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.
