are taken to the income statement.

Variable interest entities

We account for investment in variable interest entities in accordance with Revised Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46(R)"), Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entitiesand its predecessor, Interpretation 46 ("FIN 46"),Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51. We adopted FIN 46 in January 2003 and FIN 46(R) in January 2005.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is presented in accordance with SFAS 128,Earnings Per Sharewhich requires the
presentation of "basic" earnings per share and "diluted" earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average shares of
common stock outstanding during the period. For the purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the denominator includes both the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during the period and the weighted average number of potentially dilutive common stock, such as stock options.

5. Flight equipment held for operating leases, net (Continued)

At December 31, 2007 we owned 136 aircraft and 67 engines, which we leased under operating leases to 77 lessees in 41 countries. The
geographic concentrations of leasing revenues are set out in Note 19.

Prepayments
on flight equipment (including related capitalized interest) of $18,564, $32,914, $48,971 and $93,213 have been applied against the purchase of aircraft during the six months
ended June 30, 2005, the period from June 27 to December 31, 2005, the year ended December 31, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2007, respectively.

The
following table indicates our contractual commitments for the prepayment and purchase of flight equipment in the periods indicated as of December 31, 2007:

|                      |  | 2008 |         | 2009 |           | 2010 |           | 2011

The
titles to certain aircraft leased in the United States are held by a U.S. trust company as required by U.S. law. We are the beneficial owner of these aircraft and the aircraft are
recorded under flight equipment held for operating lease on the consolidated balance sheets. The trust company is administered by a bank. The aircraft are segregated from the bank's assets and will
not be considered part of the bank's bankruptcy estate in the event of a trustee bankruptcy.

7. Prepayments on flight equipment

In 1999, we signed a forward order contract with Airbus for the acquisition of up to 32 new aircraft between 2004 and 2009 ("1999 Forward Order"). Of that
original order, seven aircraft deliveries were cancelled pursuant to cancellation rights granted by Airbus and the remaining aircraft have all been delivered as of December 31, 2007.

7. Prepayments on flight equipment (Continued)

In
2005, through a wholly-owned special purpose company ("AerVenture"), we signed a letter of intent with Airbus for the forward purchase of 70 aircraft ("2005 Forward Order"). As
discussed above, we consolidate the accounts of AerVenture as it is a variable interest entity for which we are the primary beneficiary.

In
December 2006, we placed an order with Airbus to acquire 20 new A330-200 widebody aircraft ("A330 Forward Order"). In May 2007, we added an additional ten
A330-200 aircraft to this order. The delivery schedule for the 30 A330-200 aircraft order includes two aircraft to be delivered in 2008, eight aircraft in 2009, ten in 2010,
four in 2011 and six in 2012.

In
connection with all three forward order contracts, we are required to make scheduled prepayments toward these future deliveries (see table in Note 5). A total amount of
interest of $3,084, $2,767, $6,236 and $10,348 was capitalized with respect to these payments for the six months ended June 30, 2005, the period from June 27, 2005 to December 31,
2005, the year ended December 31, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2007, respectively. As described in Note 15, because the contracted purchase prices of the aircraft at
delivery under the 1999 Forward Order were in excess of the anticipated fair market value of the aircraft at delivery, we recognized an accrual for onerous contracts with respect to this forward order
at the 2005 Acquisition.

Following
is a summary of the movements in prepayments on flight equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2005, the period from June 27, 2005 to December 31,
2005, the year ended December 31, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2007:

Our
subordinated debt investment in a single aircraft owning company is accounted for at cost. Our 25% equity investment in an unconsolidated joint venture is accounted for under the
equity method. During 2007 we sold two aircraft to our joint venture AerDragon. The gain relating to the sale of these aircraft has been credited to the investment in AerDragon.

11. Derivative assets and liabilities

We use a variety of derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate and foreign currency risk. These derivative products can include interest rate
caps, swaps, options and forward contracts.

As
of December 31, 2007, we had 26 interest rate caps, one interest rate swap and several foreign currency forward contracts with combined notional amounts of $2.4 billion
and a fair value of $21,763. The variable benchmark interest rates associated with these instruments ranged from one to six-month LIBOR.

We
have not applied hedge accounting under SFAS 133,Accounting for Derivatives,to any of the above derivatives. The change in
fair value of the derivatives, therefore, is recorded in income from continuing operations before income taxes and minority interests as a reduction of interest expense as specified below:

|                                    |  | AerCap B.V. |        | AerCap Holdings N.V.

|                                    |  |             |        |                     

Some
of our agreements with derivative counterparties require a two-way cash collateralization of derivative fair values. Cash paid and received under such arrangements is
included in restricted cash (Note 3).

The
maximum length of time over which we are hedging our exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions, excluding those forecasted transactions related to
the payment of variable interest on existing financial instruments, is 2019.

Guarantee liabilityIn 1996, we terminated lease agreements with two head lessors covering 12 A320 aircraft
under which we were obligated as head-lessee. In connection with this early termination, we assigned our rights as sublessor under sublease agreements covering the 12 aircraft to the
respective head lessors.

In
addition to the sublease assignments, we also issued guarantees to the head lessors covering the sublessee's obligations to the head lessors under the assigned subleases. We would be
required to make payments under the guarantees if the sublessee were to default under the lease agreements with the head lessors. At December 31, 2007, the maximum amount which we could be
required to pay is estimated at $6,837. The subleases and our obligations under the guarantees expire between the years 2008 and 2013. As referenced in Note 3, our potential obligations under
the guarantees are secured by cash held in restricted bank accounts. This restricted cash is released back to us according to a set schedule as the sublessee fulfills its obligations under the leases.

13. Accrued expenses and other liabilities (Continued)

We have recognized a liability equal to the estimated fair value of the guarantee since the time we became obligated for the guarantee as a result of a previous
company acquisition. At the date of the 2005 Acquisition, we adjusted the fair value of the guarantee obligation in connection with the purchase accounting.

In
2007, we purchased five of the original 12 A320 aircraft to which the guarantee related and extinguished a portion of our obligations under the guarantee. We recognized a $10,736
gain, classified as other revenue, at the extinguishment of the guarantee liability and released the associated restricted cash.

Lease deficiencyLease deficiency represents lease rates for current lease contracts which are below current market rentals
for the applicable aircraft at the time of purchase. The lease deficiency amortizes over the remaining term of the related lease agreements as a non-cash increase in lease revenue. The
remaining weighted average amortization period for the lease deficiency is 29 months.

Deposits under forward sale agreementsIn 2007, AerVenture Ltd., our consolidated joint venture, entered into an
amendment under its Airbus contract pursuant to which delivery positions for seven aircraft under the contract were effectively transferred to a third party buyer. Because retention of the total
economic benefit of the transaction to AerVenture is subject to performance criteria by AerVenture and the third party buyer and subject to ultimate delivery of the aircraft to the third-party buyer,
sales recognition has been deferred until delivery of each aircraft. Under the contract, AerVenture will receive some payments that will ultimately be re-paid and some payments which it
will permanently retain. Amounts collected by AerVenture which will be re-paid are recognized as deposits under forward sales agreements, while amounts received that will be retained will
be classified as deferred revenue in periods prior to delivery and recognized as sales revenue upon delivery.

14. Debt

Debt consists of the following as of December 31:

ECA-guaranteed financingsIn April 2003, we entered into an $840,000 export credit facility ("ECA Facility") for
the financing of up to 20 A320 Airbus Family aircraft up to December 31, 2005. Funding under the facility is provided by commercial banks, but the repayment is guaranteed by European export
credit agencies ("ECAs"). In January 2006, the ECA Facility was amended and extended to cover an additional nine aircraft and its size increased to a maximum of $1,215,000 for a further three years.
The terms of the lending commitment in the ECA Facility are such that the ECAs only approve funding for aircraft that are due for delivery on a six-month rolling basis and have no
obligation to fund deliveries beyond that time frame. The margin over three-month Libor ranges from 0.25% for aircraft delivered under the original facility and 0.12% for those aircraft delivered
subsequently to the January 2006 amendment. We are obligated to repay principal on ECA loans over a 12-year term. The ECA Facility contains certain net worth financial covenants, a breach
of which would cause us to lose some of our operational flexibility under our leases, such as a requirement to grant pledges over certain bank accounts to the respective lenders. In addition, all
loans under the ECA Facility contain change of control provisions that grant the lenders the right to prepayment of their loans in the event of a change of control, unless the lenders consent to the
change of control.

The
security structures of the ECA-guaranteed debt require that legal title to the aircraft be transferred to and held by a special purpose company controlled by the lenders.
We have entered into head lease agreements on the subject aircraft which transfer the risk and rewards of ownership of the aircraft to us. Aircraft subject to these structures are recorded as flight
equipment held for operating lease on our balance sheets. The obligations outstanding under the ECA financings are secured by a pledge of our shares to the lenders which hold legal title to the
aircraft financed under the respective financing. The obligations of each of our aircraft-owning subsidiaries under the ECA Facility are guaranteed by us.

At
December 31, 2007, we had financed 17 aircraft under the ECA Facility, plus four aircraft financed under ECA financings prior to the April 2003 facility agreement. The net book
value of aircraft pledged to the ECAs under the ECA Facility and the previous ECA loans was $591,180 at December 31, 2007.

14. Debt (Continued)

JOL FinancingsWe have entered into several Japanese operating lease ("JOL") finance structures to finance
aircraft acquisitions. Funding under these structures is provided through a combination of senior commercial bank debt and subordinated loans from Japanese investors. The interest rate on the
subordinated loans is fixed and the interest rate on the senior loans are variable based on three- and six-month LIBOR with spreads ranging from 0.25% to 1.35%. The security structures of
the JOL financings require that legal title to the aircraft be transferred to and held by a special purpose company controlled by the respective lenders. We have entered into head lease agreements on
the subject aircraft which transfer the risk and rewards of ownership of the aircraft to us. Aircraft subject to these structures are recorded as flight equipment held for operating lease on our
balance sheets. The obligations outstanding under the JOL financings are secured by a pledge of our shares to the lenders which hold legal title to the aircraft financed under the respective
financing. The obligations of each of our aircraft-owning subsidiaries under the JOL financings are guaranteed by us. All loans under the JOL financings contain change of control provisions that grant
the lenders the right to prepayment of their loans in the event of a change of control, unless the lenders consent to the change of control. At December 31, 2007, we had financed three aircraft
under JOL structures. The net book value of aircraft pledged to JOL financings was $86,264 at December 31, 2007.

AerVenture Pre-delivery Payment FacilityOur consolidated joint venture vehicle, AerVenture, has entered into a
credit facility during 2006 with Calyon to finance a portion of the pre-delivery payments to Airbus in an amount up to $207,500 ("AerVenture Facility"). Prior to drawing on the facility,
AerVenture will pay, on average, 15% of the pre-delivery payment amount owed for each aircraft. AerVenture must repay the lenders for the amounts drawn for the pre-delivery
payment for each aircraft at the delivery date of that aircraft or, if the aircraft is not delivered on the scheduled delivery date, within three months of the scheduled delivery date. Borrowings
under the AerVenture Facility are secured by, among other things, the partial assignment of the airframe and engine purchase agreements in respect of the 30 aircraft covered by the facility, including
the right to take delivery of the aircraft where Calyon has provided the pre-delivery payments and the aircraft remains undelivered. The AerVenture Facility contains customary affirmative
and financial covenants for secured financings. We have agreed to maintain a minimum of 25% of the shares of AerVenture until the AerVenture Facility is fully repaid. AerVenture is required to
maintain a minimum net worth and a debt to equity ratio below a specified threshold.

UBS Revolving Credit FacilityAerFunding 1 Limited ("AerFunding") is a special purpose company incorporated with limited
liability in Bermuda. The share capital of AerFunding is owned 95% by a charitable trust and 5% by AerCap Ireland. AerFunding was formed for the purpose
of acquiring used aircraft assets which we acquire in the market. AerFunding entered into a non recourse senior secured revolving credit facility during 2006 in the aggregate amount of up to
$1,000,000 with a syndicate of financial institutions led by UBS.

The
revolving loans under the credit facility are divided into two classes: class A loans, which have a maximum advance limit of $830,000 and class B loans, which have a
maximum advance limit of $170,000. In addition to borrowings under the revolving credit facilities, AerFunding has also issued subordinated notes to us at each aircraft purchase. Borrowings under the
revolving credit facility can be used to finance between 66% and 79% of the appraised value of the acquired aircraft or, in the case of Boeing 737NG and Airbus A320 family aircraft, between 74% and
80% of the lower of the purchase

and the appraised value of the acquired aircraft. In addition, value enhancing expenditures and required liquidity reserves are also funded by the lenders. All borrowings under the revolving
credit facility are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions and restrictions on the purchase of aircraft that would result in our portfolio becoming too highly concentrated, with regard to
both aircraft type and geographical location. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are secured by, among other things, security interests in and pledges or assignments of equity ownership
and beneficial interests in all of the subsidiaries of AerFunding, as well as by AerFunding's interests in the leases of its assets. Creditors of AerFunding may only look to the assets of AerFunding
and its subsidiaries for repaymentthe obligations of AerFunding 1 Limited are non-recourse to us.

The
UBS revolving credit facility includes general and operating covenants that restrict additional indebtedness in the AerFunding subsidiaries owning the related aircraft, the payment
of dividends and other limitations which are customary for such credit facilities.

At
December 31, 2007, we had financed two aircraft under the UBS revolving credit facility. The net book value of the two aircraft pledged to lenders under the credit facility was
$66,459 at December 31, 2007.

AeroTurbine Revolving Loan FacilityIn connection with the prepayment of the existing senior and subordinated debt with Calyon
with the proceeds of our initial public offering, we amended and restated our AeroTurbine credit facilities and increased the capacity under the revolving loan facility to $220,000. On
December 19, 2007, the facility size was increased to $328,000 including the addition of a letter of credit facility in the amount of $10,000 (which amount is included in the total commitment
of $328,000). Borrowings under the revolving loan facility are secured by security interests in and pledges or assignments of all the shares and other ownership interests in AeroTurbine and its
subsidiaries, as well as by all assets of AeroTurbine and its subsidiaries. The revolving loan facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain
exceptions, the ability of AeroTurbine to incur additional indebtedness; create liens on assets, including assets financed with proceeds from the revolving loan facility; make advances, loans,
extensions of credit, guarantees, capital contributions or other investments; engage in mergers or consolidations; engage in certain sale-leaseback transactions; change the business
conducted by AeroTurbine and its
subsidiaries; and make certain capital expenditures. Additionally, the revolving loan facility includes a restriction in AeroTurbine's ability to declare or pay dividends or other asset distributions
to other group companies above a certain defined threshold. The revolving loan facility also requires AeroTurbine to maintain certain minimum debt-to-earnings and
earnings-to-expenses ratios. All of AeroTurbine's tangible assets of approximately $383,681 at December 31, 2007 are pledged as collateral for the revolving loan
facility.

GATX Portfolio Acquisition FacilityIn connection with the purchase of a portfolio of up to 25 aircraft from GATX, our
consolidated subsidiary entered into a senior secured loan facility in the aggregate amount of up to $248,000 with Calyon and certain other financial institutions. On December 20, 2007, the
original facility was amended and supplemented to allow for an additional senior facility in an aggregate amount of up to $150,000 million to be provided by Calyon and certain other financial
institutions. This additional facility is available to finance a percentage (calculated by reference to relevant aircraft types and lease status) of the purchase price of a variety of specified
aircraft makes and models. Borrowings under the additional facility can be used to finance the lesser of 85% of the purchase price and up to 72.5% of the appraised value of the aircraft. Borrowings

the
senior facility are secured by mortgages on the aircraft and security interests in and pledges or assignments of all the shares and other ownership interests in the borrower and its subsidiaries,
as well as their bank accounts and lease interests. The loans include general and operating covenants that restrict the borrower from incurring additional indebtedness and other limitations which are
customary for such credit facilities. At December 31, 2007, we had financed 21 aircraft under the original loan facility. The net book value of the 21 aircraft pledged to lenders under the loan
facility was $244,593 at December 31, 2007.

ALS Securitization DebtALS is a special purpose company incorporated with limited liability in Jersey, Channel Islands, on
August 10, 2005. The share capital of ALS is owned 95.1% by Jersey charitable trusts and 4.9% by AerCap Ireland. ALS was formed for the purpose of raising securitized debt financing on 42 of
our aircraft which were not then subject to other secured financings. On May 8, 2007, we completed a refinancing of our Aircraft Lease Securitisation securitization with the issuance of
$1.66 billion of securitized notes in one class of AAA-rated class G-3 floating rate notes. The proceeds from the refinancing were used to redeem all outstanding
Aircraft Lease Securitisation debt, other than the most junior class of notes, to refinance the indebtedness that had been incurred to purchase 24 previously acquired aircraft, and to finance the
purchase of four additional new aircraft, increasing Aircraft Lease Securitisation's aircraft portfolio size to 70 aircraft. As a result of the refinancing, we recorded additional interest expense of
$27,402 related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs. After the refinancing, Aircraft Lease Securitisation sold five aircraft, resulting in an aircraft portfolio size of 65
aircraft at December 31, 2007.

The
primary source of payments on the notes is lease payments on the aircraft owned by the subsidiaries of Aircraft Lease Securitisation. We retained the most junior class of notes in
the securitization, as a result of which we still consolidate Aircraft Lease Securitisation's results in our financial statements. The net book value of the remaining 65 aircraft pledged as collateral
for the securitization debt was $1,549,203 at December 31, 2007.

ALS
is bankruptcy-remote from us and the lenders to ALS may only look to proceeds derived from the 65 ALS aircraft for repayment. The indenture agreement, which governs the securitized
notes, require that ALS hold a designated amount of cash aside in restricted accounts for future cash flow requirements of ALS. All cash held by ALS is recorded as restricted cash on our balance
sheets. The indenture also requires ALS to comply with a number of general and operating covenants including, but not limited to the following:



A330 Pre-delivery Payment FacilityIn December 2006, we signed a purchase agreement to purchase up to 20 Airbus
A330 aircraft. In May 2007, the purchase agreement was amended to add 10 additional A330 aircraft. The aircraft are scheduled to be delivered between the first quarter of 2009 and the last quarter of
2012. Under the purchase agreement, we agreed to make scheduled pre-delivery

payments
to Airbus prior to the physical delivery of each aircraft. In connection with the scheduled delivery of the first 8 aircraft before the end of 2009, we entered into a facility in October
2007, which was arranged by Citigroup Global Markets Limited, to finance a portion of the pre-delivery payments to Airbus in an amount up to $182.6 million. Prior to drawing on the
facility, we paid, on average, 10% of the pre-delivery payment amount owed for each aircraft. We must repay the lenders for the amounts drawn for the pre-delivery payment for
each aircraft at the delivery date of that aircraft or, if the aircraft is not delivered on the scheduled delivery date, within three months of the scheduled delivery date. The aggregate principal
amount of the loans outstanding under this facility was $28.8 million as of December 31, 2007.

Commercial Bank DebtWe have entered into various commercial bank financings to fund the purchase of individual or small
groups of aircraft. The financings mature at various dates through 2019. The interest rates are a mix of one-, three- and six-month LIBOR-based with spreads ranging from 0.95%
to 1.80%. The financings are secured by a pledge of the shares of the subsidiaries owning the related aircraft and a guarantee from us. Most of our commercial bank debt contain affirmative covenants
customary for secured financings, such as the
regular provision of financial information and disclosure of material events affecting us, among others. At December 31, 2007, we had financed 13 aircraft and three engines under commercial
bank financings. The net book value of the 13 aircraft and three engines pledged to commercial bank financings was $329,426 at December 31, 2007.

Capital Lease ObligationsWe are obligated under capital lease agreements involving four aircraft that originated from
sale-leaseback transactions. Our obligations under these capital leases are defeased through interest bearing receivables held by the lenders to the sale-leaseback structures.
We have also placed additional commercial debt financing of $96,071 at December 31, 2007 on these four aircraft. The net book value at December 31, 2007 of the four aircraft securing the
capital lease obligations was $138,156, which is also included in the net book value of aircraft securing commercial bank debt above. Depreciation of $3,084, $4,429, $6,169 and $6,169 have been
charged on these assets during the six months ended June 30, 2005, the period from June 27, 2005 to December 31, 2005, the year ended December 31, 2006 and the year ended
December 31, 2007. The future minimum lease payments under the capital leases, together with the scheduled return of principal amounts in related defeased structures are as follows:

During
2006, we purchased an aircraft that was previously subject to a capital lease and terminated the capital lease obligation. The purchase consideration represented a discount of

carrying
value of our capital lease obligation. In accordance with FIN 26,Accounting for Purchase of a Leased Asset by the Lessee during the Term of the Lease an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 13,the amount of the discount has been applied to reduce the net book value of the related aircraft.

At
December 31, 2007, we had also issued letters of credit in an amount of $6,838 in support of certain obligations. All issued letters of credit are fully cash collateralized
with restricted cash. In addition, at December 31, 2007, we had available credit facilities of $2,083,725 and an on-demand overdraft facility of $10,000, which were undrawn.

A
total amount of capitalized interest of $3,084, $2,767, $4,888 and $10,398 reduced interest expense in respect of the prepayments on flight equipment (Note 7) for the six months
ended June 30, 2005, the period from June 27, 2005 to December 31, 2005, the year ended December 31, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2007, respectively.

Lease-in, Lease-out transactionsAt December 31, 2007, we leased in six
aircraft from three different lessors under operating head leases that mature between 2009 and 2013. At December 31, 2007, we had entered into sublease agreements with several different
customers covering these same aircraft. For four aircraft, the lease termination dates of the subleases are matched to the lease termination dates under the head leases. For the other two aircraft,
the related subleases had been terminated as of December 31, 2007. The contracted sublease receipts are insufficient to cover our monthly obligations under the head leases. These transactions
are recorded at their net present value as a result of purchase accounting.

We
have established a liability equal to the difference between the present value of head lease expenses and the present value of sublease revenue, discounted at appropriate discount
rates. The amount of this liability amortizes to income monthly on a constant yield basis as we meet our obligations under the head leases.

As
referenced in Note 3, we are required, in some instances, to maintain deposits in restricted accounts or to cash-back letters of credit which are
security to the respective headlessors for our obligations under the LILO transactions.

During
2007, we purchased five aircraft which previously were subject to head leases and terminated the related head leases. The purchase consideration represented a discount of $16,033
to the carrying value of the related onerous contract accrual. In accordance with FIN 26,Accounting for Purchase of a Leased Asset by the Lessee during the Term of the
Lease an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 13,the amount of the discount has been applied to reduce the net book value of the related aircraft.

In
addition, in February 2008, we purchased the two aircraft which were not subject to subleases from the head lessor and terminated the head leases.

Forward order contractAs indicated in Note 7, we were committed for the purchase of nine firm aircraft under the 1999
Forward Order contract for delivery in 2007. Because the contracted purchase prices of the aircraft at delivery were expected to be in excess of the anticipated fair market value of the aircraft at
delivery, we had recognized an accrual for onerous contracts with respect to the forward order. The accrual was recognized at the date of the Acquisition as the excess of the net
present value of costs to be incurred under the contract over the estimated fair value of the aircraft at delivery. At December 31, 2007, the accrual has been offset against the purchase price
of the aircraft in connection with the delivery of these aircraft during 2007.

16. Income taxes (Continued)

The calculation of income for tax purposes differs significantly from book income. Deferred income tax is provided to reflect the impact of temporary differences
between the amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured under tax law in the various jurisdictions. Tax loss carryforwards and accelerated tax
depreciation on flight equipment held for operating leases give rise to the most significant timing differences. In addition, the U.S. subsidiaries have significant timing difference in respect of
payments and receipts under the lease-in, lease-out transactions described in Note 15 and timing differences with respect to capitalized expenses.

The
following tables describe the principal components of our deferred tax assets and liabilities by jurisdiction at December 31, 2006 and 2007.

We
adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan Interpretation of SFAS Statement
109"(FIN 48) on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements and
provides guidance on the
recognition, de-recognition and measurement of benefits related to an entity's uncertain income tax positions. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements. Following is a rollforward of unrecognized tax benefits during the year ended December 31, 2007:

Our
primary tax jurisdictions are the Netherlands, United States, Ireland and Sweden. Our tax returns in The Netherlands are open for examination from 2006 forward, in Ireland from 2003
forward, in Sweden from 2002 forward and in the United States from 2004 forward. With the exception of Sweden, none of our tax returns are currently subject to examination. Tax returns for the years
1999 and 2000 are currently being disputed by the Swedish tax authorities. We have not made any provision for the disputed tax liabilities under FAS 109 or FIN 48.

Our
policy is that we recognize accrued interest on the underpayment of income taxes as a component of interest expense and penalties associated with tax liabilities as a component of
income tax expense. During 2007, we recognized a total of $854 as interest expense on tax payments. There was no accrued interest or accrued penalties on tax payments at either January 1, 2007
or December 31, 2007

The Netherlands

The majority of our Netherlands subsidiaries are part of a single Netherlands fiscal unity and are included in a consolidated tax filing. Due to the existence of
interest bearing intercompany liabilities, no current tax expense normally arises with respect to the Netherlands subsidiaries. In 2007, a payment

of
current tax was made in relation to the settlement of prior year tax returns which were closed in the settlement. Deferred income tax is calculated using the Netherlands corporate income tax rate
legislated to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse of 25.5%.

Ireland

Our aircraft owning and principal operating Irish resident subsidiaries enjoyed the benefit of a 10% rate of corporate tax on qualifying trading activities until
December 31, 2005. After December 2005, the enacted tax rate is 12.5%. Our principal Irish tax-resident operating subsidiary has significant losses forward at December 31,
2007 which give rise to deferred tax assets. The availability of these losses does not expire with time. In addition, the vast majority of all of our Irish tax-resident subsidiaries are
able to deduct accelerated aircraft depreciation for tax purposes and offset net taxable income and loss within our Irish tax group of companies within a given tax year. Accordingly, no Irish tax
charge arose during the year. Based on projected taxable profits in our Irish subsidiaries, including our principal Irish tax-resident operating subsidiary where we hold significant Irish
tax losses, we expect to recover the full value of our Irish tax assets and have not recognized a valuation allowance against such assets at December 31, 2007.

United States of America

Our U.S. subsidiaries are assessable to federal and state U.S. taxes. Prior to our acquisition of AeroTurbine, our U.S. subsidiaries had significant timing
differences available to offset future federal taxable profits and no current tax charge arose in periods prior to the AeroTurbine acquisition. Following a change of ownership of the U.S. Company in
November 2000, and the change of control at the 2005 Acquisition, certain restrictions, under Section 382 of the IRS tax code, were imposed on the utilization of the net losses in existence at
those dates and no tax asset had been recognized for these losses occurring prior to these changes of control.

Beginning
with the tax year ending December 31, 2006, we file a consolidated federal income tax return in the U.S. which includes the accounts of AeroTurbine. The blended
federal and state tax rate applicable to our consolidated US group is 37.26% for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Sweden

The Swedish entities have significant losses forward at December 31, 2007 which give rise to deferred tax assets. The availability of these losses does not
expire with time. Accordingly, no Swedish tax charge arose during the year. Based on projected taxable profits in our Swedish subsidiaries we expect to recover the full value of our Swedish tax assets
and have not recognized a valuation allowance at December 31, 2007.

17. Share capital

From the date of our acquisition of AerCap B.V. to just prior to our initial public offering, we were a Netherlands limited partnership under the name of
AerCap Holdings C.V. with $370,000 of partnership capital held by four limited partners and one general partner, all located in Luxemburg. In anticipation of our public offering, AerCap
Holdings N.V. was formed with 45,000 shares held by the

same
Luxemburg entities. AerCap Holdings N.V. issued one additional share to acquire all of the assets and liabilities of AerCap Holdings C.V. in a common control transaction after which,
AerCap Holdings C.V. was put in liquidation. On November 10, 2006, we effected a 1,738.6 for one stock split resulting in total shares issued and outstanding of 78,236,957 and reduced the par
value of each common share from €1.00 to €0.01. Because our conversion from a Netherlands limited partnership to a Netherlands public limited liability company was
accomplished in a common control transaction, we have retroactively reflected our capital structure during the period when our group was owned by AerCap Holdings C.V. (limited partnership) as if it
were owned by AerCap Holdings N.V. based on 78,236,957 shares outstanding.

On
November 21, 2006, we sold 6.8 million shares at $23 per share in an initial public offering. We received net proceeds of $143,017 after deducting underwriting discounts
and commissions and offering
expenses payable by us. We used the net proceeds from the initial public offering plus existing cash to retire $168,600 of senior and subordinated debt of AeroTurbine. In connection with the early
retirement of this debt, we wrote off $3,300 of debt issuance costs and paid prepayment penalties of $1,686.

As
of December 31, 2007, our authorized share capital consists of 200,000,000 common shares with a par value of €0.01 with 85,036,957 issued and outstanding.

As
described in Note 14, the ability of our wholly-owned subsidiary, AeroTurbine, to declare and pay dividends to us of cash or other assets, above a certain threshold is
restricted under the terms of its revolving loan facility. Our consolidated shareholders' equity includes shareholders' equity attributable to AeroTurbine of $261,911.

18. Share-based compensation

Bermuda Equity Grants

Effective June 30, 2005, Bermuda holding companies which indirectly owned 100% of our equity interests put into place an Equity Incentive Plan ("Bermuda
Equity Plan") under which members of our senior management, Board of Directors and an employee of Cerberus (the "participants") can be granted either restricted shares or share options ("Bermuda
Equity Grants") in such holding companies. The Bermuda holding companies were formed with identical capital structures and each had an equal percentage indirect ownership interest in us, representing
an aggregate 100% of our ownership interest in us prior to our initial public offering and 69.3% after our initial public offering and 45.8% at December 31, 2007. Prior to December 31,
2007, all of the interests in our shares held by the four Bermuda holding companies were combined into one holding company ("Bermuda Parent") and all participants' interests in the other Bermuda
holding companies were transferred to the remaining Bermuda Parent. The Bermuda Parent does not own any other significant assets or conduct any other significant activities outside of their indirect
investment in us and the value of the Bermuda Parent is derived exclusively with reference to the value of our shares.

We
apply the provisions of SFAS 123(R), "Share-based payment"in accounting for the Bermuda Equity Grants. In addition to formal
vesting restrictions, the terms of the Bermuda Equity Grants contain provisions which allow the Bermuda Parent to repurchase any restricted shares or shares obtained through the exercise of options
upon the occurrence of certain employment termination

events
or cessation of service on the board of directors for share options issued to our independent directors. All holders of Bermuda Equity Grants signed a Share Agreement in connection with our
initial public offering which gives each of them the right to exchange their Bermuda Parent shares or share options for our shares or options on our shares directly with the Bermuda Parent. Such right
is not exercisable until November 27, 2008 and is valid for a period of three years from that date. The Share Agreement also restricts all such holders from selling or pledging their interests
in the Bermuda Parents. Beginning November 27, 2008, the participants will not be restricted from selling their interests in our shares and the Bermuda Parent's rights to repurchase restricted
shares or shares obtained through the exercise of options upon certain employment termination rights will lapse. All share options granted under the Bermuda Equity Plan are exercisable for a period of
ten years from the date of issuance.

December 2005 IssuanceIn December 2005, restricted shares and "zero strike price" share options were issued under the Bermuda
Equity Plan to members of our senior management and an employee of Cerberus. The terms of the awards contain provisions which allow the Bermuda Parent to repurchase any restricted shares or shares
obtained through the exercise of options at no cost upon the occurrence of certain employment termination events. According to the terms of these Bermuda Equity Grants, the options were to vest and
certain restrictions on the restricted shares were to lapse during the period from June 2005 to December 2009 according to certain time and performance criteria. All share options vested and all
restrictions on restricted shares lapsed (other than the repurchase rights referred to above), upon the closing of our initial public offering. The fair value of the shares and options issued in
December 2005 were calculated with reference to the transaction price for the 2005 Acquisition on June 30, 2005 and considered all factors effecting the value between that date and the grant
date. For all shares and share options except those held by an employee of Cerberus, expense recognition under SFAS 123(R) is based on the grant date fair value. The share-based compensation
for the employee of Cerberus is based on the mark-to-market value of the underlying shares at each reporting date. Despite the formal vesting of these restricted shares and
share options at the date of our initial public offering, expense recognition of these Bermuda Equity Grants will be recognized between the date of our initial public offering and two years from that
date, which is the date that the holders can exchange their Bermuda holding company shares for shares in our company and sell them in the market. This period of two years represents the period of
"substantial vesting" under SFAS 123(R).

April 2006 IssuanceOn April 26, 2006, (the date of the AT Acquisition) the selling shareholders of AT purchased
restricted shares in the Bermuda Parent. These restricted shares were subject to certain time and performance criteria similar to the December 2005 grants. The agreements which govern the restricted
shares allow the Bermuda Parent to call the restricted shares and allow the selling shareholders of AT to put their shares back to the Bermuda Parent at fair market value upon the occurrence of
certain employment termination events. In connection with our initial public offering, all restrictions on these restricted shares, other than the put and call rights referred to above, lapsed
and all remaining unrecognized fair value was recognized as stock-based compensation in our income statement for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Senior Management IssuanceOn August 21, 2006 and September 5, 2006 the Bermuda Parent issued stock options
under the Bermuda Equity Plan to three members of the Company's senior

management.
The options vest over a four-year period of time according to both time and performance-based criteria and have a strike price equivalent to $7.00 with reference to our shares.
All of the options issued vest upon a change of control. The option agreements contain provisions which allow the Bermuda Parents to repurchase any shares obtained through the exercise of options at
the lower of fair market value or the exercise price paid upon the occurrence of certain employment termination events. Twenty-percent of the options vested upon our initial public offering and
another 40% have vested as of December 31, 2007 based on achievement of both time and performance measures.

Independent Director IssuanceOn September 5, 2006, the Bermuda Parent granted options under the Bermuda Equity Plan to
four non-executive directors of the Company. The options granted to the directors are not subject to vesting criteria and have a strike price equivalent to $7.00 with reference to our
shares. The Bermuda Parents have the right to repurchase any shares acquired through the exercise of options at fair market value within 90 days of the conclusion of any director's term on the
board of directors.

Since
all of the Bermuda Equity Grants outstanding are shares or share options in the Bermuda Parents and since the right of the holders of the Bermuda Equity Grants to exchange their
shares in the Bermuda Parents for our shares after the two-year period is not directly with us, the existence of the restricted share and share options is not dilutive to our share
ownership.

The
fair values of all shares and share options issued in 2006 which have a grant date as defined by SFAS 123(R), were calculated on their respective grant dates based on the
value of our underlying shares at the time of our initial public offering. To this value, a discount for lack of marketability ("DLOM") was applied to reflect the fact that (i) the shares being
valued represent an illiquid minority interest in a closely-held indirect holding company without access to a recognized market and (ii) the shares are subject to significant
restrictions which prevent their transfer or pledge.

In
accordance with SFAS 123R, the amount of compensation expense recognized for restricted shares is derived with reference to the excess of fair market value of the shares at the
date of grant over the price paid, if any. The amount of expense recognized with respect to share options is based on the fair value of the option using the share valuation method described above and
then applying a Black-Scholes option pricing model to the underlying share value. The value of each of the Bermuda Equity Grants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable
vesting periods.

For
options valued with a Black-Scholes option pricing model, we have used the following

Assumptions:

Volatility

38.25%-39.90%Expected life

5.00-5.93 yearsRisk-free interest rate

4.67%-4.72%Dividend yield rate

0.00%


Since
our shares had not traded in the public market at the time of the valuations, we derived our volatility assumptions by comparison to peer group companies. The expected life
represents the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding. The risk free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant and which has a term equal to the
expected life of the options. The expected dividend yield is based on our history of not paying regular dividends in the past and our current intention not to pay regular dividends in the foreseeable
future. The differing assumptions used result from the differences in expected life among the different tranches of stock options valued.

18. Share-based compensation (Continued)

The offsetting entry for the compensation expense recognized for Bermuda Equity Grants is to additional paid-in capital with no resulting effect on
total shareholders' equity, other than the positive effect of the deferred tax benefit related to the tax deductible portion of share-based compensation charges.

A
summary of activity for all issuances under the Bermuda Equity Plan for the years ending December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007 is set forth below. Because the number of shares and
share options under the Bermuda Equity Plan are shares and share options of the Bermuda Parent, ownership interests in the table below have been stated as the equivalent number of our shares which are
represented by the Bermuda Parent shares.

AerCap Holdings NV Equity Grants

On October 31, 2006, we implemented an equity incentive plan that is designed to promote our interests by enabling us to attract, retain and motivate
directors, employees, consultants and advisors and align their interests with ours ("NV Equity Plan"). The NV Equity Plan provides for the grant of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock
options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock awards ("NV Equity Grants") to participants of the plan selected by the Nomination and Compensation
Committee of our Board of Directors. Subject to certain adjustments, the maximum number of shares available to be granted under the plan is equal to 5% of our outstanding shares.

The
terms and conditions of NV Equity Grants, including vesting provisions for stock options, are determined by the Nomination and Compensation Committee, except that, unless
otherwise determined by the Nomination and Compensation Committee, or as set forth in an award agreement: (a) each NV Equity Grant is granted for ten years from the date of grant, or, in
the case of certain key employees, (i.e., employees owning more than 10% of our ordinary shares), for five years from the date of grant; provided, however, no stock option period may extend
beyond ten years from the date of grant; (b) the option price per share for incentive stock options may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the ordinary shares except that the
option price per share for a key employee may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the ordinary shares at the time the incentive stock option is granted; and (c) incentive stock
options may only be issued to the extent the aggregate fair market value of shares with respect to the exercise of the incentive stock options for the first time by an option holder during any
calendar year is $100,000 or less, with any additional stock options being treated as nonqualified stock options.

In
September 2007, a total of 2.4 million non-qualified stock options were issued under the NV Equity Plan to certain employees of the Company. All options
issued vest over a period of four years

18. Share-based compensation (Continued)

based
on both time and performance-based criteria and all are exercisable at $24.63 per share option. All non-qualified stock options issued under the NV Equity Plan remained
unvested at December 31, 2007. There are no other NV Equity Grants issued or outstanding under the NV Equity Plan at December 31, 2007. The fair value of the
1.2 million options which vest according to time-based criteria has been calculated as $10.72 per option. The 1.2 million performance-based options were fair valued at
per-option values between $4.23 and $5.64 depending on the performance year to which they relate. Total stock-based compensation recognized in the year ended December 31, 2007
relating to the NV Equity Grants was $935. Assuming that established performance criteria are met and that no forfeitures occur, we expect to recognize share-based compensation related
to NV Equity Grants of approximately $4.6 million during each of 2008, 2009 and 2010 and $3.9 million during 2011.

The
value of the options issued under the NV Equity Plan was calculated by a Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

Volatility

33.92%-36.38%Expected life

5.33-6.25 yearsRisk-free interest rate

3.11%-4.10%Dividend yield rate

0.00%


Volatility
assumptions were derived by comparison to peer group companies due to the lack of significant trading history in our shares. The expected life represents the
period of time the options are expected to be outstanding. The risk free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant and which has a term equal to the expected life
of the options. The expected dividend yield is based on our history of not paying regular dividends in the past and our current intention not to pay regular dividends in the foreseeable future. The
differing assumptions used result from the differences in expected life among the different tranches (time-based vs. performance-based) of stock options valued.

19. Segment information

Reportable Segments

Prior to the acquisition of AT, we operated in one reportable segmentleasing, financing and management of commercial aircraft. From the date of the
acquisition of AT, we manage our business, analyze and report our results of operations on the basis of two business segmentsleasing, financing, sales and management of commercial
aircraft ("Aircraft") and leasing, financing and sales of engines and parts ("Engine and Parts").

The
following sets forth significant information from our reportable segments:

No
lessee accounted for more than 10% of lease revenue in any of the periods indicated above. Sales revenue is comprised of 75% from our aircraft segment and 25% from our
engine and parts segment. We have not provided a geographical breakdown of sales revenue because a material percentage of our sales are of movable flight equipment and are to buyers that have multiple
locations. In addition, we have not provided a breakdown of management fee revenue, interest revenue or other revenue because amounts are less material than lease and sales revenue and we do not
believe a geographical breakdown of such revenues is helpful in identifying geographical concentration risks to our business.

22. Related party transactions

Until the 2005 Acquisition, the Previous Shareholder Lenders had provided us with subordinated loans for a total of $350,650 as at the time of the 2005
Acquisition. The interest rates on these loans were variable and are calculated on the basis of six-month LIBOR. Interest of $7,373 was included in interest on indebtedness for the six
months ended June 30, 2005. These loans were acquired at the 2005 Acquisition by AerCap Holdings C.V. and are eliminated in consolidation in these consolidated accounts.

The
Previous Shareholder Lenders also participated in our senior credit agreements prior to the B.V. Acquisition. A total of $1,799,950 was outstanding under these credit
agreements at the time of the 2005 Acquisition. The interest rate on the credit facility is variable and is calculated on the basis of LIBOR. Interest on the senior debt of $34,842 is included in
interest on debt for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Wings
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of DASA, who is wholly-owned by one of our Previous Shareholder Lenders. We provide aircraft lease management and remarketing services to Wings for
which we received fees of $685 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, after which Wings is no longer a related party due to the sale of our shares by our Previous Shareholder Lenders.

AerCo
is an aircraft securitization vehicle from which we hold all of the most junior class of subordinated notes and some notes immediately senior to those junior notes. We do not
recognize value for the AerCo notes which we still hold on our consolidated balance sheets. Through March 2003 we consolidated AerCo, but we deconsolidated the vehicle in accordance with FIN 46
at that time. Subsequent to the deconsolidation of AerCo, we have received interest from AerCo on its D note investment of $1,733, $850, $1,700 and $354 for the six months ended June 30, 2005,
the period from June 27, 2005 to December 31, 2005, for the year ended December 31, 2006, and for the year ended December 31, 2007, respectively. In addition, we provide a
variety of management services to AerCo for which we received fees of $2,358,$2,440, $5,208 and $4,793 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, the period from June 27, 2005 to
December 31, 2005, for the year ended December 31, 2006, and for the year ended December 31, 2007, respectively.

22. Related party transactions (Continued)

We
have made payments to Cerberus and third parties on behalf of Cerberus totaling $1,203 since the 2005 Acquisition. The payments to Cerberus represent reimbursement of consulting fees
paid by Cerberus to individuals who have assisted us in the evaluation of portfolio or company purchases, including our acquisition of AeroTurbine. In addition, this amount also includes approximately
$200 of reimbursements for consulting services incurred by Cerberus in connection with Cerberus's evaluation of the 2005 Acquisition. If we accept services from individuals employed by or contracted
through Cerberus in the future, we expect these arrangements to reflect arms' length negotiations that will not be less favorable than the terms we could negotiate with an independent party. Payments
to third parties on behalf of Cerberus consist of payments to advisors engaged by Cerberus in connection with the 2005 Acquisition.

We
lease two A320-200 model aircraft to Air Canada. One lease began on April 23, 2002 and extends for a term of six years. The other lease began on May 29, 2002
and extends for a term of ten years. Cerberus indirectly controls 6.7% of the equity of Air Canada and indirectly controls 45.8% of shares in AerCap Holdings N.V. at December 31, 2007.
Cerberus did not hold such equity interest in Air Canada and AerCap Holdings N.V. at the time we entered into the leases with Air Canada.

In
February 2006, we entered into a guarantee arrangement with DvB Bank AG and Aozora Bank Limited, an entity that is majority-owned by Cerberus. In addition, Pieter Korteweg, the
Chairman of our Board of Directors, and Marius Jacques Leonard Jonkhart, a non-executive director, are also on the board of directors of Aozora Bank. The guarantee supports certain of our
obligations to a Japanese operating lessor of up to $13,800 in connection with a JOL financing. The Japanese operating lessor required the guarantee as additional credit support following the 2005
Acquisition. We leased the A320 aircraft from the Japanese operating lessor under a lease and then subleased the aircraft to an aircraft operator. In the event we fail to make certain payments related
to JOL financing, DvB Bank will make the payment on our behalf but will be reimbursed by Aozora Bank for any payments made. We have agreed to indemnify Aozora Bank for any payments it makes under the
guarantee arrangement. The guarantee expires in March 2010. Under the terms of the guarantee arrangement, we are required to provide cash collateral to Aozora Bank if we breach certain financial
covenants. Currently we are not in breach of any of these covenants and have not provided any cash collateral. In connection with the guarantee arrangement, we pay Aozora Bank a guarantee fee of 4.1%
per annum of the amount guaranteed and have provided Aozora Bank with a second priority share pledge over the shares of the entity that entered into the financing from the Japanese operating lessor.

In
April 2006, we entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility in the aggregate amount of up to $1,000,000 with UBS Real Estate Securities Inc., UBS
Securities Inc., Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas and certain other financial institutions. Aozora Bank is a syndicate member under the facility and participated in up to $50,000 the
Class A loans and up to $25,000 of the Class B loans issued thereunder, representing 7.0% of the Class A loans and 13.9% of the Class B loans. As of December 31,
2007, we had drawn and there remained outstanding $48,824 of the class A loans and $12,294 of the class B loans.

Until
November 2007, our AeroTurbine subsidiary leased their office and warehouse located in Miami, Florida from an entity owned by the current Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Operating Officer of AeroTurbine. In November 2007, the entity sold the office and warehouse to an unrelated third-party. AeroTurbine continues to occupy the premises under a lease which expires in
2013.

In 2004, we entered into leases for six A320 aircraft with WizzAir Hungary Limited. As part of a subsequent restructuring of amounts outstanding, WizzAir agreed
to issue us shares of their equity representing 17.4% of their equity as of November 2004. In 2005, we agreed with WizzAir's other shareholders and creditors to enter into a Shareholders' and
Noteholders' Agreement under which we agreed to convert trade receivables into an unsecured, non-amortizing €7,800 note, convertible into approximately 26% of WizzAir's
outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis as of February 2005. Under the terms of the Shareholders' and Noteholders' Agreement we were able to appoint a director of WizzAir between February 2005 and
June 2005. The convertible notes were carried on our balance sheet at December 31, 2005 at $1,800. We sold all of our WizzAir convertible notes in September 2006.

AerDragon
consists of two joint venture companies Dragon Aviation Leasing Company Limited, or Dragon, based in China and AerDragon Aviation Partners Limited or AerDragon, based in
Ireland. Both companies are owned 50% by China Aviation Supplies Import & Export Group Corporation, 25% by affiliates of Calyon and 25% by AerCap. In 2007, AerCap assigned a purchase right it
had with Airbus under AerCap's 1999 forward order agreement relating to an A320 aircraft which was then directly acquired by AerDragon. In addition, during 2007 AerCap sold an A320 aircraft that was
subject to a lease with an airline to AerDragon and guaranteed the performance of AerDragon under debt which was assumed by AerDragon from AerCap in the transaction. Both of these transactions were
executed at terms, which we believe reflected market conditions at the time. AerCap provides lease management, insurance management and aircraft asset management services to AerDragon. AerCap charged
AerDragon a total of $0.2 million as a guarantee fee and for these management services during 2007. We apply equity accounting for our 25% investment in both joint venture companies.
Accordingly, the income statement effects of all transactions with either of the joint venture companies are eliminated in our financial statements.

Legal proceedings



We leased 13 aircraft and three spare engines to Vicao Aerea de Sao Paulo ("VASP"), a Brazilian airline. In 1992, VASP defaulted on its lease obligations and we
commenced litigation against VASP to repossess its aircraft. In 1992, we obtained a preliminary injunction for the repossession and export of 13 aircraft and three spare engines (the "Repossessed
Assets") from VASP. We repossessed and exported the Repossessed Assets in 1992. VASP appealed this decision.

In
1996, the High Court of the State of São Paulo (the "High Court") found in favor of VASP on its appeal. We were instructed to return the Repossessed Assets to VASP for
the lease under the terms of the original lease agreements between us and VASP. The High Court also granted VASP the right to seek damages in lieu of the return of Repossessed Assets. Since 1996, we
have pursued in this case in the Brazilian courts through various motions and appeals.

On
March 1, 2006, the Superior Court of Justice dismissed our most recent appeal and on April 5, 2006 a special panel of the Superior Court of Justice confirmed the
Superior Court of Justice decision. On May 15, 2006, we appealed this decision to the Federal Supreme Court. On February 23, 2006, VASP commenced a procedure for the calculation of the
award for damages. Our external legal counsel has advised us that even if we lose on the merits, they do not believe that VASP will be able to demonstrate any damages. In October 2006, the English
Courts approved our motion to serve process upon VASP in Brazil.

In
July 2006 we commenced a claim for damages in the English courts against VASP based on the damages we incurred as a result of the default by VASP under seven lease obligations. VASP
was served process in Brazil in October 2007 and in response has filed an application to challenge the
jurisdiction of the English court which we will oppose. VASP have applied to the Court to adjourn the date for the hearing of its application to challenge the jurisdiction of the English Court pending
the sale of some of it's assets in Brazil. We have opposed this application and a hearing for this application was held on March 5, 2008, where VASP's application was dismissed.

We
continue to actively pursue all courses of action that may be available to us and intend to defend our position vigorously and to pursue each of our claims against VASP based on the
damages we incurred as a result of the default by VASP on its lease obligations. Our management, based on the advice of external legal counsel, has determined that it is not necessary to make any
provisions for this litigation.

Swedish tax dispute

In 2001, the Swedish tax authorities challenged our position in tax returns filed for the years 1999 and 2000 with respect to certain deductions. In accordance
with Swedish law, we made a guarantee payment to the tax authority of $16,792 in 2003, which was recorded as a receivable in anticipation that

we
would prevail in our arguments. We appealed the decision of the tax authorities and in August 2004, a Swedish court ruled in our favor, which resulted in a tax refund of $19,887 (which included
interest and the effect of foreign exchange movements for the intervening period) to us, which was offset against the receivable established. In September 2004, the Swedish tax authorities appealed
the decision of the Court and filed an appeal with the Administrative Court of Appeal in Sweden. We have responded to this appeal and have requested an oral hearing on the matter. The Court has
responded that they would schedule an oral hearing, but we have not yet received notice of the timing of such hearing. Management, based on the advice of our tax advisors, has determined that it is
not necessary to make any provisions for this tax dispute.

24. Fair values of financial instruments

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" defines the fair value of a financial
instrument as the amount at which the instrument
could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair values of financial instruments have been determined with reference to available
market information. However, considerable management judgment is required in interpreting market data to arrive at estimates of fair values. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein may not be
indicative of the amounts that we could realize in a current market exchange.

25. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements". SFAS 157 prescribes a single definition of fair value as the price that
would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007 for financial assets and liabilities, as well as for any other assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis

in
financial statements. In November 2007, the FASB issued FSP 157-2, which provided a one year deferral for the implementation of SFAS 157 for other nonfinancial assets and
liabilities. We do not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have a material effect on our financial statements or our results of operations.

In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities".
SFAS 159, which is expected to expand fair value measurement, permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. FAS 159 is effective
for us
beginning in the first quarter of 2008. We do not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS 159 will have a material effect on our financial statements or results of operations.

In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (revised),Business Combinations("SFAS 141(R)"). The standard changes the
accounting for business combinations including the measurement of acquirer shares issued in consideration for a business combination, the recognition of contingent consideration, the accounting for
preacquisition gain and loss contingencies, the recognition of capitalized in-process research and development, the accounting for acquisition-related restructuring cost accruals, the
treatment of acquisition related transaction costs and the recognition of changes in the acquirer's income tax valuation allowance. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. We do not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS 141(R) will have a material effect on our financial statements or results of operations.

In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,"Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements,"(SFAS 160).
SFAS 160 re-characterizes minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries as non-controlling interests and requires the classification of minority interests as a
component of equity. Under SFAS 160, a change in control will be measured at fair value, with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. The effective date for SFAS 160 is for fiscal
periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption and retroactive application of SFAS 160 to years preceding the effective date are not permitted. We are currently
evaluating the impact, if any, of SFAS 160.
