LONDON, June 11 (Reuters) - London's High Court on

Wednesday ruled in favour of aircraft leasing companies in a

multi-billion-dollar legal dispute over jets retained in Russia

since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

The world's largest aircraft lessor AerCap ( AER ) and

several other firms had sued insurers including AIG,

Lloyd's, Chubb and Swiss Re in one of the

biggest insurance disputes ever heard in London.

The London lawsuit had focused on almost 150 jets and some

engines, previously with a total value of up to $4.7 billion,

though settlements - including on the first day of trial in

October and subsequently - have whittled the numbers down.
