DUBLIN, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AerCap Holdings N.V. ("AerCap" or the "Company") (NYSE: AER) today announced the publication of its Corporate Responsibility Report 2025, for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The report sets out in detail AerCap's commitment to growing its business in a responsible and sustainable manner and includes a range of environmental, social and governance disclosures. The Corporate Responsibility Report is produced with reference to the Global Reporting Initiative ("GRI") Standards. The report is available to view here or on the Corporate Responsibility Reporting section of the Company's website.

Key highlights of the report include:

• In 2025, AerCap completed the purchase of 71 fuel-efficient aircraft and sold 108 aircraft with an average age of 15 years, directly reducing its airline customers' emissions intensity by approximately 2%, measured in gCO₂ per Available Seat Kilometers (gCO₂/ASKs). This builds on an 18% emissions-intensity reduction achieved across the fleet over the past decade.
• Since 2015, AerCap has invested over $60 billion in new technology assets, supporting lower operating costs and reduced carbon emissions across its customer base.
• In September 2025, Morningstar Sustainalytics upgraded AerCap's ESG rating and recognized the Company as a 2026 Industry ESG Leader - an important independent endorsement of the strength and credibility of AerCap's sustainability strategy.
• As the launch customer for the Airbus SAF Book & Claim initiative, AerCap completed its first transaction in December 2025.
• In 2025, AerCap and its employees donated over $1.2 million to charitable and social causes and partnerships.
