The International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC) is an aircraft lessor headquartered in Century City, Los Angeles, California.[1]
It is the world's largest aircraft lessor by value, though ILFC's rival, General Electric's GECAS unit, has more aircraft. It leases Boeing and Airbus aircraft to major airlines worldwide, including AeroMexico, Air Canada, Asiana Airlines, Korean Air, Cathay Pacific, Cyprus Airways, Air France-KLM, Lufthansa, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Air India, Continental Airlines, Norwegian Air Shuttle, Mexicana, Pakistan International Airlines, Emirates Airline, Gulf Air and most recently, Delta Air Lines.
Father and son team Leslie Gonda and Louis L. Gonda founded ILFC in 1973 along with Steven F. Udvar-Hazy. The company was acquired by international insurance giant AIG in 1990, although the unit was still run by Udvar-Hazy until he retired in February 2010; he was succeeded by vice-chairman Alan Lund. Henri Courpron, a former Airbus executive, was appointed as president and CEO of ILFC in May 2010.
On September 2, 2011, AIG filed with the SEC to spin off ILFC in an initial public offering.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
