AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands - AerCap Holdings N.V. (NYSE: AER) announced that it has completed transactions sold its interest in eight Boeing 737-800 aircraft to accounts managed by an affiliate of Guggenheim Partners, LLC.

Guggenheim Partners is a privately held, diversified financial services firm. It is headquartered in New York City and Chicago with more than $180 billion of assets under its management. Including more than $2.7 billion of commercial aviation assets managed by the firm's commercial aviation investment management group, Guggenheim Aviation Partners.
