Further consolidation is imminent in the aircraft lessor segment. SMBC Leasing is keen to take over competitor Goshawk. Only recently, AerCap and Gecas were merged.

By far the largest lessor in the world emerged from the merger of the aforementioned Lessors. AerCap bought Gecas. The Irish Independent now reports that SMBC Leasing intends to take over competitor Goshawk. If the project succeeds, you would have a joint portfolio of around 900 aircraft.
