Communiqué publié le 09/05/2007 à 14h06

Chicago-based BCI Aircraft Leasing, Inc. ("BCI") today announced it has opened a South American office in the interest of expanding its presence in the region. In its first transaction there since the office opened, the company has leased three Boeing 737-500s to Aerolineas Argentinas.

BCI's newest office is located Buenos Aires and headed by Pablo Bottachi, who has been named Managing Director of Latin American Operations. In this role Mr. Bottachi is responsible for business development throughout Latin America. He joins BCI from ING Bank N.V., where he specialized in structured finance transactions in the aviation sector.

The company is already reaping South American business opportunities. According to Richard Horn, Director of Aircraft Sales & Trading, who was integral in the transaction, the three Boeing 737-500s will go on lease to Aerolineas Argentinas later this year, for a period of 72 months each. All three aircraft were acquired from Air France last year.

"We are thrilled that we are already seeing results from our efforts to further our business in Latin America," said Brian Hollnagel, President of BCI. "Key members of our marketing team were successful with Aerolineas Argentinas and with the addition of Pablo we are further energized by the many exciting, new opportunities that exist in this part of the world."

BCI Aircraft Leasing, Inc was founded in 1997 and since then has become one of the world's largest and fastest growing privately-held operating leasing companies with a portfolio of more than 100 commercial aircraft. BCI provides airlines with financial products and services to help them achieve their financial and fleet planning goals. BCI's customer list includes leading airlines such as Air France, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Delta Airlines, Southwest Airlines and many other prominent air carriers around the world.
