How did AerCap get to be so good

AerCap Holding N.V., which is more commonly referred to as simply AerCap, is today the world’s largest aircraft leasing company and has total assets worth nearly $70 billion. The Irish-American, Dublin-based corporation achieved this title following the 2014 acquisition of the International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC) and the 2021 purchase of General Electric Capital Aviation Services (GECAS) from the manufacturer.
