DUBLIN, Oct 29 (Reuters) - AerCap ( AER ), the world's

largest aircraft lessor, raised its full-year earnings guidance

on Wednesday after booking record gains from the sale of

aircraft during the third quarter amid a continued severe

shortage in the supply of jets.

The Dublin-based company's third-quarter revenue and

adjusted EPS also beat analyst expectations, indicative, it

said, of a continued favourable environment for leasing and

sales.

AerCap ( AER ) expects full-year adjusted earnings per share (EPS)

of around $13.70, including gains on the sale of aircraft,

engines and helicopters in the first nine months of the year,

but before any potential further gains in the final quarter.

It had forecast adjusted EPS of $11.60 at the end of June

before it sold 32 more assets for $1.5 billion, which produced

gains on sales of $332 million, its highest ever for a quarter.

That compared with $102 million for the same period in 2024,

relating to 22 assets sold for $479 million.

AerCap ( AER ) still increased its portfolio of owned, managed or

ordered aircraft, engines and helicopters to 3,536 at the end of

September from just over 3,500 three months earlier.
