Statement on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-8</FONT> (File <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">No.&nbsp;333-195775)</FONT> on May&nbsp;7, 2014 (the &#147;2014 Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-8&#148;)</FONT> with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;) to register the offer of 6,717,262 shares of the Company&#146;s Class&nbsp;A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the &#147;Common Stock&#148;), pursuant to the 2014 Air Lease Corporation Equity
Incentive Plan (the &#147;2014 Plan&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On March&nbsp;8, 2023, the Company&#146;s Board of Directors approved the 2023 Air Lease Corporation Equity
Incentive Plan (the &#147;2023 Plan&#148;), subject to stockholder approval of the 2023 Plan. The Company&#146;s stockholders approved the 2023 Plan at the Company&#146;s annual meeting of stockholders held on May&nbsp;3, 2023 (the &#147;2023 Annual
Meeting&#148;). Upon stockholder approval of the 2023 Plan, the Company&#146;s authority to grant new awards under the 2014 Plan terminated, and a total of 4,054,904 shares of Common Stock that had been available for new award grants under the 2014
Plan immediately prior to the 2023 Annual Meeting became available for award grants under the 2023 Plan (the &#147;Unused Shares&#148;). As provided in the 2023 Plan, any awards outstanding under the 2014 Plan on the date of the 2023 Annual Meeting
that subsequently expire, terminate, or are surrendered or forfeited for any reason without issuance of shares of Common Stock will automatically become available for issuance under the 2023 Plan (the &#147;Recycled Shares&#148; and together with
the Unused Shares, the &#147;Transferred Shares&#148;). As of the date of the 2023 Annual Meeting, a total of 1,642,691 shares of Common Stock were subject to awards then outstanding under the 2014 Plan. </P>

Disclosure Interpretation 126.43 to amend the 2014 Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-8</FONT> to register the offer of the Transferred Shares under the 2023 Plan (as such Transferred Shares would no longer be issuable under the 2014 Plan as
described above). As of the date of filing of this Post-Effective Amendment No.&nbsp;1, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock initially registered for offer pursuant to the 2014 Plan that may become Transferred Shares available for offer
under the 2023 Plan is 5,697,595 shares (which is the sum of the (i) 4,054,904 Unused Shares, the number of shares available for new award grants under the 2014 Plan immediately prior to the 2023 Annual Meeting, and (ii) 1,642,691 Recycled Shares,
the number of shares that are subject to awards that remain outstanding under the 2014 Plan but may become Transferred Shares in the future). No additional securities are being registered by this Post-Effective Amendment. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to our restated certificate of incorporation and fourth amended and restated bylaws. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (&#147;DGCL&#148;) allows a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a
director of the corporation will not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached the duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith,
engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our restated certificate of incorporation provides for this limitation of liability. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;145(a) of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) against expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;145(b) further provides that a corporation similarly may indemnify any such person serving in any such capacity who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees)
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation
and except that no indemnification will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court
in which such action or suit was brought will determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses
which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court deems proper. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our fourth amended and restated bylaws provide for the indemnification of officers
and directors of the Company consistent with Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The indemnification rights set forth above are not exclusive of any other
right which an indemnified person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of our restated certificate of incorporation, our fourth amended and restated bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or directors or otherwise. We also
entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and certain executive officers that generally provide for mandatory indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Delaware law also provides that a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent
of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other entity, against any liability asserted against and incurred by such person, whether or not the
corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability. We maintain, at our expense, an insurance policy that insures its officers and directors, subject to customary exclusions and deductions, against specified liabilities
that may be incurred in those capacities. </P>

indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </P>
