Subsequent Events [Abstract] |
Subsequent Events | 32. Subsequent events In February 2016, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing total repurchases of up to $400 million of AerCap ordinary shares through June 30, 2016. Repurchases under the program may be made through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable U.S. federal securities laws. The timing of repurchases and the exact number of common share s to be purchased will be determined by the Company's management and Board of Directors, in its discretion, and will depend upon market conditions and other factors. The program will be funded using the Company's cash on hand and cash generated from operations. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
