General [Abstract]
General	1. General The Company We are an independent aircraft leasing company with total assets of $ 43.9 billion , primarily consisting of 1,109 owned aircraft as of December 31, 2015 . Our ordinary shares are listed on the New Y ork Stock Exchange (AER) and as of December 31, 2015, our headquarters were located in Amsterdam . Pursuant to our recent migration from the Netherlands to Ireland, we moved our headquarters and executive officers from Amsterdam to Dublin, effective as of February 1, 2016. We continue to have offices in Amsterdam, Los Angeles, Shannon, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Singapore, Shanghai and Abu Dhabi. We also have representation offices at the world’s largest aircraft manufacturers, Boeing in Seattle and Airbus in Toulouse. These Consolidated Financial S tatements presented herein include the accounts of AerCap Holdings N.V. and its subsidiaries. AerCap Holdings N.V. is a public limited liability company (“ naamloze vennootschap” or “N.V. ”) incorporated in the Netherlands on July 10, 2006 . ILFC T ransaction On May 14, 2014, we successfully completed the ILFC Transaction, as further described in Note 4 - ILFC Transaction . AIG offering and the Share Repurchase On June 9, 2015, AIG sold 71,184,686 of its AerCap ordinary shares in a secondary public offering and AerCap completed the Share Repurchase of 15,698,588 ordinary shares. On August 24, 2015, AIG sold 10,677,702 of its AerCap ordinary shares in a secondary public offering. Following this sale, AIG no longer owns any of our outstanding ordinary shares or has any designees on our Board of Directors. GFL T ransaction On April 22, 2014, we completed the sale of 100% of the class A common shares in Genesis Funding Limited to GFL Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Wood Creek Capital Management, LLC. GFL had 37 aircraft in its portfolio with a net book value of $727 million. Guggenheim t ransaction On June 27, 2013, we completed a transaction under which we sold eight Boeing 737-800 aircraft to ACSAL, an affiliate of Guggenheim, in exchange for cash , and we made a capital contribution to ACSAL in exchange for 19% of its equity. The aircraft are subject to long term leases to American Airlines. We continue to service the Boeing 737-800 portfolio. Based on ASC 840 we concluded that we did not retain a substantial risk of ownership and therefore the assets were deconsolidated and a $10.5 million gain on sale was recognized. LATAM t ransaction On May 28, 2013, we entered into a $2.6 billion purchase and leaseback agreem ent with LATAM for 25 widebody aircraft, comprising 15 new aircraft with deliveries scheduled between 2014 and 2018, and ten Airbus A330 aircraft from LATAM’s existing fleet, which were purchased and leased back in June 2013. In accordance with ASC 805-50, we allocated the portfolio purchase price of $2.6 billion to the individual aircraft acquired based on their relative fair values. As part of the transaction, we made payments of $659 million in June 2013, allocated $577 million to flight equipment held for operating leases relating to the ten aircraft delivered, and accounted for the other $82 million as prepayments on flight equipment for the remaining 15 aircraft to be delivered. As of December 31, 2015 , 13 aircraft remain to be delivered.

Basis Of Presentation [Abstract]
Basis Of Presentation	2. Basis of presentation General Our Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We consolidate all companies in which we have a direct and indirect legal or effective control and all VIEs for which we are deemed the PB and have control under ASC 810. All intercompany balances and transactions with consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. The results of consolidated entities are included from the effective date of control or, in the case of VIEs, from the date that we are or become the PB. The results of subsidiaries sold or otherwise deconsolidated are excluded from the date that we cease to control the subsidiary or, in the case of VIEs, when we cease to be the PB. Other investments in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence and joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Consolidated Financial Statements are stated in U.S. dollars, which is our functional currency. Use of estimates The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period . For us, the use of estimates is or could be a significant factor affecting acquisition accounting in a business combination, the reported carrying values of flight equipment, intangibles, investments, trade and notes receivable s , deferred income tax assets and accruals and reserves. Management considers information available from professional appraisers, where possible, to support estimates, particularly with respect to flight equipment. Actual results may differ from our estimates under different conditions, sometimes materially. In the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, we changed our estimates of useful lives and residual values of certain aircraft. The changes in estimates are a result of the current market conditions that have negatively affected the useful lives and residual values for such aircraft. T he effect for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 was to reduce net income by $35.8 million, $4.4 million and $8.0 million, or $0.18 basic earnings per share and $0.17 diluted earnings per share, $0.02 basic and diluted earnings per share, and $0.07 basic and diluted earnings per share, respectively. Prior period comparative information Our Consolidated Income Statement for the year ended December 31, 2014 includes a reclassification, as compared to the financial statements contained in our 2014 annual report on Form 20-F, of $48.7 million to reduce lease revenue and leasing expenses. Commencing in the second quarter of 2015, for MR contracts, the release of maintenance rights intangible and accrued maintenance liability at lease termination are presented on a net basis in our Consolidated Income Statement. Previously, these amounts were presented on a gross basis. There were no changes to our Consolidated Balance Sheets, net income or total equity as a result of this reclassification in the period. Our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 include a reclassification, as compared to the financial statements contained in our 2014 annual report on Form 20-F, of $17.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively, to reduce investing cash flows related to the collection for finance and sales-type leases and increase net cash provided by operating activities for the interest income received associated with the collections for finance and sales-type leases. There were no changes to our Consolidated Balance Sheets, net income or total equity as a result of this reclassification in the periods. Out of period adjustment Our Consolidated Income Statement for the year ended December 31, 2015 includes an out of period adjustment of $16.9 million which decreased net income by $14.4 million , net of tax , or $0.07 basic and diluted earnings per share. This adjustment corrects the capitalized interest on prepayments on flight equipment during the year ended December 31, 2014 . Management has determined, after evaluating the quantitative and qualitative aspects of this out of period adjustment, that our current and prior period financial statements taken as a whole are not materially misstated.

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies	3 . Summary of significant accounting policies Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Restricted cash Restricted cash includes cash held by banks that is subject to withdrawal restrictions. Such amounts are typically restricted under secured debt agreements and can be used only to service the aircraft securing the debt and to make principal and interest payments on the debt. Trade receivables Trade receivables represent unpaid, current lessee obligations under existing lease contracts or receivables relating to inventory sales . An allowance for credit losses on trade receivables is established when the risk of non-recovery is probable. The risk of non-recovery is primarily based on the extent to which amounts outstanding exceed the value of security held, together with an assessment of the financial strength and condition of a debtor and the economic conditions persisting in the debtor’s operating environment. Flight equipment held for operating leases, net Flight equipment held for operating leases is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Flight equipment is depreciated to its estimated residual value using the straight-line method over the useful life of the aircraft, generally 25 years from the date of manufacture, or a different period depending on the disposition strategy. The costs of improvements to flight equipment are normally expensed unless the improvement increases the long-ter m value or extends the useful life of the flight equipment. The capitalized cost is depreciated over the estimated remaining useful life of the aircraft. The residual value of our aircraft i s generally 15% of industry standard price, except where more recent industry information indicates a different value is appropriate. We periodically review the estimated useful lives and residual values of our aircraft based on our knowledge and external factors coupled with market conditions to determine if they are appropriate, and record adjustments to depreciation prospectively on an aircraft by aircraft basis as necessary. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate the need to perform recoverability assessments of our long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability includes an assessment of the estimated future cash flows associated with the use of an asset and its eventual disposal. The assets are grouped at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of other groups of assets, which includes the individual aircraft and the lease-related assets and liabilities of that aircraft (the “Asset Group”) . If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the aggregate net book value of the Asset Group , an impairment loss is recognized. The loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the impaired Asset Group over its fair value. Fair value reflects the present value of cash expected to be generated from the aircraft in the future, including its expected residual value, discounted at a rate commensurate with the associated risk. Future cash flows are assumed to occur under then current market conditions and assume adequate time for a sale between a willing buyer and a willing seller. Expected future lease rates are based on all relevant information available, including current contracted rates for similar aircraft, appraisal data and industry trends. Annually, we perform an impairment assessment for all of our aircraft, including a review of the undiscounted cash flows for aircraft 15 years of age or older, as the cash flows supporting the carrying value of such older aircraft are more dependent upon current lease contracts, and these leases are more sensitive to weaknesses in the global economic environment. Deterioration of the global economic environment and a decrease of aircraft values might have a negative effect on the undiscounted cash flows of older aircraft and might trigger impairments. Capitalization of interest We capitalize interest on prepayments on flight equipment in respect of flight equipment on forward order and add such amount to prepayments on flight equipment. The amount of interest capitalized is the actual interest costs incurred on funding specific to the prepayments, if any, or the amount of interest costs which could have been avoided in the absence of such prepayments. Net investment in finance and sales-type leases If a lease meets specific criteria under U.S. GAAP, we recognize the lease in net investment in finance and sales-type leases in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and de-recognize the aircraft from flight equipment held for operating leases. For sales-type leases, we recognize the difference between the aircraft carrying value and the amount recognized in net investment in finance and sales-type leases as a gain on sale of assets or an impairment. The amounts recognized for finance and sales-type leases consist of lease receivables and the estimated unguaranteed residual value of the leased flight equipment on the lease termination date, less the unearned income. Expected unguaranteed residual values of leased flight equipment are based on our assessment of the values of the leased flight equipment at expiration of the lease. The unearned income is recognized in lease revenue in our Consolidated Income Statements over the lease term, in a manner that produces a constant rate of return on the lease. Definite-lived intangible assets We recognize intangible assets acquired in a business combination at fair value on the date of acquisition. The rate of amortization of definite ‑lived intangible assets is calculated based on the period over which we expect to derive economic benefits from such assets. Maintenance rights intangible and lease premium, net The maintenance rights intangible asset represents the contractual right under our leases acquired as part of the ILFC Transaction to receive the aircraft in a specified maintenance condition at the end of the lease (EOL contracts) or our right to receive an aircraft in better maintenance condition due to our obligation to contribute towards the cost of the maintenance events performed by the lessee either through reimbursement of maintenance deposit rents held (MR contracts), or through a lessor contribution to the lessee. For EOL contracts, to the extent the lease end cash compensation paid to us is less than the maintenance rights intangible asset, we recognize maintenance rights expense upon lease termination. Maintenance rights expense is included in leasing expenses in our Consolidated Income Statements. To the extent the lease end cash compensation paid to us is more than the maintenance rights intangible asset, we recognize lease revenue in our Consolidated Income Statements, upon lease termination. For MR contracts, we recognize maintenance rights expense at the time the lessee submits a reimbursement claim and provides the required documentation related to the cost of a qualifying maintenance event that relates to pre-acquisition usage. The lease premium represents the value of an acquired lease where the contractual rent payments are above the market rate. We amortize the lease premium on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease as a reduction of lease revenue in our Consolidated Income Statements. Other definite-lived intangible assets Other definite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of customer relationships recorded at fair value as a result of the ILFC Transaction. These definite ‑lived intangible assets are amortized over the period which we expect to derive economic benefits from such assets. The amortization expense is recorded in depreciation and amortization in our Consolidated Income Statements. We evaluate all definite ‑lived intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. Other assets Other assets consist of inventory, notes receivables, investments, derivative financial instruments, lease incentives, other tangible fixed assets, prepaid expenses, debt issuance costs, and other receivables. Inventory Inventory consists primarily of engine and airframe parts and rotable and consumable parts we sell through our subsidiary AeroTurbine. We value our inventory at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is primarily determined using the specific identification method for individual part purchases and on an allocated basis for engines and aircraft purchased for disassembly and for bulk purchases. Costs are allocated using the relationship of the cost of the engine, aircraft, or bulk inventory purchase to the estimated retail sales value at the time of purchase. At the time of sale this ratio is applied to the sales price of each individual part to determine its cost. We periodically evaluate this ratio and, if necessary, update sales estimates and make adjustments to this ratio. Generally, inventory that is held for more than four years is considered excess inventory and its carrying value is reduced to zero . Notes receivables Notes receivables represent amounts advanced in the normal course of our operations and also arise from the restructuring and deferral of trade receivables from lessees experiencing financial difficulties. An allowance for credit losses on notes receivables is established when the risk of non ‑recovery is probable. The assessment of the risk of non ‑recovery where lessees are experiencing financial difficulties is primarily based on the extent to which amounts outstanding exceed the value of security held, together with an assessment of the financial strength and condition of the debtor and the economic conditions persisting in the debtor’s operating environment. The note receivable as a result of the ALS Transaction was recorded at fair value and is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the retrospective effective interest method. Investments Investments over which we have significant influence but not a controlling interest, joint ventures or VIEs for which we are not the PB are reported using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, we include our share of earnings and losses of such investments in equity in net earnings (losses) of investments accounted for under the equity method. Derivative financial instruments We use derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to interest rate risks and foreign currency risks. We recognize derivatives in our Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. When cash flow hedge accounting treatment is applied, the changes in fair values related to the effective portion of the derivatives are recorded in AOCI, and the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in interest expense. Amounts reflected in AOCI related to the effective portion are reclassified into interest expense in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects interest expense. We discontinue hedge accounting prospectively when (i) we determine that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item; (ii) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised; or (iii) management determines that designating the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate. In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, we recognize the changes in the fair value in current-period earnings. The remaining balance in AOCI at the time we discontinue hedge accounting is not recognized in our Consolidated Income Statements unless it is probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur. Such amounts are recognized in interest expense when the hedged transaction affects interest expense. When cash flow hedge accounting treatment is not applied, the changes in fair values related to interest derivatives between periods are recognized in interest expense and changes in fair value relating to currency derivatives are recognized as a reduction or increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Income Statements. Net cash received or paid under derivative contracts in any reporting period is classified as operating cash flows in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Lease incentives We capitalize amounts paid or value provided to lessees as lease incentives. We amortize lease incentives on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease as a reduction in lease revenue in our Consolidated Income Statements. Other tangible fixed assets Other tangible fixed assets consist primarily of computer equipment, leasehold improvements and office furniture, and are valued at acquisition cost and depreciated at various rates over the asset’s estimated useful life using the straight-line method. Depreciation expense on other tangible fixed assets is recorded in depreciation and amortization in our Consolidated Income Statements. Fair value measurements Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We measure the fair value of our derivatives on a recurring basis and measure the fair value of flight equipment and definite-lived intangible assets on a non-recurring basis. See Note 30 — Fair value measurements . Income taxes We recognize an uncertain tax benefit only to the extent that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities We report deferred income taxes resulting from the temporary differences between the book values and the tax values of assets and liabilities using the liability method. The differences are calculated at nominal value using the enacted tax rate applicable at the time the temporary difference is expected to reverse. Deferred income tax assets attributable to unutilized losses carried forward or other timing differences are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that such losses will not be utilized to offset future taxable income. Guarantees As a result of the ILFC Transaction, we have contracts that guarantee the residual values of aircraft owned by third parties. We also entered into an agreement to guarantee the future re-lease or extension rates and other cost of four aircraft. When it becomes probable that we will be required to perform under a guarantee, we accrue a liability based on an estimate of the loss we will incur to perform under the guarantee. The estimate of the loss is generally measured as the amount by which the contractual guaranteed value exceeds the fair market value or future lease cash flows of the underlying aircraft. Accrued maintenance liability Under our aircraft leases, the lessee is responsible for maintenance and repairs and other operating expenses related to our flight equipment during the term of the lease. In certain instances, such as when an aircraft is not subject to a lease, we may incur maintenance and repair expenses for our aircraft. Maintenance and repair expenses are recorded in leasing expenses in our Consolidated Income Statements, to the extent such expenses are incurred by us. We may be obligated to make additional payments to the lessee for maintenance related expenses, primarily related to usage of major life-limited components existing at the inception of the lease (“lessor maintenance contributions”). For all lease contracts, we expense planned major maintenance activities, such as lessor maintenance contributions, when incurred. The charge is recorded in leasing expenses in our Consolidated Income Statements. In the case we have established an accrual as an assumed liability for such payment in connection with the purchase of an aircraft with a lease attached, such payments are charged against the existing accrual. For all contracts acquired as part of the ILFC Transaction, we determined the fair value of our maintenance liability, including lessor maintenance contributions, using the present value of the expected cash outflows. The discounted amounts are accreted in subsequent periods to their respective nominal values up until the expected maintenance event dates using the effective interest method. The accretion is recorded as an increase in interest expense in our Consolidated Income Statements. Debt and deferred debt issuance costs Long ‑term debt is carried at the principal amount borrowed, including unamortized discounts and premiums and fair value adjustments, where applicable. The fair value adjustments reflect the application of the acquisition method of accounting to the debt assumed as part of the ILFC Transaction. We amortize the amount of discount or premium and fair value adjustments over the period the debt is outstanding using the effective interest method. The costs we incur for issuing debt are capitalized and amortized as an increase to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method. The coupon liability as a result of the ALS Transaction was recorded at fair value and is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the retrospective effective interest method. Lessee security deposits For all lessee deposits assumed as part of the ILFC Transaction, we discounted our lessee security deposits to their respective present values. We accrete these discounted amounts to their respective nominal values, over the period we expect to refund the security deposits to each lessee, using the effective interest method, recognizing an increase in interest expense. Revenue recognition We lease flight equipment principally under operating leases and recognize rental income on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. At lease inception, we review all necessary criteria to determine proper lease classification. We account for lease agreements that include uneven rental payments on a straight-line basis. The difference between rental revenue recognized and cash received is included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets in other assets, or in the event it is a liability, in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities. In certain cases, leases provide for rentals contingent on usage. The usage may be calculated based on hourly usage or on the number of cycles operated, depending on the lease contract. Revenue contingent on usage is recognized at the time the lessee reports the usage to us. Lease agreements for which base rent is based on floating interest rates are included in minimum lease payments based on the floating interest rate existing at the inception of the lease; any increases or decreases in lease payments that result from subsequent changes in the floating interest rate are contingent rentals and are recorded as increases or decreases in lease revenue in the period of the interest rate change. Our lease contracts normally include default covenants, which generally obligate the lessee to pay us damages to put us in the position we would have been in had the lessee performed under the lease in full. There are no additional payments required which would increase the minimum lease payments. We cease revenue recognition on a lease contract when the collectability of such rentals is no longer reasonably assured. For past-due rentals that exceed related security deposits held, which have been recognized as revenue, we establish provisions on the basis of management’s assessment of collectability. Such provisions are recorded in leasing expenses in our Consolidated Income Statements. Revenues from net investment in finance and sales-type leases are included in lease revenue in our Consolidated Income Statements and are recognized using the interest method to produce a constant yield over the life of the lease. Most of our lease contracts require payment in advance. Rentals received but unearned under these lease agreements are recorded as deferred revenue in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Under our aircraft leases, the lessee is responsible for maintenance, repairs and other operating expenses related to our flight equipment during the term of the lease. Under the provisions of many of our leases, the lessee is required to make payments of supplemental maintenance rents which are calculated with reference to the utilization of the airframe, engines and other major life-limited components during the lease. We record as lease revenue all supplemental maintenance rent receipts not expected to be reimbursed to lessees. We estimate the total amount of maintenance reimbursements for the entire lease and only record revenue after we have received enough maintenance rents under a particular lease to cover the total amount of estimated maintenance reimbursements during the remaining lease term. In most lease contracts not requiring the payment of supplemental maintenance rents, and to the extent that the aircraft is redelivered in a different condition than at acceptance, we generally receive EOL cash compensation for the difference at redelivery. We recognize receipts of EOL cash compensation as lease revenue when received to the extent those receipts exceed the EOL contract maintenance rights intangible asset, and we recognize leasing expenses when the EOL contract maintenance rights intangible asset exceeds the EOL cash receipts . Accrued maintenance liability existing at the end of a lease is released and recognized as lease revenue at lease termination to the extent that the maintenance liability exceeds the MR contract maintenance rights intangible asset. If the maintenance liability does not exceed the MR contract maintenance rights intangible asset, we recognize the difference as a leasing expense. When flight equipment is sold, the portion of the accrued maintenance liability which is not specifically assigned to the buyer is released from our Consolidated Balance S heet s , net of any maintenance rights intangible asset balance, and recognized as part of the sale of the flight equipment as gain or loss in net gain on sale of assets in our Consolidated Income Statements. Net gain or loss on sale of assets originates primarily from the sale of aircraft and engines. The sale is recognized when the relevant asset is delivered, the risk of loss has transferred to the buyer, and we no longer have significant ownership risk in the asset sold. Other income consists of interest income, management fees, lease termination penalties, inventory part sales and net gain on sale of equity interest in investments accounted for under the equity method. Income from secured loans, notes receivables and other interest bearing instruments is recognized using the effective yield method as interest accrues under the associated contracts. Lease management fees are recognized as income as they accrue over the life of the contract. Income from the receipt of lease termination penalties is recorded at the time cash is received or when the lease is terminated, if revenue recognition criteria are met. Pension We operate a defined benefit pension plan for our Dutch employees and some of our Irish employees. We recognize net periodic pension costs associated with these plans in selling, general and administrative expenses and recognize the unfunded status of the plan, if any, in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities. The change in fair value of the funded pension liability that is not related to the net periodic pension cost is recorded in AOCI. The projection of benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets require the use of assumptions and estimates, including discount rates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Furthermore, we operate defined contribution plans for the employees who do not fall under the defined benefit pension plans. We recognize an expense for contributions to the defined contribution plans in selling, general and administrative expenses in the period the contributions are made . Share ‑based compensation Certain employees receive AerCap share-based awards, consisting of restricted stock units and restricted stock. The share-based compensation expense is determined by reference to the fair value of the restricted stock units or restricted stock on the grant date and is recognized over the vesting period using the straight-line method, classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Income Statements. Foreign currency Foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the time the transaction took place. Receivables or payables arising from such foreign currency transactions are remeasured into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on each subsequent balance sheet date. All resulting exchange gains and losses are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Income Statements. Variable interest entities We consolidate VIEs in which we have determined that we are the PB. We use judgment when determining (i) whether an entity is a VIE; (ii) who are the variable interest holders; (iii) the elements and degree of control that each variable interest holder has; and (iv) ultimately which party is the PB. When determining which party is the PB, we perform an analysis which considers (i) the design of the VIE; (ii) the capital structure of the VIE; (iii) the contractual relationships between the variable interest holders; (iv) the nature of the entities’ operations; and (v) the purposes and interests of all parties involved, including related parties. While we consider these factors, our conclusion about whether to consolidate ultimately depends on the breadth of our decision-making ability and our ability to influence activities that significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE. We continually re-evaluate whether we are the PB for VIEs in which we hold a variable interest. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. For the purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the denominator includes both the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period and the weighted average number of potentially dilutive ordinary shares, such as restricted stock units, restricted stock and stock options. Reportable segments We manage our business and analyze and report our results of operations on the basis of one business segment: leasing, financing, sales and management of commercial aircraft and engines. Recent accounting guidance adopted during the year ended December 31, 2015 Reporting discontinued operations In April 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard that changes the requirements for presenting a component or group of components of an entity as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures. Under the standard, the disposal of a component or group of components of an entity should be reported as a discontinued operation if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. Disposals of equity method investments, or those reported as held ‑for ‑sale, will be eligible for presentation as a discontinued operation if they meet the new definition. The standard also requires entities to provide specified disclosures about a disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation. We adopted the standard on its required effective date of January 1, 2015 and it did not have any effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Future application of accounting standards Revenue from contracts with customers In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard that provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry ‑specific guidance. This guidance does not apply to lease contracts with customers. The standard will require an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This update creates a five ‑step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of the contract including (i) identifying the contract with the customer; (ii) identifying the separate performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determining the transaction price; (iv) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations; and (v) recognizing revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. This standard was originally scheduled to be effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2016 and subsequent interim periods. In August 2015, the FASB issued an update to the standard which deferred the effective date to January 1, 2018. The standard may be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of applying this standard recognized at the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted, but not before the originally scheduled effective date. We plan to adopt the standard on its required effective date of January 1, 2018. We are evaluating the effect the adoption of the standard will have on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. This new standard does not impact the accounting of our lease revenue but may impact the accounting of our revenue other than lease revenue, as a result, we do not expect the impact of this standard to be material to our Consolidated Financial Statements. Amendments to the consolidation analysis In February 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard that affects reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. Specifically, the amendments modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities; eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership; affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships; and provide a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds. This standard will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The standard may be applied retrospectively or through a cumulative effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the year of adoption. We will adopt the standard on its required effective date of January 1, 2016. We do not expect the impact of this standard to be material to our Consolidated Financial Statements. Presentation of debt issuance costs In April 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard that requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability. In August 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard to clarify that entities are permitted to defer and present debt issuance costs related to line of credit arrangements as an asset, and subsequently amortize the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line of credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any out standing borrowings on the line of credit arrangement. The standards are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 . Early adoption is permitted . Upon adoption, the standards should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We will adopt the standards on their required effective date of January 1, 2016. The adoption of these standards will only result in a change in presentation of these costs in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Inventory In J

ILFC Transaction [Abstract]
ILFC Transaction	4. ILFC Transaction On May 14, 2014 , AerCap issued 97,560,976 new ordinary shares and paid $2.4 billion in cash to AIG to successfully complete the ILFC Transaction . Prior to the consummation of the ILFC Transaction, ILFC paid a special distribution to AIG in the amount of $600.0 million. The total consideration paid to AIG, excluding the special distribution of $600.0 million paid by ILFC to AIG on May 13, 2014, had a value of approximately $7.0 billion based on AerCap’s closing price per share of $46.59 on May 14, 2014. On the Closing Date, immediately after completing the ILFC Transaction, all of ILFC’s assets were transferred substantially as an entirety to AerCap Trust, a legal entity formed on February 5, 2014, and AerCap Trust assumed substantially all of the liabilities of ILFC. AerCap Ireland Capital Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AerCap Ireland Limited, and ILFC, an indirect subsidiary of AerCap Trust, are the sole beneficiaries of AerCap Trust. On June 9, 2015, AIG sold 71,184,686 of its AerCap ordinary shares in a secondary public offering and AerCap completed the Share Repurchase of 15,698,588 ordinary shares . On August 24, 2015, AIG sold 10,677,702 of its AerCap ordinary shares in a secondary public offering. Following this sale , AIG no longer owns any of our outstanding ordinary shares or has any designees on our Board of Directors. The consideration transferred to effect the ILFC Transaction consisted of the following: Cash consideration (a) $ 2,400,000 97,560,976 AerCap common shares issued multiplied by AerCap closing share price per share of $46.59 on May 14, 2014 4,545,366 Share compensation 12,275 Consideration transferred $ 6,957,641 (a) Excludes the $600.0 million special distribution paid by ILFC to AIG prior to the Closing Date. As of December 31, 2014, we had finalized all known measurement period adjustments. The following is a summary of the preliminary and final allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and non-controlling interest at the Closing Date. Amounts initially recognized and reported as of the Closing Date Measurement period adjustments Final amounts recognized as of the Closing Date Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 2,958,809 $ — $ 2,958,809 (a) Flight equipment held for operating leases, net 23,989,643 48,780 24,038,423 Prepayments on flight equipment 3,166,788 9,534 3,176,322 Maintenance rights intangible and lease premium 4,263,076 (181,047) 4,082,029 (b) Other intangibles 440,093 49,712 489,805 Accrued maintenance liability (2,688,438) 113,320 (2,575,118) Debt (24,339,842) — (24,339,842) Other assets and liabilities (775,990) (77,844) (853,834) Non-controlling interest (77,047) — (77,047) Estimate of fair value of net assets acquired 6,937,092 (37,545) 6,899,547 Consideration transferred 6,957,641 — 6,957,641 Goodwill $ 20,549 $ 37,545 $ 58,094 (a) Includes $0.8 billion of restricted cash. (b) Includes $4.0 billion maintenance rights intangible, and the remaining amount relates to lease premium. AerCap reported transaction and integration expenses related to the ILFC Transaction as provided in the following table. These expenses are included in transaction, integration and restructuring related expenses in our Consolidated Income Statements. Year Ended December 31, 2015 2014 2013 Severance and other compensation expenses $ 7,236 $ 54,600 $ — Banking fees — 45,740 3,959 Professional fees and other expenses 2,366 48,452 7,000 $ 9,602 $ 148,792 $ 10,959 The acquired business contributed t otal revenues and other income of $2, 574.7 million and n et income of $687.8 million to AerCap for the period beginning May 14, 2014 and ended December 31, 2014. The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information of AerCap as if the business combination had occurred on January 1, 2013: Year Ended December 31, 2014 2013 Total Revenues and other income $ 5,212,900 $ 5,444,581 Net income (loss) 952,778 (32,634) The most significant pro forma adjustments were to reflect the impact , net of tax, of: (i) the amortization of the intangible lease premium component as an adjustment to revenue; (ii) the expensing of the maintenance rights intangible, which occurs when the lease ends for EOL contracts or when the lessee provides us with the required documentation related to the cost of a qualifying maintenance event that relates to pre-acquisition usage for MR contracts. The related pro forma adjustment was based on the estimated annual charge in the first full year after the acquisition; (iii) the depreciation and amortization expenses related to the fair value adjustments to aircraft and other intangibles; (iv) the interest expense on the existing debt taking into account the fair value adjustment to the debt as of the Closing Date; (v) the interest expense related to the acquisition financing, as if the financing occurred as of January 1, 2013; (vi) other interest expense adjustments relating to the maintenance and security deposit liabilities as well as the prepayments on flight equipment; and (vii) non-recurring transaction and integration related expenses, as if they had been incurred as of January 1, 2013 instead of 2014. The above unaudited pro forma financial information is for informational purposes only and may not necessarily reflect the actual results of operations had the ILFC Transaction been consummated on January 1, 2013. The pro forma information did not adjust for gain from sales, impairment charges and loss from early extinguishment of debt. These pro forma amounts are not designed to represent the future expected financial results of AerCap. The ILFC Transaction resulted in significant increases of our asset s and liabilities, as well as revenues and expenses.

Derivative Assets And Liabilities [Abstract]
Derivative Assets And Liabilities	1 2 . Derivative assets and liabilities We have entered into interest rate derivatives to hedge the current and future interest rate payments on our variable rate debt. These derivative financial instruments can include interest rate swaps, caps, floors, options and forward contracts. As of December 31, 2015, we had interest rate caps and swaps outstanding, with underlying variable benchmark interest rates ranging from one to three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR. All of our interest rate swaps acquired as part of the ILFC Transaction expired during the year ended December 31, 2015. None of our derivatives that were outstanding as of December 31, 2015 were subject to master netting agreements, which allow the netting of derivative assets and liabilities in the case of default under any one contract. Some of our agreements with derivative counterparties require a two-way cash collateralization of derivative fair values. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, we had cash collateral of $4.5 million and $8.1 million, respectively, from various counterparties and the obligation to return such collateral was recorded in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities. The Company had not advanced any cash collateral to counterparties as of December 31, 2015 and 2014. The counterparties to our interest rate derivatives are major international financial institutions. We continually monitor our positions and the credit ratings of the counterparties involved and limit the amount of credit exposure to any one party. We could be exposed to potential losses due to the credit risk of non-performance by these counterparties. We have not experienced any material losses to date. Our derivative assets are recorded in other assets and our derivative liabilities are recorded in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The obligations of the subsidiary borrower are guaranteed by AerCap Holdings N.V. and certain of its subsidiaries. In February 2015, we entered into an amendment to the 2004 ECA facility allowing funds that previously were required to be segregated to be replaced by letters of credit, and releasing the security interest in respect of certain aircraf t for which the associated loans had been repaid . Prior to entering into this amendment, we were required to segregate security depos its and overhaul rentals received under the leases related to the aircraft funded under the facility to the extent amounts remain ed outstanding under the relevant aircraft loan . The segregated funds were deposited into separate accounts pledged to and controlled by the security trustee of the 2004 ECA facility . We must register mortgages on certain aircraft funded under the 2004 ECA facility in the local jurisdictions in which the respective aircraft are registered. The mortgages are required to be filed only with respect to aircraft that have outstanding loan balances.

As of the latest loan-to-value ratio determination date, the appraised value of the pledged aircraft was $1.76 billion, resulting in a loan-to-value ratio of approximately 60.8% . The subsidiary borrower is required to maintain compliance with a maximum loan ‑to ‑value ratio, which was 62.4% as of the latest loan-to-value ratio determination date. The maximum loan-to value ratio declines over time, as set forth in the term loan agreement. If the maximum loan ‑to ‑value ratio is exceeded , we will be required to prepay portions of the outstanding loans, deposit an amount in the cash collateral account or transfer additional aircraft to the SPEs, subject to certain concentration criteria, so that the ratio is equal to or less than the maximum loan ‑ to ‑value ratio. As of December 31, 2015, we were in compliance with this ratio.

In the United States of America, due to the restructuring of certain entities, previously disallowed tax assets can now be utilized against additional projected taxable income, resulting in the release of $25.0 million of valuation allowance from the opening balance sheet. It also included the non-taxable income arising from aircraft with a higher tax basis in general. The 2014 non-deductible expenditures included the non-deductible intercompany interest allocated to the United States of America, non-deductible share-based compensation in the Netherlands and the non-deductible transaction costs from the ILFC Transaction. The following tables present our foreign rate differential by tax jur isdiction for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013: Year Ended December 31, 2015 Pre-tax income (loss) Local statutory tax rate (a) Variance to Dutch statutory tax rate of 25.0% Tax variance as a result of global activities (b) Tax jurisdiction The Netherlands $ 175,897 25.0 % 0.0 % $ — Ireland 1,212,190 12.5 % (12.5) % (151,524) United States of America (43,825) 36.3 % 11.3 % (4,952) Isle of Man 181,118 0.0 % (25.0) % (45,280) Other 77,671 13.3 % (11.7) % (9,099) $ 1,603,051 $ (210,854) Loss arising from non-taxable items (c) (237,352) Income from continuing operations before income tax $ 1,365,699 Year Ended December 31, 2014 Pre-tax income (loss) Local statutory tax rate (a) Variance to Dutch statutory tax rate of 25.0% Tax variance as a result of global activities (b) Tax jurisdiction The Netherlands $ 26,081 25.0 % 0.0 % $ — Ireland 694,605 12.5 % (12.5) % (86,826) United States of America 95,585 38.3 % 13.3 % 12,713 Isle of Man 167,689 0.0 % (25.0) % (41,922) Other 7,528 23.0 % (2.0) % (242) $ 991,488 $ (116,277) Loss arising from non-taxable items (c) (74,590) Income from continuing operations before income tax $ 916,898 Year Ended December 31, 2013 Pre-tax income (loss) Local statutory tax rate (a) Variance to Dutch statutory tax rate of 25.0% Tax variance as a result of global activities (b) Tax jurisdiction The Netherlands $ 22,106 25.0 % 0.0 % $ — Ireland 135,424 12.5 % (12.5) % (16,928) United States of America 10,354 35.6 % 10.6 % 1,098 Sweden (1,848) 18.6 % (6.4) % 118 Isle of Man 143,327 0.0 % (25.0) % (35,832) $ 309,363 $ (51,544) Income arising from non-taxable items 1,428 Income from continuing operations before income tax $ 310,791 (a) The local statutory income tax expense for our significant tax jurisdictions (the Netherlands, Ireland, the United States of America and Isle of Man) does not differ from the actual income tax expense. (b) The tax variance as a result of global activities is primarily caused by our operations in countries with a lower statutory tax rate than the statutory tax rate in the Netherlands . (c) The 2015 non-taxable income included the non-deductible intercompany interest allocated to the United States of America, non-deductible share-based compensation in the Netherlands, non-deductible costs relating to the transfer of certain functions from the Netherlands to Ireland, and a valuation allowance taken in respect of U.S. and Dutch tax losses. The 2014 non-taxable income included the non-deductible intercompany interest allocated to the United States of America, non-deductible share-based compensation in the Netherlands and the non-deductible transaction costs from the ILFC Transaction. The calculation of income for tax purposes differs significantly from book income. Deferred income tax is provided to reflect the impact of temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured under tax law in the various jurisdictions. Tax loss carry forwards and accelerated tax depreciation on flight equipment held for operating leases give rise to the most significant timing differences.

The net deferred income tax liabilities as of December 31, 2014 of $ 93.8 million were recognized in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as deferred income tax assets of $ 190.0 million and as deferred income tax liabilities of $ 283.8 million. The following table presents the movements in the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 : Year Ended December 31, 2015 2014 Valuation allowance at beginning of period $ 61,933 $ — ILFC Transaction — 55,083 Increase of allowance to income tax provision 10,067 6,850 Valuation allowance at end of period $ 72,000 $ 61,933 The valuation allowance as of December 31, 2015 of $ 72.0 million included $23.0 million related to losses and credit forwards in Australia, $35.1 million related to having insufficient sources of projected taxable income to fully realize the deferred tax asset in the United States of America, and $13.9 million related to loss carry forwards in the Netherlands. In the United States of America, due to the restructuring of certain entities, previously disallowed tax assets can now be u tilized against additional projected taxable income, resultin g in the release of $25.0 million of valuation allowance from the opening balance sheet. The valuation allowance as of December 31, 2014 of $ 61.9 million included $36.9 million related to losses and credit forwards in Australia and $25.0 million related to deferred losses in the United States of America. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had $15.5 million and $12. 4 million , respectively of unrecognized tax benefits. As of the Closing Date of the ILFC Transaction, we had $5.4 million of unrecognized tax benefits . Substantially all of the unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2015, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate. Although it is reasonably possible that a change in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next 12 months, based on the information currently available, we do not expect any change to be material to our consolidated financial condition. Our primary tax jurisdictions are the Netherlands, Ireland, and the United States of America. Our tax returns in t he Netherlands ar e open for examination from 2010 forward, in Ireland from 2011 forward, an d in the United States of America for 2012 and 2014 forward. In the United States of America, the 2013 federal income tax return for AerCap, Inc. and its subsidiaries was subject to examination. This closed without adjustment in early 2016. None of our other tax returns are currently subject to examination. Our policy is to recognize accrued interest on the underpayment of income taxes as a component of i nterest expense and penalties associated with tax liabilities as a component of provision for income tax es . The Netherlands The majority of our Dutch subsidiaries are part of a single Dutch fiscal unity and are included in a consolidated tax filing. Aside from the one-time current tax expense related to the transfer of certain functions from the Netherlands to Ireland, current tax expenses are limited with respect to the Dutch subsidiaries d ue to the existence of interest bearing intercompany liabilities. Deferred income tax is calculated using the Dutch corporate income tax rate ( 25.0 %). Tax losses in the Netherlands can generally be carried back one year and carried forward nine years before expiry. Ireland Since 2006, the enacted Irish corporate income tax rate has been 12.5 %. Some of our Irish t ax-resident operating subsidiaries have significant losses ca rry forward as of December 31, 2015 which give rise to deferred income tax assets. The availability of these losses does not expire with time. In addition, the vast majority of all of our Irish tax-resident subsidiaries are entitled to accelerated aircraft depreciation for tax purposes and shelter net taxable income with the surrender of losses on a current year basis within the Irish tax group. Accordingly, no Irish tax charge arose during the year. Based on projected taxable profits in our Irish subsidiaries, we expect to recover the full value of our Irish tax assets and have no t recognized a valuation allowance against such assets as of December 31, 201 5 . United States of America Our U.S. subsidiaries are assessable to federal and state U.S. taxes. Since the ILFC Transaction, we no longer file one consolidated federal income tax return. We have two distinct groups of U.S. companies that each file a consolidated return and various individual subsidiaries that file single company returns. The blended federal and state tax rate applicable to our co mbined U.S. group wa s 36.3 % for the year ended December 31, 201 5 . Due to an intragroup restructuring within the U.S., we are able to generate additional sources of taxable income to fully realize our deferred income tax asset in our U.S. ILFC group. As a result, we have fully released the existing valuation allowance against our U.S. ILFC deferred income tax asset of $25.0 million as of December 31, 2015. Due to a restructuring of activities in the U.S. AeroTurbine group, we do not expect to generate sufficient sources of taxable income to realize our deferred income tax asset in the U.S. AeroTurbine group. Thus, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our U.S. AeroTurbine group deferred income tax asset of $33.3 million as of December 31, 2015. We had $91.7 million U.S. federal net operating losses as of December 31, 2015, which expire between 2025 and 203 5.

Equity [Abstract]
Equity	1 7 . Equity On May 14, 2014, AerCap issued 97,560,976 new ordinary shares and paid $2.4 billion in cash to AIG to successfully complete the ILFC Transaction , pursuant to which AerCap acquired, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, 100% of the common stock of ILFC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AIG . In February 2015, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing total repurchases of up to $250 million of AerCap ordinary shares. In May 2015, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $500 million of share repurchases, increasing the total authorization under the program to $750 million. On June 9, 2015, we completed the Share Repurchase with AIG, at an approximate price per share of $47.77 . Consideration for the Share Repurchase consisted of the issuance of the Junior Subordinated Notes to AIG and $250 million of cash on hand. See Note 4— ILFC Transaction . In relation to the Share Repurchase, we incurred $11.2 million of expenses. In October 2015, our Board of Directors cancelled 9, 698 , 588 ordinary shares which were acquired through the Share Repurchase in accordance with the authorizations obtained from the Company's shareholders. In February 2016, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing total re purchases of up to $400 million of AerCap ordinary shares through June 30, 2016.

Share-Based Compensation [Abstract]
Share-Based Compensation	18. Share ‑based compensation Under our equity incentive plans we have granted restricted stock units, rest ricted stock and stock options to directors, officers and employees in order to enable us to attract, retain and motivate such people and to align their interests with ours, including but not limited to retention and motivation in relation to the implementation of the ILFC Transaction. Cerberus Funds Equity Grants Effective June 30, 2005, companies controlled by Cerberus (“Cerberus Funds”) which, at the time, indirectly owned 100% of our equity interests, put into place an Equity Incentive Plan ( the “Cerberus Funds Equity Plan”) under which members of our senior management, Board of Directors and an employee of Cerberus were granted certain direct or indirect rights (stock options) to the Company’s shares held by the Cerberus Funds. There were nil and 27,734 options outstanding under the Cerberus Funds Equity Plan as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, none of which are subject to future vesting criteria. AerCap Holdings N.V. Equity Grants In March 2012, we implemented an equity incentive plan ( the “Equity Incentive Plan 2012”) which provides for the grant of stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and other stock awards to participants of the plan selected by the Nomination and Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. Effective May 14, 2014, the Equity Incentive Plan 2012 was expanded and the maximum number of equity awards available to be granted under the plan is equivalent to 8,064,081 Company shares. The Equity Incentive Plan 2012 is not open for equity awards to our directors. On May 14, 2014 , we implemented an equity incentive plan ( the “Equity Incentive Plan 2014”) which provides for the grant of equity awards to participants of the plan selected by the Nomination and Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. The maximum number of equity awards available to be granted under the plan is equivalent to 4,500,000 Company shares. The Equity Incentive Plan 2014 is open for equity awards to our directors. The Equity Incentive Plan 2014 replaced an equity incentive plan that was implemented in October 2006 ( the “Equity Incentive Plan 2006” , the Equity Incentive Plan 2014, Equity Incentive Plan 2012 and Equity Incentive Plan 2006 collectively referred to herein as “AerCap Holdings N.V. Equity Plans” ). Prior awards remain in effect pursuant to their terms and conditions. The terms and conditions of the Equity Incentive Plan 2006 and the Equity Incentive Plan 2014 are substantially the same. The terms and conditions, including the vesting conditions, of the equity awards granted under AerCap Holdings N.V. Equity Plans are determined by the Nomination and Compensation Committee and, for our directors, by the Board of Directors in line with the remuneration policy approved by the General Meeting of Shareholders. The vesting periods of the equity awards range between three years and five years, subject to certain exceptions. Certain awards are subject to long term performance vesting criteria, based on the average earnings per share over the specified periods, in order to promote and encourage superior performance over a prolonged period of time. Some of our officers receive annual equity awards as part of their compensation package. Annual equity awards are granted after the year end and the number of awards granted is dependent on the performance of AerCap and the re spective individual officer during the previous financial year. The 2015 annual equity awards were granted to some of our officers in December 2015 in lieu of the first quarter of 2016 in order to avoid double taxation in connection with the migration of the Company’s headquarters to Ireland in early 2016. All outstanding awards of restricted stock units are convertible into common shares of the Company at a ratio of one -to-one . During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company’s obligations to issue shares at the exercise of vested options , on the vesting date of restricted stock units , or upon lapse of the restrictions in relation to restricted stock were satisfied by both the issuance of new shares and the transfer of treasury shares acquired from a share repurchase during the year ended December 31, 2015. The following table present s movements in the outstanding restricted stock units and restricted stock under the AerCap Holdings N.V. Equity Plans during the year ended December 31, 2015: Year Ended December 31, 2015 Number of time based restricted stock units and restricted stock Number of performance based restricted stock units and restricted stock Weighted average grant date fair value of time based grants ($) Weighted average grant date fair value of performance based grants ($) Number at beginning of period (a) 4,473,433 5,959,009 $ 33.40 $ 42.50 Granted (b) 318,398 156,669 43.11 44.37 Vested (c) (1,045,415) (548,214) 13.34 13.37 Cancelled (6,726) (13,453) 46.59 46.59 Number at end of period (d) 3,739,690 5,554,011 $ 39.81 $ 45.42 (a) Includes 365,000 restricted stock granted prior to 2015 under the AerCap Holdings N.V.

(b) Includes 89,317 restricted stock granted under the AerCap Holdings N.V. Equity Plans, of which 63,311 restricted stock were issued with the remaining restricted stock being withheld and applied to pay the taxes involved. (c) 1,588,808 restricted stock units, which were previously granted under the AerCap Holdings N.V. Equity Plans, vested. In connection with the vesting of the restricted stock units, the Company issued, in full satisfaction of its obligations, 912,850 ordinary shares to the holders of these restricted stock units with the remainder being withheld and applied to pay the taxes involved . In addition, restrictions on 4,821 restricted stock ( 3,066 restricted stock net of withholding for taxes) lapsed during the period. (d) I n December 2015, 3,848,853 restricted stock units that had been issued previously were converted to restricted stock of which 2,744,813 were issued with the remaining stock being withheld and applied to pay the taxes involved. The converted restricted stock remained subject to restrictions and conditions identical to the restricted stock units, including vesting conditions. The following table present s movements in the outstanding stock options under the Equity Incentive Plan 2006 (no options were granted under the Equity Incentive Plan 2012 or Equity Incentive Plan 2014) and the stock options that rolled over from the amalgamation of Genesis in 2010 during the year ended December 31, 2015. All outstanding options were vested as of January 1, 2016.

These options were issued pursuant to a separate board resolution, and were not issued under any of the AerCap Holdings N.V. Equity Plans. The amount of share-based compensation expense is determined by reference to the fair value of the restricted stock units or restricted stock on th e grant date, based on the trading price of the Company’s shares on the grant date and reflective of the probability of vesting. All outstanding options have been fully expensed. We incurred share-based compensation expense of $ 100.2 million, $ 68.2 million and $ 9.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The following table presents our expected share-based compensation expense assuming that the established performance criteria are met and that no forfeitures occur: Expected share-based compensation expense (U.S. dollar amounts in millions) 2016 $ 100.7 2017 90.9 2018 41.3 2019 3.8

Pension Plans [Abstract]
Pension Plans	19. Pension plans We operate defined benefit plans and defined contribution pension plans for our employees. These plans do not have a material impact on our Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Income Statements. Defined benefit plans Dutch defined benefit plan We provide an insured defined benefit pension plan covering our Dutch employees ( the "Dutch Plan") based on years of service and career average pay. The Dutch P lan is funded through a guaranteed insurance contract, and we determine the funded status of this plan with the assistance of an actuary. During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, we recognized actuarial gains (losses) of pension obligations, net of taxes, of $(0.2) million, $1.6 million and $(0.3) million, respectively, in AOCI. The actuarial gains or losses were calculated assuming a discount rate of 2.4% , 2.4% and 4.0% for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and various assumptions regarding the plan’s future funding and pay out. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, we recorded a liability in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities of $3.2 million and $2.9 million, respectively, which covers the excess of our projected benefit obligation s over plan assets. Irish defined benefit plan We provide a defined benefit pension plan covering some of our Irish employees ( the "Irish Plan") based on years of service and fi nal pensionable pay. The Irish P lan is funded through contributions by the Company and invested in trustee administered funds, which was closed to new participants as of June 30, 2009, but will continue to accrue benefits for existing participants. We determine the funded status of this plan with the assistance of an actuary. During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, we recognized actuarial gains (losses), net of tax, of $0.5 million, $(3.1) million and $(0.2) million in AOCI. The actuarial gains or losses were calculated assuming a discount rate of 2.5% , 2.4 % and 3.9% for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively, and various assumptions regarding the plan’s future funding and pay out. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, we recorded a liability in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities of $6.9 million and $7.0 million, respectively, which covers the excess of our projected benefit obligation s over plan assets. Defined contribution plans Dutch defined contribution plan We provide a defined c ontribution pension plan for those Dutch employees that are not covered by the defined benefit plan. During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, we contributed $0.4 million, $0.3 million and nil , respectively, to this plan. No amounts were outstanding in respect of pension contributions as of December 31, 2015. Irish defined contribution plan We provide a defined c ontribution pension plan for those Irish employees that are not covered by the defined benefit plan. During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, we contributed $1.1 million, $0. 3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, to this plan. No amounts were outstanding in respect of pension contributions as of December 31, 2015. Other plan s We provide defined contribution pension plans or comparable company saving plans to employees not covered by the Dutch or Irish plans as disclosed above. All of these plans, individually or on an aggregated basis, do not have a material impact on our Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Income Statements.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, we recognized total impairment charges of $ 16.3 million primarily related to eight aircraft and 12 engines. Four of the impaired aircraft were redelivered from the respective lessees for which we received or retained lea se-end maintenance compensation and recognized $20.5 million of maintenance rents and other receipts upon redelivery. The impairment on the remaining four aircraft and 12 engines was recognized as the ir net book values were no longer supportable based on our latest cash flow estimate s for each of these assets . During the year ended December 31, 2015, we also recognized impairment charges for certain AeroTurbine intangible assets and leased engines.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, we recognized impairment charges of $21.8 million primarily related to eight aircraft that were returned early from our lessees, and three previo usly leased engines that we sold for parts. The impairment was recognized as the ir net book values were no longer support able based on our latest cash flow estimates for each of these assets . During the year ended December 31, 2013, we reco gnized impairment charges of $25.6 million related to six aircraft. The impairment on four aircraft was triggered by the release of $9.9 million of maintenance reserves and $17.7 million of EOL payments received or retained upon redelivery. The impairment on the remaining two aircraft was the result of our annual assessment whereby we concluded that the ir net book values were no longer supportable based on our latest cash flow estimates , including residual value proceeds for these aircraft . Also, a note receivable for an aircraft which was sold in 2013 was impaired.

AeroTurbine Restructuring [Abstract]
AeroTurbine Restructuring	25. AeroTurbine restructuring During the fourth quarter of 2015, we made the decision to downsize the AeroTurbine business. After completion of the downsizing, AeroTurbine will only provide services to support AerCap’s aircraft leasing business, including aircraft maintenance, engine leasing and engine trading. In conn ection with the downsizing, we performed recoverability assessments of AeroTurbine’s long-lived assets. The se recoverability assessme nts indicated that the book value of certain AeroTurbine intangible assets and leased engines were no longer supported by their future expected cash flows. The resulting impairment was measured as the excess of the carrying amount of each asset over its fair value. Fair value was estimated based on the present value of future cash flows expected to be generated from the asset, including its expected residual value, discounted at a rate commensurate with t he associated risk. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we also recognized a lower of cost or market adjustment of AeroTurbine’s parts inventory. Please refer to Note 22 — Other income for further details. The impairment charges and severance expenses as provided in the following table were recorded in transaction, integration and restructuring related expenses in our Consolidated Income Statement during the year ended December 31, 2015. Year Ended December 31, 2015 Tradename and other intangible assets impairment $ 24,837 Leased engines impairment 22,402 Severance expenses 2,072 $ 49,311

We provide certain aircraft- and accounting-related services to AerDragon, and guarantee debt secured by certain aircraft which AerDragon purchased directly from us for a fee. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, we guaranteed debt of $7.5 million and $11.3 million, respectively, for AerDragon. With the exception of the debt for which we act as a guarantor, the obligations of AerDragon are non-recourse to us. As of December 31, 2015, AerDragon had 2 7 narrowbody and one widebody aircraft on lease to ten airlines and had a further two aircraft on order. AerDragon completed the sales of two narrowbody aircraft to a third party during the year ended December 31, 2015. We have determined that AerDragon is a VIE, in which we do not have control and therefore we are not the PB. We do have significant influence and, accordingly, we account for our investment in AerDragon under the equity method of accounting. AerLift AerLift is a joint venture in which we have a 39% interest. We provide asset and lease management, insurance management and cash management services to AerLift for a fee. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, we guaranteed debt of $168.9 million and $173. 1 million, respectively, for AerLift. Other than the debt for which we act as a guarantor, the debt obligations of AerLift are non-recourse to us . As of December 31, 2015, AerLift owned six aircraft. We have determined that AerLift is a VIE in which we do not have control and therefore we are not the PB. We do have significant influence and, accordingly, we account for our investment in AerLift under the equity method of accounting. ACSAL In June 2013, we completed a transaction under which we sold eight Boeing 737-800 aircraft to ACSAL, an affiliate of Guggenheim, in exchange for cash, and we made a capital contribution to ACSAL in exchange for 19% of its equity. We provide aircraft asset and lease management services to ACSAL for a fee. As of December 31, 2015, ACSAL continued to own the eight aircraft. We determined that ACSAL is a VIE in which we do not have control and therefore we are not the PB. We do have significant influence and, accordingly, we account for our investment in ACSAL under the equity method of accounting. AerCap Partners III In 2010, we entered into a 50% joint venture, AerCap Partners III Holdings Limited (“AerCap Partners III”), which initially owned three Airbus A330 aircraft. On June 1, 2011, we sold our 50% interest in the three Airbus A330 aircraft but we continue to guarantee debt for AerCap Partners III for a fee. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, we guaranteed $71.7 million and $82.9 million of debt for AerCap Partners III, respectively. Other than the debt for which we act as a guarantor, the obligations of AerCap Partners III are non-recourse to us. We have determined that AerCap Partners III is a VIE in which we do not have control and therefore we are not the PB. ALS In 2012, we completed the ALS Transaction. In addition, we obtained financing (the "ALS Coupon Liability") in return for which we received a contingent asset (the "ALS Note Receivable") with the substance of a structured note. Repayments of the ALS Coupon Liability are equal to an annual 8% coupon of the purchase price, paid until the earlier of December 2016 or the month in which the senior securities issued by ALS (the “G-Notes”), are fully repaid. The ALS Note Receivable will be received following the repayment of the G-Notes and is equal to a maximum of 20% of the portfolio cash flows on a pro rata basis up to a cap which will be equal to the total ALS Coupon Liability. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the ALS Note Receivable was $85 .7 million and $79.3 million, respectively, and $28.0 million and $53.1 million, respectively, was outstanding under the ALS Coupon Liability. We have determined that ALS is a VIE in which we do not have control and therefore we are not the PB. Other joint ventures We had an economic interest in AerCo. On August 4, 2015, AerCo entered into a creditor’s winding up. On February 16, 2016, AerCo Limited was dissolved. AerCo was an aircraft securitization vehicle in which we held the most junior class of subordinated notes and certain notes immediately senior to those junior notes. We provided a variety of management services to AerCo for which we received fees. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, AerCo was a VIE for which we determined that we did not have control and were not the PB and, accordingly, we did not consolidate the financial results of AerCo in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Historically, the investment in AerCo had been written down to zero. On October 15, 2015, AerCo disclosed that no further payments of interest or principal would be made in respect of the classes of notes held by us. Hence, we will not realize any value from the creditor’s winding up of AerCo. In 2014, we sold our 42.3% equity interest in AerData, an integrated software solution provider for the aircraft leasing industry. AerData continues to provide software services to us. Other variable interest entities We have variable interests in other entities in which we have determined we are not the PB because we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the entity's economic performance. Our variable interest in these entities consists of servicing fees that we receive for providing aircraft management services.

Commitments And Contingencies

Commitments And Contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments And Contingencies	29 . Commitments and contingencies Aircraft on order As of December 31, 2015, we had commitments to purchase 447 new aircraft scheduled for delivery through 2022. The majority of these commitments are based upon purchase a greements with Boeing, Airbus and Embraer. These agreements establish the pricing formulas (including adjustments for certain contractual escalation provisions) and various other terms with respect to the purchase of aircraft. Under certain circumstances, we have the right to alter the mix of aircraft types ultimately acquired. As of December 31, 2015, we had made non-refundable deposits on these purchase commitments (exclusive of capitalized interest and fair value adjustments) of approximately $526.8 million, $403.8 million and $7.5 million with Boeing, Airbus and Embraer, respectively. Management anticipates that a portion of the aggregate purchase price for the acquisition of aircraft will be funded by incurring additional debt. The amount of the indebtedness to be incurred will depend on the final purchase price of the aircraft, which can vary due to a number of factors, including inflation. Movements in prepayments on flight equipment and capitalized interest during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2015 2014 Prepayments on flight equipment and capitalized interest at beginning of period $ 3,486,514 $ 223,815 Prepayments made during the period 747,541 320,396 ILFC Transaction — 3,176,322 Interest capitalized during the period 79,230 (a) 80,328 Prepayments and capitalized interest applied to the purchase of flight equipment (1,012,859) (314,347) Prepayments on flight equipment and capitalized interest at end of period $ 3,300,426 $ 3,486,514 (a) Includes an out of period adjustment of $16.9 million. See Note 2 — Basis of presentation . The following table presents our contractual commitments for the purchase of flight equipment as of December 31, 2015: 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Thereafter Total Purchase obligations (a) $ 3,883,380 $ 5,647,627 $ 5,817,938 $ 4,484,003 $ 3,608,082 $ 3,017,180 $ 26,458,210 (a) Includes commitments to purchase 413 aircraft, 34 purchase and leaseback transactions and spare engine commitments. Leases We have operating lease agreements with third parties for office space, company cars and office equipment. As of December 31, 2015, minimum payments under the lease agreements for office space were as follows: Future minimum lease payments 2016 $ 10,828 2017 13,908 2018 11,800 2019 9,657 2020 9,732 Thereafter 65,253 $ 121,178 Asset value guarantees As part of the ILFC Transaction, we assumed the potential obligation of contracts that guarantee, for a fee, a portion of the residual value of aircraft owned by third parties. These guarantees e xpire at various dates through 2023 and generally obligate us to pay the shortfall between the fair market value and the guaranteed value of the aircraft and, in certain cases, provide us with an option to purchase the aircraft for the guaranteed value. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we settled three asset valu e guarantees and recognized a $22.6 million gain. As of December 31, 2015, eight guarantees were outstanding. We regularly review the underlying values of the aircraft collateral to determine our exposure under asset value guarantees. We did not record any asset guarantee loss provisions during the years ended December 31, 2015 or 2014. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the carrying value of the asset value guarantee liability was $37.5 million and $133.5 million, respectively, and was included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2015, the maximum aggregate potential commitment that we were obligated to pay under these guarantees, including those exercised, and without any offset for the projected value of the aircraft or other contractual features that may limit our exposure, was approximately $ 168.4 million. Other guarantees In September 2015, we entered into an agreement to guarantee the future re-lease or extension rental rates and other costs of four aircraft sold up to agreed maximum amounts for each aircraft. These guarantees expire when qualifying re-lease or extension agreements are signed , but no later than 2018. We are obligated to perform under these guarantees if the contracted net re-lease or extension rates do not equal or exceed the specified amounts in the guarantees. As of December 31, 2015, the guarantee carrying value was $9.9 million and was included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of December 31, 2015, the maximum undiscounted aggregate future guarantee payments that we could be obligated to make under these guarantees, without offset for the projected net future re-lease or extension rates, were approximately $22.4 million. Legal proceedings General In the ordinary course of our business, we are a party to various legal actions, which we believe are incidental to the operations of our business. The Company regularly reviews the possible outcome of such legal actions, and accrues for such legal actions at the time a loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be estimated. In addition, the Company also reviews indemnities and insurance coverage , where applicable . Based on information currently available, we believe the potential outcome of those cases where we are able to estimate reasonably possible losses, and our estimate of the reasonably possible losses exceeding amounts already recognized, on an aggregated basis, is immaterial to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. VASP litigation We leased 13 aircraft and three spare engines to Viação Aerea de São Paulo (“VASP”), a Brazilian airline. In 1992, VASP defaulted on its lease obligations and we commenced litigation against VASP to repossess our equipment. In 1992, we obtained a preliminary injunction for the repossession and export of 13 aircraft and three spare engines from VASP. We repossessed and exported the aircraft and engines in 1992. VASP appealed this decision. In 1996, the Appellate Court of the State of São Paulo (“TJSP”) ruled in favor of VASP on its appeal. We were instructed to return the aircraft and engines to VASP for lease under the terms of the original lease agreements. The Appellate Court also granted VASP the right to seek damages in lieu of the return of the aircraft and engines. Since 1996 we have defended this case in the Brazilian courts through various motions and appeals. On March 1, 2006, the Superior Tribunal of Justice (the “STJ”) dismissed our then-pending appeal and on April 5, 2006, a special panel of the STJ confirmed this decision. On May 15, 2006 we filed an extraordinary appeal with the Federal Supreme Court. In September 2009 the Federal Supreme Court requested an opinion on our appeal from the office of the Attorney General. This opinion was provided in October 2009. The Attorney General recommended that AerCap’s extraordinary appeal be accepted for trial and that the case be subject to a new judgment before the STJ. The Federal Supreme Court is not bound by the opinion of the Attorney General. While we have been advised that it would be normal practice to take such an opinion into consideration, there are no assurances that the Federal Supreme Court will rule in accordance with the Attorney General opinion or, if it did, what the outcome of the judgment of the STJ would be. On February 23, 2006, VASP commenced a procedure to calculate its alleged damages and since then we, VASP and the court appointed experts to assist the court in calculating damages. Our appointed expert has concluded that no damages were incurred. The VASP-appointed expert has concluded that substantial damages were incurred, and has claimed that such damages should reflect monetary adjustments and default interest for the passage of time. The court-appointed expert has also concluded that no damages were incurred. The public prosecutor ha d filed an opinion that supports the view of the VASP-appointed expert. In response to that opinion, the court-appointed expert reaffirmed his conclusion. A subsequently-appointed public prosecutor has since filed a new opinion that is less supportive of the VASP-appointed expert’s opinion. The procedure is ongoing. We believe, and we have been advised, that it is not probable that VASP will be able to recover damages from us even if VASP prevails on the issue of liability. The outcome of the legal process is, however, uncertain, and the court is conducting its own analysis and will reach its own conclusion. The amount of damages, if any, payable to VASP cannot reasonably be estimated at this time. We continue to actively pursue all courses of action that may reasonably be available to us and intend to defend our position vigorously. In July 2006, we brought a claim for damages against VASP in the English courts, seeking damages incurred by AerCap as a result of VASP's default under seven leases that were governed by English law. VASP filed applications challenging the jurisdiction of the English court, and sought to adjourn the jurisdictional challenge pending the sale of some of its assets in Brazil. We opposed this application and by an order dated March 6, 2008, the English court dismissed VASP’s applications. In September 2008, the bankruptcy court in Brazil ordered the bankruptcy of VASP. VASP appealed this decision. In December 2008, we filed with the English court an application for default judgment, seeking damages plus accrued interest pursuant to seven lease agreements. On March 16, 2009, we obtained a default judgment in which we were awarded approximately $40.0 million in damages plus accrued interest. We subsequently applied to the STJ for an order ratifying the English judgment, so that it might be asserted in the VASP bankruptcy . The STJ granted AerCap's application and entered an order ratifying the English judgment. Although VASP appealed that order, it is fully effective pending a resolution of VASP's appeal of the order ratifying the English judgment. On November 6, 2012, the STJ ruled in favor of VASP on its appeal from the order placing it in bankruptcy. Acting alone, the reporting justice of the appellate panel ordered the bankruptcy revoked and the matter converted to a judicial reorganization. Several creditors of VASP appealed that ruling to the full panel of the STJ. On December 17, 2012, the Special Court of the STJ reversed the ruling of the reporting justice and upheld the order placing VASP in bankruptcy . The decision was published on February 1, 2013. On February 25, 2013, the lapse of time for appeal (res judicata) was certified. In addition to our claim in the English courts, AerCap has also brought actions against VASP in the Irish courts to recover damages incurred as a result of VASP's default under nine leases governed by Irish law. The Irish courts granted an order for service of process, and although VASP opposed service in Brazil, the STJ ruled that service of process had been properly completed. After some additional delay due to procedural issues related to VASP’s bankruptcy, the Irish action went forward. Upon VASP's failure to appear, the High Court entered default judgment in favor of AerCap, finding VASP liable for breach of its obligations under the leases. On October 24, 2014, the High Court entered judgment in favour of AerCap, awarding us damages in the amount of approximately $36.9 million. We are presently seeking to have the Irish judgment ratified by the STJ in Brazil, so that it might be asserted in the VASP bankruptcy . Transbrasil litigation In the early 1990s, two AerCap-related companies (the "AerCap Lessors") leased an aircraft and two engines to Transbrasil S/A Linhas Areas (“Transbrasil”), a now-defunct Brazilian airline. By 1998, Transbrasil had defaulted on various obligations under its leases with AerCap, along with other leases it had entered into with GECC and certain of its affiliates (collectively with GECC, the "GE Lessors"). GECAS was the servicer for all these leases at the time. Subsequently, Transbrasil issued promissory notes (the "Notes") to the AerCap lessors and GE Lessors (collectively the "Lessors") in connection with restructurings of the leases. Transbrasil defaulted on the Notes and GECC brought an enforcement action on behalf of the Lessors in 2001. Concurrently, GECC filed an action for the involuntary bankruptcy of Transbrasil. Transbrasil brought a lawsuit against the Lessors in February 2001 (the “Transbrasil Lawsuit”), claiming that the Notes had in fact been paid at the time GECC brought the enforcement action. In 2007, the trial judge ruled in favor of Transbrasil. That decision was appealed. In April 2010, the appellate court published a judgment (the “2010 Judgment”) rejecting the Lessors' appeal, ordering them to pay Transbrasil statutory penalties equal to double the face amount of the Notes (plus interest and monetary adjustments) as well as damages for any losses incurred as a result of the attempts to collect on the Notes. The 2010 Judgment provided that the amount of such losses would be calculated in separate proceedings in the trial court (the “Indemnity Claim”). In June 2010, the AerCap Lessors and GE Lessors separately filed special appeals before the STJ in Brazil. These special appeals were subsequently admitted for hearing. In July 2011, Transbrasil brought three actions for provisional enforcement of the 2010 Judgment (the “Provisional Enforcement Actions”): one to enforce the award of statutory penalties; a second to recover attorneys’ fees related to that award, and a third to enforce the Indemnity Claim. Transbrasil submitted its alleged calculation of statutory penalties, which, according to Transbrasil, amounted to approximately $210 million in the aggregate against all defendants, including interest and monetary adjustments. AerCap and its co-defendants opposed provisional enforcement of the 2010 judgment, arguing, among other things, that Transbrasil’s calculations were greatly exaggerated. Transbrasil also initiated proceedings to determine the amount of its alleged Indemnity Claim. The court appointed an expert to determine the measure of damages and the defendants appointed an assistant expert. We believe we have strong arguments to convince the expert and the court that Transbrasil suffered no damage as a result of the defendants' attempts to collect on the Notes. In February 2012, AerCap brought a civil complaint against GECAS and GECC in the State of New York (the “New York Action”), alleging, among other things, that GECAS and GECC had violated certain duties to AerCap in connection with their attempts to enforce the Notes and their defense of Transbrasil’s lawsuit. In November 2012, AerCap, GECAS, and the GE Lessors entered into a settlement agreement resolving all of the claims raised in the New York Action. The terms of the settlement agreement are confidential. In October 2013, the STJ granted the special appeals filed by GECAS and its related parties, effectively reversing the 2010 Judgment in most respects as to all of the Lessors. In February 2014, Transbrasil appealed the STJ’s ruling of October 2013 to another panel of the STJ. In light of the STJ’s ruling of October 2013, the trial court has ordered the dismissal of two of Transbrasil’s Provisional Enforcement Actions – those seeking statutory penalties and attorneys’ fees. The TJSP has since affirmed the dismissals of those actions. Transbrasil’s Provisional Enforcement Action with respect to the Indemnity Claim remains pending; however, the action has currently been stayed pending a final decision in the Transbrasil Lawsuit. Yemen Airways-Yemenia litigation ILFC is named in a lawsuit in connection with the 2009 crash of an Airbus A310-300 aircraft owned by ILFC and on lease to Yemen Airways-Yemenia, a Yemeni carrier ("Hassanati Action"). The Hassanati plaintiffs are families of deceased occupants of the flight and seek unspecified damages for wrongful death, costs, and fees. The Hassanati Action commenced in January 2011 and is pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. On February 18, 2014, the district court granted summary judgment in ILFC's favor and dismissed all of the Hassanati plaintiffs' remaining claims. The Hassanati plaintiffs appealed. On March 22, 2016, the appellate court rejected the appeal. On August 29, 2014, a new group of plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against ILFC in the United States District Court for the Central District of California (the "Abdallah Action"). The Abdallah Action claims unspecified damages from ILFC on the same theory as does the Hassanati Action. We believe that ILFC has substantial defenses on the merits and is adequately covered by available liability insurance in respect of both the Hassanati Action and the Abdallah Action. Air Lease litigation On April 24, 2012, ILFC and AIG filed a lawsuit in the Los Angeles Superior Court against ILFC's former CEO, Steven Udvar Hazy, Mr. Hazy's current company, Air Lease Corporation (“ALC”), and a number of ALC's officers and employees who were formerly employed by ILFC. The lawsuit alleged that Mr. Hazy and the former officers and employees, while employed at ILFC, diverted corporate opportunities from ILFC, misappropriated ILFC's trade secrets and other proprietary information, and committed other breaches of their fiduciary duties, all at the behest of ALC. The complaint sought monetary damages and injunctive relief for breaches of fiduciary duty, misappropriation of trade secrets, unfair competition, and various other violations of state law. On August 15, 2013, ALC filed a cross-complaint against ILFC and AIG. Relevant to ILFC, ALC's cross-complaint alleged that ILFC entered into, and later breached, an agreement to sell aircraft to ALC. Based on these allegations, the cross-complaint asserted a claim against ILFC for breach of contract. The cross-complaint sought significant compensatory and punitive damages. On April 23, 2014, ILFC filed an amended complaint adding as a defendant Leonard Green & Partners, L.P. The complaint added claims against Leonard Green & Partners, L.P. for aiding and abetting the individual defendants’ breaches of their fiduciary duties and duty of loyalty to ILFC and for unfair competition. On April 23, 2015, we entered into an agreement to settle the litigation. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, each of the parties to the litigation received full releases of all claims and counterclaims asserted in the litigation. Neither AerCap nor ILFC made or received any payments pursuant to the settlement agreement.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	30 . Fair value measurements The Company determines fair value based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It is our policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements, in accordance with the fair value hierarchy as described below. Where limited or no observable market data exists, fair value measurements for assets and liabilities are primarily based on management’s own estimates and are calculated based upon the economic and competitive environment, the characteristics of the asset or liability and other such factors. Therefore, the results may not be realized in actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability. The degree of judgment used in measuring the fair value of a financial and non-financial asset or liability generally correlates with the level of pricing observability. We classify our fair value measurements based on the observability and significance of the inputs used in making the measurement, as provided below: Level 1 — Quoted prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date. Level 2 — Observable market data. Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets, liabilities (risk adjusted) and market-corroborated inputs, such as market comparables, interest rates, yield curves and other items that allow value to be determined. Level 3 — Unobservable inputs from our own assumptions about market risk developed based on the best information available, subject to cost benefit analysis. Inputs may include our own data. Fair value measurements are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis A s of December 31 , 2015, our derivative portfolio consisted of interest rate swaps and caps, and as of December 31, 2014, our derivative portfolio consisted of interest rate swaps, caps and floors. The fair value of derivatives is based on dealer quotes for identical instruments. We have also considered the credit rating and risk of the counterparty of the derivative contract based on quantitative and qualitative factors. As such, the valuation of these instruments was classified as Level 2. The following table presents our financial assets and liabilities that we measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 201 5 and 2014: As of December 31, 2015 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets Derivative assets $ 18,965 $ — $ 18,965 $ — Liabilities Derivative liabilities 21 — 21 — As of December 31, 2014 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets Derivative assets $ 24,549 $ — $ 24,549 $ — Liabilities Derivative liabilities 2,208 — 2,208 — Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis We measure the fair value of our flight equipment and certain definite-lived intangible assets on a non-recurring basis, when U.S. GAAP requires the application of fair value, including when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be recoverable. Management develops and adjusts the assumptions used in the fair value measurements. Therefore, the fair value measurements of flight equipment and definite-lived intangible assets are classified as Level 3 valuations. Definite-lived intangible assets We use the income approach to measure the fair value of definite-live intangible assets , which is based on the present value of estimated futur e cash flows to be generated from the asset. We impaired certain definite-lived intangible assets to fair value during the year ended December 31, 2015. The fair value of these assets were nil, as the estimated cash outflows exceeded the cash inflows. Please refer to Note 25— AeroTurbine restructuring for further details. Flight equipment Inputs to non-recurring fair value measurements categorized as level 3 We use the income approach to measure the fair value of flight equipment, which is based on the present value of estimated futur e cash flows. Key inputs to the estimated future cash flows for flight equipment include current contractual lease cash flows, projected future non-contractual lease cash flows, extended to the end of the aircraft's estimated holding period in its highest and best use, and a contractual or estimated disposition value. The current contractual lease cash flows are based on the in-force lease rates. The projected future non-contractual lease cash flows are estimated based on the aircraft type, age, and the airframe and engine configuration of the aircraft. The projected non-contractual le ase cash flows are applied to follow-on lease terms , which are estimated based on the age of the aircraft at the time of re-lease and are assumed through the estimated holding period of the aircraft. The estimated holding period is the period over which future cash flows are assumed to be generated. We generally assume the estimated holding period to be 25 year s from the date of manufacture unless facts and circumstances indicate the holding period is expected to be shorter. Shorter holding periods can result from our assessment of the continued marketability of certain aircraft types or when a potential sale or future part-out of an individual aircraft has been contracted for, or is likely. In instances of a potential sale or part-out, the holding period is based on the estimated or actual sale or part-out date. The disposition value is generally estimated based on aircraft type. In situations where the aircraft will be disposed of, the residual value assumed is based on an estimated part-out value or the contracted sale price. The estimated future cash flows, as described above, are then discounted to present value. The discount rate used is based on the aircraft type and incorporates assumptions market participants would use regarding the market attractiveness of the aircraft type , the likely debt and equity financing components , and the required returns of those financing components. For flight equipment held for operating leases that we measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the year ended December 31, 2015, the following table presents the fair value of such flight equipment as of the measurement date, the valuation technique and the related unobservable inputs: Fair value Valuation technique Unobservable input Range (Weighted average) Flight equipment held for operating leases $43.1 million Income approach Discount rate 0% - 10% ( 4.4% ) Remaining holding period 0 - 1 (1) year Present value of non-contractual cash flows 0% - 100% ( 66% ) Sensitivity to changes in unobservable inputs When estimating the fair value measurement of flight equipment, we consider t he effect of a change in a particular assumption independently of changes in any other assumptions. In practice, simultaneous changes in assumptions may not always have a linear effect on inputs. The significant unobservable inputs utilized in the fair value measurement of flight equipment are the discount rate, the remaining estimated holding period and the non-contractual cash flows. The discount rate is affected by movements in the aircraft funding markets, including fluctuations in required rates of return in debt and equity, and loan to value ratios. The remaining estimated holding period and non-contractual cash flows represent management's estimate of the remaining service period of an aircraft and the estimated non-contractual cash flows over the remaining life of the aircraft. An increase in the discount rate would decrease the fair value measurement of the aircraft, while an increase in the remaining estimated holding period or the estimated non-contractual cash flows would increase the fair value measurement of the aircraft . Fair value disclosures of financial instruments The fair value of r estricted cash and c ash and cash equivalents approximates the ir carrying value because of their short-term nature (Level 1 ). The fair value of notes receivable s approxi mates its carrying value (Level 2). The fair value of our long-term unsecured debt is estimated using quoted market prices for similar or identical instruments, depending on the frequency and volume of activity in the market . The fair value of our long-term secured debt is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on current market interest rates and spreads for debt with similar characteristics (Level 2) . Derivatives are recognized i n our Consolidated B alance S heet s at fair value. The fair value of derivatives is based on dealer quotes for identical instruments. We have also considered the credit rating and risk of the counterparties of the derivative contracts based on quantitative and qualitative factors (Level 2). The fair value of guarantees is determined by reference to the fair market value or future lease cash flows of the underlying aircraft and the guaranteed amount (Level 3). The carrying amounts and fair values of our most sign ificant financial instruments as of December 31, 201 5 and 201 4 were as follows: As of December 31, 2015 Carrying value Fair value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 2,403,098 $ 2,403,098 $ 2,403,098 $ — $ — Restricted cash 419,447 419,447 419,447 — — Derivative assets 18,965 18,965 — 18,965 — Notes receivables 116,197 116,197 — 116,197 — $ 2,957,707 $ 2,957,707 $ 2,822,545 $ 135,162 $ — Liabilities Debt $ 29,806,843 $ 29,915,965 $ — $ 29,915,965 $ — Derivative liabilities 21 21 — 21 — Guarantees 47,380 46,827 — — 46,827 $ 29,854,244 $ 29,962,813 $ — $ 29,915,986 $ 46,827 As of December 31, 2014 Carrying value Fair value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,490,369 $ 1,490,369 $ 1,490,369 $ — $ — Restricted cash 717,388 717,388 717,388 — — Derivative assets 24,549 24,549 — 24,549 — Notes receivables 135,154 135,154 — 135,154 — $ 2,367,460 $ 2,367,460 $ 2,207,757 $ 159,703 $ — Liabilities Debt $ 30,402,392 $ 30,384,868 $ — $ 30,384,868 $ — Derivative liabilities 2,208 2,208 — 2,208 — Guarantees 133,500 131,814 — — 131,814 $ 30,538,100 $ 30,518,890 $ — $ 30,387,076 $ 131,814

Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information [Abstract]
Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information	31 . Supplemental guarantor financial information The following supplemental financial information is presented to comply with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. AerCap Aviation Notes In May 2012, AerCap Aviation Solutions B.V. (“AerCap Aviation Solutions”), a 100% - owned finance subsidiary of AerCap Holdings N.V. (the “Parent Guarantor”) , issued $300.0 million of 6.375% senior unsecured notes due 2017 (the “AerCap Aviation Notes”). The AerCap Aviation Notes were initially fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Parent Guarantor. I n November 2012, we entered into a $285 .0 million unsecured revolving credit facility which was guaranteed by AerCap Aviation Solutions and AerCap Ireland Limited (“AerCap Ireland”) . The guarantee by AerCap Ireland under this facility triggered a springing guarantee under the AerCap Aviation Notes indenture. The following condensed consolidating financial information presents the Condensed Consolidating Balan ce Sheets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 , the Condensed Consolidating Income Statement s , Condensed Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows and Condensed Consolidating Statement s of Comprehensive Income for t he years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 of (i ) the Parent Guarantor; (ii ) AerCap Aviation Solutions ; (iii ) AerCap Ireland ; (iv ) the non-guarantor subsidiaries ; (v ) elimination entries necessary to consolidate the Parent Guarantor with AerCap Aviation Solutions, AerCap Ireland and the non-guarantor subsidiaries ; and (vi ) the Company on a consolidated basis. Investments in consolidated subsidiaries are presented under the equity method of accounting. Separate financial statements and other disclosures with respect to AerCap Ireland and AerCap Aviation Solutions have not been provided because AerCap Ireland and AerCap Aviation Solutions are 100%- owned by the Parent Guarantor, all guarantees are full and unconditional and the Parent Guarantor’s financial statements have been filed in this annual report for the periods specified by Rules 3-01 and 3-02 of Regulation S-X . A portion of our cash and cash equivalents is held by subsidiaries and access to such cash by us for group purposes is limited.

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
General	General Our Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We consolidate all companies in which we have a direct and indirect legal or effective control and all VIEs for which we are deemed the PB and have control under ASC 810. All intercompany balances and transactions with consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. The results of consolidated entities are included from the effective date of control or, in the case of VIEs, from the date that we are or become the PB. The results of subsidiaries sold or otherwise deconsolidated are excluded from the date that we cease to control the subsidiary or, in the case of VIEs, when we cease to be the PB. Other investments in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence and joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Consolidated Financial Statements are stated in U.S. dollars, which is our functional currency.
Use Of Estimates	Use of estimates The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period . For us, the use of estimates is or could be a significant factor affecting acquisition accounting in a business combination, the reported carrying values of flight equipment, intangibles, investments, trade and notes receivable s , deferred income tax assets and accruals and reserves. Management considers information available from professional appraisers, where possible, to support estimates, particularly with respect to flight equipment. Actual results may differ from our estimates under different conditions, sometimes materially. In the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, we changed our estimates of useful lives and residual values of certain aircraft. The changes in estimates are a result of the current market conditions that have negatively affected the useful lives and residual values for such aircraft. T he effect for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 was to reduce net income by $35.8 million, $4.4 million and $8.0 million, or $0.18 basic earnings per share and $0.17 diluted earnings per share, $0.02 basic and diluted earnings per share, and $0.07 basic and diluted earnings per share, respectively.
Prior Period Comparative Information	Prior period comparative information Our Consolidated Income Statement for the year ended December 31, 2014 includes a reclassification, as compared to the financial statements contained in our 2014 annual report on Form 20-F, of $48.7 million to reduce lease revenue and leasing expenses. Commencing in the second quarter of 2015, for MR contracts, the release of maintenance rights intangible and accrued maintenance liability at lease termination are presented on a net basis in our Consolidated Income Statement. Previously, these amounts were presented on a gross basis. There were no changes to our Consolidated Balance Sheets, net income or total equity as a result of this reclassification in the period. Our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 include a reclassification, as compared to the financial statements contained in our 2014 annual report on Form 20-F, of $17.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively, to reduce investing cash flows related to the collection for finance and sales-type leases and increase net cash provided by operating activities for the interest income received associated with the collections for finance and sales-type leases. There were no changes to our Consolidated Balance Sheets, net income or total equity as a result of this reclassification in the periods.
Out Of Period Adjustment	Out of period adjustment Our Consolidated Income Statement for the year ended December 31, 2015 includes an out of period adjustment of $16.9 million which decreased net income by $14.4 million , net of tax , or $0.07 basic and diluted earnings per share. This adjustment corrects the capitalized interest on prepayments on flight equipment during the year ended December 31, 2014 . Management has determined, after evaluating the quantitative and qualitative aspects of this out of period adjustment, that our current and prior period financial statements taken as a whole are not materially misstated.
Cash And Cash Equivalents	Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Restricted Cash	Restricted cash Restricted cash includes cash held by banks that is subject to withdrawal restrictions. Such amounts are typically restricted under secured debt agreements and can be used only to service the aircraft securing the debt and to make principal and interest payments on the debt.
Trade Receivables	Trade receivables Trade receivables represent unpaid, current lessee obligations under existing lease contracts or receivables relating to inventory sales . An allowance for credit losses on trade receivables is established when the risk of non-recovery is probable. The risk of non-recovery is primarily based on the extent to which amounts outstanding exceed the value of security held, together with an assessment of the financial strength and condition of a debtor and the economic conditions persisting in the debtor’s operating environment.
Flight Equipment Held For Operating Leases, Net	Flight equipment held for operating leases, net Flight equipment held for operating leases is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Flight equipment is depreciated to its estimated residual value using the straight-line method over the useful life of the aircraft, generally 25 years from the date of manufacture, or a different period depending on the disposition strategy. The costs of improvements to flight equipment are normally expensed unless the improvement increases the long-ter m value or extends the useful life of the flight equipment. The capitalized cost is depreciated over the estimated remaining useful life of the aircraft. The residual value of our aircraft i s generally 15% of industry standard price, except where more recent industry information indicates a different value is appropriate. We periodically review the estimated useful lives and residual values of our aircraft based on our knowledge and external factors coupled with market conditions to determine if they are appropriate, and record adjustments to depreciation prospectively on an aircraft by aircraft basis as necessary. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate the need to perform recoverability assessments of our long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability includes an assessment of the estimated future cash flows associated with the use of an asset and its eventual disposal. The assets are grouped at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of other groups of assets, which includes the individual aircraft and the lease-related assets and liabilities of that aircraft (the “Asset Group”) . If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the aggregate net book value of the Asset Group , an impairment loss is recognized. The loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the impaired Asset Group over its fair value. Fair value reflects the present value of cash expected to be generated from the aircraft in the future, including its expected residual value, discounted at a rate commensurate with the associated risk. Future cash flows are assumed to occur under then current market conditions and assume adequate time for a sale between a willing buyer and a willing seller. Expected future lease rates are based on all relevant information available, including current contracted rates for similar aircraft, appraisal data and industry trends. Annually, we perform an impairment assessment for all of our aircraft, including a review of the undiscounted cash flows for aircraft 15 years of age or older, as the cash flows supporting the carrying value of such older aircraft are more dependent upon current lease contracts, and these leases are more sensitive to weaknesses in the global economic environment. Deterioration of the global economic environment and a decrease of aircraft values might have a negative effect on the undiscounted cash flows of older aircraft and might trigger impairments.
Capitalization Of Interest	Capitalization of interest We capitalize interest on prepayments on flight equipment in respect of flight equipment on forward order and add such amount to prepayments on flight equipment. The amount of interest capitalized is the actual interest costs incurred on funding specific to the prepayments, if any, or the amount of interest costs which could have been avoided in the absence of such prepayments.
Net investment in finance and sales-type leases	Net investment in finance and sales-type leases If a lease meets specific criteria under U.S. GAAP, we recognize the lease in net investment in finance and sales-type leases in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and de-recognize the aircraft from flight equipment held for operating leases. For sales-type leases, we recognize the difference between the aircraft carrying value and the amount recognized in net investment in finance and sales-type leases as a gain on sale of assets or an impairment. The amounts recognized for finance and sales-type leases consist of lease receivables and the estimated unguaranteed residual value of the leased flight equipment on the lease termination date, less the unearned income. Expected unguaranteed residual values of leased flight equipment are based on our assessment of the values of the leased flight equipment at expiration of the lease. The unearned income is recognized in lease revenue in our Consolidated Income Statements over the lease term, in a manner that produces a constant rate of return on the lease.
Definite-Lived Intangible Assets	Definite-lived intangible assets We recognize intangible assets acquired in a business combination at fair value on the date of acquisition. The rate of amortization of definite ‑lived intangible assets is calculated based on the period over which we expect to derive economic benefits from such assets. Maintenance rights intangible and lease premium, net The maintenance rights intangible asset represents the contractual right under our leases acquired as part of the ILFC Transaction to receive the aircraft in a specified maintenance condition at the end of the lease (EOL contracts) or our right to receive an aircraft in better maintenance condition due to our obligation to contribute towards the cost of the maintenance events performed by the lessee either through reimbursement of maintenance deposit rents held (MR contracts), or through a lessor contribution to the lessee. For EOL contracts, to the extent the lease end cash compensation paid to us is less than the maintenance rights intangible asset, we recognize maintenance rights expense upon lease termination. Maintenance rights expense is included in leasing expenses in our Consolidated Income Statements. To the extent the lease end cash compensation paid to us is more than the maintenance rights intangible asset, we recognize lease revenue in our Consolidated Income Statements, upon lease termination. For MR contracts, we recognize maintenance rights expense at the time the lessee submits a reimbursement claim and provides the required documentation related to the cost of a qualifying maintenance event that relates to pre-acquisition usage. The lease premium represents the value of an acquired lease where the contractual rent payments are above the market rate. We amortize the lease premium on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease as a reduction of lease revenue in our Consolidated Income Statements. Other definite-lived intangible assets Other definite-lived intangible assets primarily consist of customer relationships recorded at fair value as a result of the ILFC Transaction. These definite ‑lived intangible assets are amortized over the period which we expect to derive economic benefits from such assets. The amortization expense is recorded in depreciation and amortization in our Consolidated Income Statements. We evaluate all definite ‑lived intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable.
Other Assets	Other assets Other assets consist of inventory, notes receivables, investments, derivative financial instruments, lease incentives, other tangible fixed assets, prepaid expenses, debt issuance costs, and other receivables.
Inventory	Inventory Inventory consists primarily of engine and airframe parts and rotable and consumable parts we sell through our subsidiary AeroTurbine. We value our inventory at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is primarily determined using the specific identification method for individual part purchases and on an allocated basis for engines and aircraft purchased for disassembly and for bulk purchases. Costs are allocated using the relationship of the cost of the engine, aircraft, or bulk inventory purchase to the estimated retail sales value at the time of purchase. At the time of sale this ratio is applied to the sales price of each individual part to determine its cost. We periodically evaluate this ratio and, if necessary, update sales estimates and make adjustments to this ratio. Generally, inventory that is held for more than four years is considered excess inventory and its carrying value is reduced to zero .
Notes Receivable	Notes receivables Notes receivables represent amounts advanced in the normal course of our operations and also arise from the restructuring and deferral of trade receivables from lessees experiencing financial difficulties. An allowance for credit losses on notes receivables is established when the risk of non ‑recovery is probable. The assessment of the risk of non ‑recovery where lessees are experiencing financial difficulties is primarily based on the extent to which amounts outstanding exceed the value of security held, together with an assessment of the financial strength and condition of the debtor and the economic conditions persisting in the debtor’s operating environment. The note receivable as a result of the ALS Transaction was recorded at fair value and is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the retrospective effective interest method.
Investments	Investments Investments over which we have significant influence but not a controlling interest, joint ventures or VIEs for which we are not the PB are reported using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, we include our share of earnings and losses of such investments in equity in net earnings (losses) of investments accounted for under the equity method.
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative financial instruments We use derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to interest rate risks and foreign currency risks. We recognize derivatives in our Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. When cash flow hedge accounting treatment is applied, the changes in fair values related to the effective portion of the derivatives are recorded in AOCI, and the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in interest expense. Amounts reflected in AOCI related to the effective portion are reclassified into interest expense in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects interest expense. We discontinue hedge accounting prospectively when (i) we determine that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item; (ii) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised; or (iii) management determines that designating the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate. In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, we recognize the changes in the fair value in current-period earnings. The remaining balance in AOCI at the time we discontinue hedge accounting is not recognized in our Consolidated Income Statements unless it is probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur. Such amounts are recognized in interest expense when the hedged transaction affects interest expense. When cash flow hedge accounting treatment is not applied, the changes in fair values related to interest derivatives between periods are recognized in interest expense and changes in fair value relating to currency derivatives are recognized as a reduction or increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Income Statements. Net cash received or paid under derivative contracts in any reporting period is classified as operating cash flows in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Lease Incentives	Lease incentives We capitalize amounts paid or value provided to lessees as lease incentives. We amortize lease incentives on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease as a reduction in lease revenue in our Consolidated Income Statements.
Other Tangible Fixed Assets	Other tangible fixed assets Other tangible fixed assets consist primarily of computer equipment, leasehold improvements and office furniture, and are valued at acquisition cost and depreciated at various rates over the asset’s estimated useful life using the straight-line method. Depreciation expense on other tangible fixed assets is recorded in depreciation and amortization in our Consolidated Income Statements.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair value measurements Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We measure the fair value of our derivatives on a recurring basis and measure the fair value of flight equipment and definite-lived intangible assets on a non-recurring basis. See Note 30 — Fair value measurements .
Income Taxes	Income taxes We recognize an uncertain tax benefit only to the extent that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.
Deferred Tax Assets And Liabilities	Deferred income tax assets and liabilities We report deferred income taxes resulting from the temporary differences between the book values and the tax values of assets and liabilities using the liability method. The differences are calculated at nominal value using the enacted tax rate applicable at the time the temporary difference is expected to reverse. Deferred income tax assets attributable to unutilized losses carried forward or other timing differences are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that such losses will not be utilized to offset future taxable income.
Guarantees	Guarantees As a result of the ILFC Transaction, we have contracts that guarantee the residual values of aircraft owned by third parties. We also entered into an agreement to guarantee the future re-lease or extension rates and other cost of four aircraft. When it becomes probable that we will be required to perform under a guarantee, we accrue a liability based on an estimate of the loss we will incur to perform under the guarantee. The estimate of the loss is generally measured as the amount by which the contractual guaranteed value exceeds the fair market value or future lease cash flows of the underlying aircraft.
Accrued Maintenance Liability	Accrued maintenance liability Under our aircraft leases, the lessee is responsible for maintenance and repairs and other operating expenses related to our flight equipment during the term of the lease. In certain instances, such as when an aircraft is not subject to a lease, we may incur maintenance and repair expenses for our aircraft. Maintenance and repair expenses are recorded in leasing expenses in our Consolidated Income Statements, to the extent such expenses are incurred by us. We may be obligated to make additional payments to the lessee for maintenance related expenses, primarily related to usage of major life-limited components existing at the inception of the lease (“lessor maintenance contributions”). For all lease contracts, we expense planned major maintenance activities, such as lessor maintenance contributions, when incurred. The charge is recorded in leasing expenses in our Consolidated Income Statements. In the case we have established an accrual as an assumed liability for such payment in connection with the purchase of an aircraft with a lease attached, such payments are charged against the existing accrual. For all contracts acquired as part of the ILFC Transaction, we determined the fair value of our maintenance liability, including lessor maintenance contributions, using the present value of the expected cash outflows. The discounted amounts are accreted in subsequent periods to their respective nominal values up until the expected maintenance event dates using the effective interest method. The accretion is recorded as an increase in interest expense in our Consolidated Income Statements.
Debt And Deferred Debt Issuance Costs	Debt and deferred debt issuance costs Long ‑term debt is carried at the principal amount borrowed, including unamortized discounts and premiums and fair value adjustments, where applicable. The fair value adjustments reflect the application of the acquisition method of accounting to the debt assumed as part of the ILFC Transaction. We amortize the amount of discount or premium and fair value adjustments over the period the debt is outstanding using the effective interest method. The costs we incur for issuing debt are capitalized and amortized as an increase to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method. The coupon liability as a result of the ALS Transaction was recorded at fair value and is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the retrospective effective interest method.
Lessee Security Deposits	Lessee security deposits For all lessee deposits assumed as part of the ILFC Transaction, we discounted our lessee security deposits to their respective present values. We accrete these discounted amounts to their respective nominal values, over the period we expect to refund the security deposits to each lessee, using the effective interest method, recognizing an increase in interest expense.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue recognition We lease flight equipment principally under operating leases and recognize rental income on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. At lease inception, we review all necessary criteria to determine proper lease classification. We account for lease agreements that include uneven rental payments on a straight-line basis. The difference between rental revenue recognized and cash received is included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets in other assets, or in the event it is a liability, in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities. In certain cases, leases provide for rentals contingent on usage. The usage may be calculated based on hourly usage or on the number of cycles operated, depending on the lease contract. Revenue contingent on usage is recognized at the time the lessee reports the usage to us. Lease agreements for which base rent is based on floating interest rates are included in minimum lease payments based on the floating interest rate existing at the inception of the lease; any increases or decreases in lease payments that result from subsequent changes in the floating interest rate are contingent rentals and are recorded as increases or decreases in lease revenue in the period of the interest rate change. Our lease contracts normally include default covenants, which generally obligate the lessee to pay us damages to put us in the position we would have been in had the lessee performed under the lease in full. There are no additional payments required which would increase the minimum lease payments. We cease revenue recognition on a lease contract when the collectability of such rentals is no longer reasonably assured. For past-due rentals that exceed related security deposits held, which have been recognized as revenue, we establish provisions on the basis of management’s assessment of collectability. Such provisions are recorded in leasing expenses in our Consolidated Income Statements. Revenues from net investment in finance and sales-type leases are included in lease revenue in our Consolidated Income Statements and are recognized using the interest method to produce a constant yield over the life of the lease. Most of our lease contracts require payment in advance. Rentals received but unearned under these lease agreements are recorded as deferred revenue in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Under our aircraft leases, the lessee is responsible for maintenance, repairs and other operating expenses related to our flight equipment during the term of the lease. Under the provisions of many of our leases, the lessee is required to make payments of supplemental maintenance rents which are calculated with reference to the utilization of the airframe, engines and other major life-limited components during the lease. We record as lease revenue all supplemental maintenance rent receipts not expected to be reimbursed to lessees. We estimate the total amount of maintenance reimbursements for the entire lease and only record revenue after we have received enough maintenance rents under a particular lease to cover the total amount of estimated maintenance reimbursements during the remaining lease term. In most lease contracts not requiring the payment of supplemental maintenance rents, and to the extent that the aircraft is redelivered in a different condition than at acceptance, we generally receive EOL cash compensation for the difference at redelivery. We recognize receipts of EOL cash compensation as lease revenue when received to the extent those receipts exceed the EOL contract maintenance rights intangible asset, and we recognize leasing expenses when the EOL contract maintenance rights intangible asset exceeds the EOL cash receipts . Accrued maintenance liability existing at the end of a lease is released and recognized as lease revenue at lease termination to the extent that the maintenance liability exceeds the MR contract maintenance rights intangible asset. If the maintenance liability does not exceed the MR contract maintenance rights intangible asset, we recognize the difference as a leasing expense. When flight equipment is sold, the portion of the accrued maintenance liability which is not specifically assigned to the buyer is released from our Consolidated Balance S heet s , net of any maintenance rights intangible asset balance, and recognized as part of the sale of the flight equipment as gain or loss in net gain on sale of assets in our Consolidated Income Statements. Net gain or loss on sale of assets originates primarily from the sale of aircraft and engines. The sale is recognized when the relevant asset is delivered, the risk of loss has transferred to the buyer, and we no longer have significant ownership risk in the asset sold. Other income consists of interest income, management fees, lease termination penalties, inventory part sales and net gain on sale of equity interest in investments accounted for under the equity method. Income from secured loans, notes receivables and other interest bearing instruments is recognized using the effective yield method as interest accrues under the associated contracts. Lease management fees are recognized as income as they accrue over the life of the contract. Income from the receipt of lease termination penalties is recorded at the time cash is received or when the lease is terminated, if revenue recognition criteria are met.
Pension	Pension We operate a defined benefit pension plan for our Dutch employees and some of our Irish employees. We recognize net periodic pension costs associated with these plans in selling, general and administrative expenses and recognize the unfunded status of the plan, if any, in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities. The change in fair value of the funded pension liability that is not related to the net periodic pension cost is recorded in AOCI. The projection of benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets require the use of assumptions and estimates, including discount rates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Furthermore, we operate defined contribution plans for the employees who do not fall under the defined benefit pension plans. We recognize an expense for contributions to the defined contribution plans in selling, general and administrative expenses in the period the contributions are made.
Share-Based Compensation	Share ‑based compensation Certain employees receive AerCap share-based awards, consisting of restricted stock units and restricted stock. The share-based compensation expense is determined by reference to the fair value of the restricted stock units or restricted stock on the grant date and is recognized over the vesting period using the straight-line method, classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Income Statements.
Foreign Currencies	Foreign currency Foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the time the transaction took place. Receivables or payables arising from such foreign currency transactions are remeasured into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on each subsequent balance sheet date. All resulting exchange gains and losses are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Income Statements.
Variable Interest Entities	Variable interest entities We consolidate VIEs in which we have determined that we are the PB. We use judgment when determining (i) whether an entity is a VIE; (ii) who are the variable interest holders; (iii) the elements and degree of control that each variable interest holder has; and (iv) ultimately which party is the PB. When determining which party is the PB, we perform an analysis which considers (i) the design of the VIE; (ii) the capital structure of the VIE; (iii) the contractual relationships between the variable interest holders; (iv) the nature of the entities’ operations; and (v) the purposes and interests of all parties involved, including related parties. While we consider these factors, our conclusion about whether to consolidate ultimately depends on the breadth of our decision-making ability and our ability to influence activities that significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE. We continually re-evaluate whether we are the PB for VIEs in which we hold a variable interest.
Earnings Per Share	Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. For the purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the denominator includes both the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period and the weighted average number of potentially dilutive ordinary shares, such as restricted stock units, restricted stock and stock options.
Reportable Segments	Reportable segments We manage our business and analyze and report our results of operations on the basis of one business segment: leasing, financing, sales and management of commercial aircraft and engines.
Recent Accounting Guidance	Recent accounting guidance adopted during the year ended December 31, 2015 Reporting discontinued operations In April 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard that changes the requirements for presenting a component or group of components of an entity as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures. Under the standard, the disposal of a component or group of components of an entity should be reported as a discontinued operation if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. Disposals of equity method investments, or those reported as held ‑for ‑sale, will be eligible for presentation as a discontinued operation if they meet the new definition. The standard also requires entities to provide specified disclosures about a disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation. We adopted the standard on its required effective date of January 1, 2015 and it did not have any effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Future Application Of Accounting Standards	Future application of accounting standards Revenue from contracts with customers In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard that provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry ‑specific guidance. This guidance does not apply to lease contracts with customers. The standard will require an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This update creates a five ‑step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of the contract including (i) identifying the contract with the customer; (ii) identifying the separate performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determining the transaction price; (iv) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations; and (v) recognizing revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. This standard was originally scheduled to be effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2016 and subsequent interim periods. In August 2015, the FASB issued an update to the standard which deferred the effective date to January 1, 2018. The standard may be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of applying this standard recognized at the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted, but not before the originally scheduled effective date. We plan to adopt the standard on its required effective date of January 1, 2018. We are evaluating the effect the adoption of the standard will have on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. This new standard does not impact the accounting of our lease revenue but may impact the accounting of our revenue other than lease revenue, as a result, we do not expect the impact of this standard to be material to our Consolidated Financial Statements. Amendments to the consolidation analysis In February 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard that affects reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. Specifically, the amendments modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities; eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership; affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships; and provide a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds. This standard will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The standard may be applied retrospectively or through a cumulative effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the year of adoption. We will adopt the standard on its required effective date of January 1, 2016. We do not expect the impact of this standard to be material to our Consolidated Financial Statements. Presentation of debt issuance costs In April 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard that requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability. In August 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard to clarify that entities are permitted to defer and present debt issuance costs related to line of credit arrangements as an asset, and subsequently amortize the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line of credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any out standing borrowings on the line of credit arrangement. The standards are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 . Early adoption is permitted . Upon adoption, the standards should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We will adopt the standards on their required effective date of January 1, 2016. The adoption of these standards will only result in a change in presentation of these costs in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Inventory In July 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard that simplifies the subsequent measurement of all inventory except for inventory measured using the last-in, first-out or the retail inventory method. Inventory within the scope of this standard will be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value instead of the lower of cost or market as required under existing guidance. Net realizable value is the estimated sale price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This standard also requires that substantial and unusual losses that result from the subsequent measurement of inventory be disclosed in the financial statements. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This standard should be applied prospectively, with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. We plan to adopt the standard on its required effective date of January 1, 2017. We are evaluating the effect the adoption of the standard will have on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. Lease accounting In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard that requires lessees to recognize lease-related assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease. In certain circumstances, the lessee is required to remeasure the lease payments. Qualitative and quantitative disclosures, including significant judgments made by management, will be required to provide insight into the extent of revenue and expense recognized and expected to be recognized from existing contracts. Under the new standard, lessor accounting remains similar to the current model. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard must be adopted using the modified retrospective transition approach. We plan to adopt the standard on its required effective date of January 1, 2019. We are evaluating the effect the adoption of the standard will have on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Adoption of the new standard will change the way airlines report operating leases in their financial statements, which could affect their behavior. However, we do not believe that the adoption will significantly impact airlines’ decision to lease aircraft.

[1]	The tax variance as a result of global activities is primarily caused by our operations in countries with a lower statutory tax rate than the statutory tax rate in the Netherlands.
[2]	The 2015 non-taxable income included the non-deductible intercompany interest allocated to the United States of America, non-deductible share-based compensation in the Netherlands, non-deductible costs relating to the transfer of certain functions from the Netherlands to Ireland, and a valuation allowance taken in respect of U.S. and Dutch tax losses. The 2014 non-taxable income included the non-deductible intercompany interest allocated to the United States of America, non-deductible share-based compensation in the Netherlands and the non-deductible transaction costs from the ILFC Transaction.
[3]	The local statutory income tax expense for our significant tax jurisdictions (the Netherlands, Ireland, the United States of America and Isle of Man) does not differ from the actual income tax expense.
