Other Events
In response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, the European Union, the United States and other countries have imposed a broad set of sanctions against Russia, certain Russian entities and certain
activities involving Russia or Russian entities. These sanctions include prohibitions regarding the supply of aircraft and aircraft components to Russian entities or for use in Russia, subject to certain wind-down periods. AerCap intends to
fully comply with all applicable sanctions, which will require us to cease our leasing activity with Russian airlines.
As of December 31, 2021, approximately 5% of AerCap’s fleet by net book value was on lease to Russian airlines.
Please refer to the Risk Factors included in our Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020, including “Risks related to the geopolitical, regulatory and legal exposure of our business–The international
operations of our business and those of our lessees expose us to geopolitical, economic and legal risks associated with a global business, including many of the economic and political risks associated with emerging markets” and “Risks related to
our relationship with our lessees–If our lessees fail to cooperate in returning our aircraft following lease terminations, we may encounter obstacles and are likely to incur significant costs and expenses conducting repossessions.”
