heart, at core. We are not a core business to AIG. We are what they call a strategic investment. They are very happy with their investment. We run ILFC in a way that brings the most sustainable value to ILFC to the benefit of its shareholders and its employees and its customers, irrespective of ownership. For example, we placed an order a few weeks back for 100 Airbus A320neos and 33 Boeing 737-800s. Obviously, these are long-term investments. It clearly demonstrates that AIG is letting us do what’s right for ILFC, irrespective of what they might elect to do.

JT: What is your aircraft portfolio strategy with regards to narrowbody versus widebody selections and ratio? HC: We currently own 939 aircraft, with roughly one-third widebody and two-thirds single aisle. There is nothing magic about the one-third/two-thirds split. It could be 75 percent/25 percent or 60/40. For us, what’s relevant is that our size puts us in a position to have a very strong widebody portfolio and that is what differentiates us from most of our competition. This portfolio gives us a tremendous competitive advantage because we have the best order book in the leasing business with 74 787s

on order together with 20 A350s, 100 A320neos and 33 737-800s. Our order book simply consists of the preferred, most fuel-efﬁcient, most modern airplanes available. Everybody agrees the widebodies of the future are going to be 787s and A350s—well, we’re there. The neo is going to be the most fuelefﬁcient airplane in its category—we’re there with a signiﬁcant order. I am quite pleased with our orderbook, but we will remain opportunistic with respect to future potential transactions. Just like the neo launch order. It was only possible because of the hard work that was done over the last year
