Holdings N.V. ("AerCap," NYSE: AER) today announced that it has signed an
agreement with

AerCap's diverse portfolio help us meet the needs of a large number of
operators worldwide who rely on the A330-200 as a successful component to
various airline business models."
Today's announcement brings the number of aircraft for which AerCap has
signed purchase contracts in the last twelve months to a total of 121. This
includes a purchase agreement for 70 new aircraft through a joint venture
announced earlier this year.
