World's Largest Aircraft Leasing Company grows its
staff by 100
AerCap announces new positions
across various disciplines as first Airbus A350 touches down in
Ireland
THE Minister for Jobs, Enterprise
and Innovation today announced that AerCap, a global leader in
aviation leasing with operations in Dublin and Shannon, has created
over 100 new highly skilled jobs in Ireland. These are
high end roles created across various disciplines including Sales
and Marketing, Aircraft Technical, Legal, Contracts Management,
Finance and Treasury.
The investment is supported by the
Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation through IDA
Ireland.
AerCap is the global leader in
aircraft leasing with 1,300 owned and managed aircraft in its
current fleet and a highly attractive portfolio of 470 high-demand,
fuel-efficient aircraft on order. Its aircraft are leased to
200 customers in 90 countries. The new Airbus A350 XWB, which
has been flown into Dublin from Toulouse for today's event, will
form part of AerCap's core fleet in the coming years and provide a
platform for growth and shareholder enrichment.
Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and
Innovation Richard Bruton TD said: "Aircraft leasing is a key
sector which we have targeted as part of our Action Plan for Jobs,
and in recent years we have seen a strong jobs performance in this
area. We have put in place measures to support continued growth in
this area, including the appointment of Simon Harris as a strong
Minister of State with specific responsibility in this area, and
through his strategy for financial services are targeting further
growth in this area. Today's announcement that AerCap, a
world-leading company in this area, is creating 100 additional jobs
in this area is another great boost for this sector".
Aengus Kelly, CEO at AerCap
said: We are pleased with the investment we have made in
Ireland which now includes our commercial centre in Dublin.
Over the past year we have created over 100 new highly skilled jobs
and intend to continue growing our operations in Dublin and
Shannon. Through our people, suppliers and providers of technical
support we contribute over $100 million to the Irish economy each
year. The A350 XWB is one of the most technologically
advanced commercial aircraft in the world today and strategically
important to our long term success.
Minister for Transport Paschal
Donohoe TD said: "As Ireland's position as a base for aviation
services continues to strengthen, we are seeing companies such as
AerCap further develop and grow. This increasingly cements
Ireland's position as a global leader in aviation, particularly
where aircraft leasing is concerned. The delivery of such high end
jobs is really good news for us and the Government is committed to
restoring the country to full employment by 2018 and ensuring that
all aspects of the economy perform to the best of its ability. I am
delighted that such a prestigious company as AerCap expresses such
confidence in Ireland through the continued expansion of its
operations here. II wish them the very best of luck for the years
ahead."
Martin Shanahan, CEO at IDA
Ireland said: "Ireland has successfully developed itself as a hub
for aviation finance worldwide with 50% of the world's fleet of
leased aircraft now being managed by lessors based here. The
aviation leasing industry continues to find the right combination
of skills for their business here in Ireland. Seeing the A350 XWB
here in Dublin today gives us a sense of the sheer scale of the
business that AerCap manage from their offices in Dublin and
Shannon.
