GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS) is an Irish-American commercial aircraft financing and leasing company. It is the largest commercial airline leasing/financing company in the world. It is part of GE Capital, a company of the large conglomerate General Electric. GECAS buys aircraft from manufacturers like Airbus and Boeing and then leases them to airlines, typically on eight year leases, usually on dry lease contracts. It also buys aircraft from airlines and leases them back. The company has three global headquarters, located in Singapore, Shannon, Ireland and Norwalk, CT. The primary competition for GECAS is AerCap, although other companies such as Air Lease Corporation, Aviation Capital Group, BBAM and SMBC Aviation Capital also compete with it. GECAS has a fleet of over 1800 aircraft, used by 245 airlines.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2010-07-21 )〕 Nearly all aircraft owned by GECAS are powered by engines from either GE Aviation, another subsidiary of General Electric, or CFM International, a GE Aviation/Snecma joint venture. ==History== GECAS was formed in 1993 to manage the assets bought from the Irish-based Guinness Peat Aviation. The company GE Capital Aviation Services Limited was based in Ireland and originally staffed by former GPA employees. GE Capital also incorporated the California-based Polaris Aircraft Leasing into the group.〔(GECAS - Twenty Years at the Top )〕 GECAS also owns a minority stake in Oxford Aviation Academy retained when they sold 80% (before dilution) of GECAT to STAR Capital Partners in 2007. In 2015, GECAS took over the Irish-based Milestone Aviation to add helicopters to its leasing portfolio.〔("Gecas Moves Into Helicopter Leasing with Milestone Takeover" ).〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「GE Capital Aviation Services」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
