About

AerCap has over 1,500 aircraft owned, managed or on order as of June 2017, making it the largest independent aircraft-leasing company in the world. The company is headquartered in Dublin, listed on the New York stock exchange and has a significant presence in Singapore and the Netherlands also. Vincent Drouillard is head of legal leasing, and given the immense and growing AerCap order book takes on a high level of responsibility. He is an expert in aviation and aircraft leasing legal matters, having been involved in the industry since 2003 after a three year stint as an associate with Gibson Dunn & Crutcher. He spent over a decade with International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC) from here, eventually progressing to the rank of vice president and head of legal affairs for EMEA until ILFC merged with AerCap in 2014 to form the company’s current enormous operation. Given AerCap’s ambitious growth plans spurred on by increasing numbers of airline passengers globally, Drouillard is looking at an active upcoming period. As such, the leasing legal team is looking to add new, top-level legal talent to its ranks in order to support the company’s ambitions.
