AEROLÍNEAS ARGENTINAS AGREES TO LEA A330-200S FROM ILFC

International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC), a wholly owned

subsidiary of American International Group, Inc. (NYSE: AIG), announced it has signed an

agreement to add four A330-200 widebody aircraft to the Aerolíneas Argentinas (Aerolíneas)

fleet this year.



“ILFC is honored to work with Aerolíneas to help support the airline’s strategic initiatives to grow

its fleet and increase the network of long-range services throughout the region,” commented

ILFC Chief Executive Officer Henri Courpron. “We are delighted to introduce the A330-200

aircraft to the Aerolineas fleet. This transaction highlights ILFC’s unique ability to provide a

comprehensive, tailored fleet solution that meets our customer’s specific requirements.”



“For the last four years and under the Argentine State managed turnaround, Aerolineas

Argentinas has been committed to a solid business plan. Our widebody fleet has been

modernized and simplified to serve a very challenging geographical network. On the process

towards newer generation solutions, the introduction of four A330-200 from very prestigious and

long standing partner ILFC represent a new step in the right direction,” said Sergio Garcia

Gomez, VP Fleet Planning. “These modern Airbus aircraft will provide the latest in technologies

and offer our passengers new levels of comfort and entertainment options while onboard.”



The four previously operated aircraft will be completely modernized with new cabin interiors

including state-of-the-art Inflight Entertainment options available in every seat. Deliveries of the

aircraft are scheduled to take place later this year.
