AerCap Holdings N.V. (“AerCap” or the “Company”) (NYSE:AER) has
today announced that it has taken delivery of its first 737 MAX 8.

order book with Boeing.

airline the first operator of the aircraft type in China. In 2016,
AerCap delivered the first Pratt & Whitney powered A320neo into
China, to China Southern Airlines.
“We are very pleased to deliver our first ever 737 MAX to our
largest customer in Asia Pacific, China Southern, with whom we’ve
had a relationship for 23 years,” said Aengus Kelly, Chief
Executive Officer, AerCap, “We wish China Southern every success
with their ongoing fleet modernization program.”
“We are delighted to deliver the first of many 737 MAXs to
AerCap, one of the world’s leading lessors. The AerCap team has a
great pulse on what top airlines like China Southern prefer to fly
and we are honored that they have chosen the best-in-class 737
MAX,” said Ihssane Mounir, Senior Vice President of Commercial
Sales & Marketing at The Boeing Company. “We are confident that
AerCap and its customers will benefit from the 737 MAX’s superior
fuel efficiency, range, reliability, and residual value, to name a
few.”
