AerCap revenue eases 0.3% but net profit more than doubles

AerCap has reported a minor reduction in revenue in 1Q2011 thanks to lower revenue from the sale of aircraft, engines and parts. The company's lease revenue jumped 56%, mainly due to the all-share acquisition of Genesis Lease on 25-Mar-2010 and deliveries of forward order aircraft. Shares in the company eased 0.3% yesterday.
