全球最大的独立航空租赁巨头荷兰爱尔开普(AERCAP)企业首席执行官AENGUSKELLY表示，今年企业在中国航空租赁市场收入增长将超过10%，市场占有率超过5%。其中，亚洲和大洋洲占AERCAP去年前9个月租赁收入的28%，未来亚洲地区的租赁收入将占到30%。截至2010年，中国租赁收入占企业总租赁收入的4.4%。为拓展中国市场，AERCAP已在北京与中国航空器材集团企业和法国农业信贷银行(CREDITAGRICOLE)共同设立了合资企业AERDRAGON。

AENGUSKELLY认为，目前有1489架大型商用飞机在中国运营，这意味着每百万人有1.1架飞机，而美国目前每百万人有14架飞机，目前中国订购的飞机有629架，占当前机队总数的42%。在未来20年内，中国对新飞机的预期需求将超过4万架，这将使大约1600架额外租赁的飞机进入中国市场。目前，AERCAP还与中国投入企业——鑫根资本建立了紧密的战略合作关系。鑫根资本创始合伙人曾强估算，到2020年，中国飞机租赁市场将产生大约2万亿元人民币的市场收入，届时，对相关产业链上的飞机制造、租赁和服务都将有巨大拉动，这还不包含将来中国私人飞机、低空飞行领域开放以后所产生的另一片全新市场。
