AELF Acquires Two 737-800s From ICBC
CHICAGO, December 16, 2025 – Aircraft Engine Lease Finance Inc. (“AELF”) has acquired two 2015 vintage 737-800 aircraft from ICBC Aviation Leasing (“ICBC”) on lease to Aerolineas Argentinas.
“We are very pleased to complete our first transaction with ICBC and our thanks to their team throughout. With a focus on mid-life aircraft, AELF’s business model is very complementary to that of ICBC and other Chinese counterparties seeking to trade or phase out aircraft,” said Stephen Haire, Vice President, Commercial at AELF. “We look forward to additional opportunities with ICBC and expanding our business in the region.”
These are AELF’s first aircraft on lease to Aerolineas Argentinas. The company is actively expanding its relationships with capital providers as it grows its fleet of assets on lease to airlines around the world.
