Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 31, 2022, Air Lease Corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to its existing letter of intent with the Boeing Company (“Boeing”), entered into a supplemental agreement (the “Supplemental Agreement”) to its existing purchase agreement with Boeing to purchase 32 aircraft, including 23 737-8s and nine 737-9s. Deliveries of the aircraft are scheduled to commence in 2025 and continue through 2026. Giving effect to the Company’s conversion of three Boeing 787 aircraft to 18 737 MAX aircraft in February 2022, the purchase commitments under the Supplemental Agreement and the Company’s existing orders, as of December 31, 2021, the Company would have had an estimated aggregate commitment of $29.5 billion in total purchase commitments for new aircraft from Airbus S.A.S. and Boeing.

A copy of the Supplemental Agreement will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2022.
