RBS Aviation Capital Discloses Order for 43 Boeing 737-800s

RBS Aviation Capital has disclosed an order for 43 Boeing Next-Generation 737-800s.

Valued at approximately $3.3 billion at average list prices, the RBS orders were posted to Boeing’s Orders and Deliveries website in 2008 and 2009 and attributed to an unidentified customer.

RBS Aviation Capital is leasing the airplanes to its customers through 2015. Last week RBS took delivery of a 737-800 from Boeing, bringing to 125 the number of 737s the leasing company has purchased or financed.

“I am delighted that RBS Aviation Capital is continuing its excellent and long-standing relationships with Boeing,” said Peter Barrett, CEO, RBS Aviation Capital. “The Next-Generation 737 family has been instrumental in helping us create a highly successful global business that has pioneered the strategy of owning and leasing narrowbody, commodity aircraft types that are liquid, investor-friendly and easily tradeable. Our ongoing commitments to Boeing underline that we remain very positive on the outlook for both RBS Aviation Capital and the wider aircraft leasing sector.”

Over the past six years, RBS Aviation Capital has profitably sold 158 commercial aircraft valued at more than $6 billion and its operating lease aircraft portfolio is currently valued at more than $8 billion. The company was founded in 2001 and now has 100 airline customers and 36 investor customers in 38 countries. It is headquartered in Dublin and has offices in London, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai, New York, Toulouse and Seattle.
